I based the Externs on the how every one of the other infantry squads are.  Every one of the infantry squads are all pretty much the exact same with just a few different weapons options.

 

The Retributors are pretty much basic battle sisters with just fewer numbers and more heavy weapons

The Dominions are pretty much basic battle sisters with just fewer numbers and the ability to have 2 more special weapons and outflank

The Celestians are pretty much basic battle sisters with just +1 attack & Init

 

 

Didn't think about the whole 'sniper flamer' thing....

I'm not sure I want units of pubescent girls hard coded into the fluff. Pubescent super-soldiers (marine scouts) are bad enough.

Fixed.

I don't like them scouts either.

It's from a Cain book, so the actual inspiration is anybody's guess, but I'd favour the idea that 14 is squiring age.

Imo, its not so much the squiring age, as much as the age at which they get send off into real battles.

looked 'no older than fourteen'.

So they got awesome cosmetics and spas. tongue.png
