death_adeptVindicare Spy Mask
Issued to Imperial Assassins of the Vindicare Temple, this wargear’s systems are incredibly advanced and sophisticated.
It is said that the design for the Spy Mask is little-understood even by the Tech-Priests of Mars. The spy mask contains
cartridges of concentrated food and water for extended operations, and a multi-channel comm sensor (both vox and
pict) for monitoring enemy communications. Its main feature is a wide-spectrum visor which can pick out heat and energy
sources at tremendous distances. The mask includes a built-in auspex, advanced highquality
magnoculars, good-quality photo-visor (granting the wearer the Dark Sight Trait and making him immune to the
effects of photon flash grenades), pict-recorder, re-breather, and vox-caster. In addition, the wearer may re-roll any failed
Perception-based Test, and does not suffer a change to the range bracket when firing a ranged weapon at a target
protected by Cameleoline.
It should be noted that the equipment of a Vindicare Assassin is often gene-coded to that individual and no other,
and that it would take a great deal of effort—and a Very Hard (–30) Tech-Use and Medicae Test—to adjust the
gene-coding for another user.
Vindicare Stealth Suit
This item of wargear appears as a matte-black bodyglove, specially fitted for the individual Assassin. The Vindicare
Temple has a long-standing pact with the Adeptus Mechanicus to craft these exquisite suits, each one combining Cameleolinelaced
materials with a complex version of “synskin.” This material bonds with the Assassin’s body, enhancing his reflexes
and protecting him from poisons, gases, and other hazards of the battlefield. Each suit is supple and silent, allowing the
Assassin to move with perfect freedom whilst still retaining its protective qualities.
The Stealth Suit may not be worn under any form of armour. It provides 3 points of Armour to all locations and
incorporates all the benefits of synskin. The Stealth Suit grants a +10 bonus to Dodge Tests and to Toughness tests to resist
any form of toxin, and a +20 bonus to Concealment and Silent Move Tests. The wearer may attempt a Concealment
Test as a Half Action instead of a Full Action, and may make the attempt even whilst being observed. If the wearer remains
stationary, he counts as being one range bracket further away for all ranged attacks against him. The Stealth Suit makes the
wearer invisible to the Dark Sight Trait, preysense, and infared sensors of all kinds. This item is manufactured at the Best
craftsmanship level.

Exitus Pistol
The Exitus pistol is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, a weapon as elegant as it is deadly. Unlike the larger rifle, the Exitus
pistol is mainly considered a backup weapon for the Vindicare Temple, primarily used in those rare circumstances where
the Assassin is discovered, cornered, or in need of rapidfire capability. Under those circumstances, the Exitus pistol
performs admirably, and more than a few Vindicare Assassins owe their lives to this weapon. The Exitus Pistol has a built-in
silencer and is manufactured at the Best craftsmanship level.
Exitus Rifle
The signature weapon of the Vindicare Temple, this rifle is amongst the finest examples of Imperial weaponsmithing.
Hand-crafted by a Magos-Artisan of the Adeptus Mechanicus, each Exitus rifle is part of a matched set—both pistol and rifle
customised to the specifications of the individual Assassin. The Exitus weapons contain sophisticated machine-spirits
and utilise ammunition constructed from special heavy-gravity alloys to penetrate nearly all forms of known protection. All
Exitus weapons incorporate a silencer and a selector switch. The Exitus rifle has a built-in telescopic sight. Exitus weapons
are manufactured at the Best craftsmanship level. The firer may load one round as a half action (normally for one of the special
issue ammunition loads). If the firer has the Rapid Reload Talent, he may instead use a Reaction to load a single round.
