Skitarii Battle-Pilgrym Rules Unpacked: Tough, Fast, and Command-Ready

Warhammer Community breaks down the Skitarii Battle-Pilgrym in Horus Heresy-era play, highlighting their durability (2 Wounds, Toughness 4, 4+ save, 6+ invulnerable), speed (Fast 2 for Rush), and hard-hitting voltlock arquebuses with the Deflagrate rule. Units can form up to 16 and gain versatility via four Detachment Traits: Acquisitor and Expurgator (Line/Vanguard for objective control) and Vindictor and Scourger (Loyalist/Traitor options that boost Deflagrate or charge range). A key feature is the Marshal Elect reaction, which lets a fallen Battle-Pilgrym Marshal be replaced by another Ordinator with improved weapon skills and leadership, chosen during the End Phase.
