4/5 stars. Excellent and relatively cheap ranged character.
Background.
Sourced directly from the best of the recon squads, the Vigilators are the true marksmen of the legions. More than this, they are also the ears on the ground and the scouts who get the lay of the land before the main attack.
Strengths.
BS=7 is very attractive indeed.
They carry a Nemesis rifle which gives them an impressive 48 inch range along with S=6 shots that come with breaching, pinning, as well as precision. This combination is terrific. Not only can you snipe half the time, but getting to apply pinning from turn 1 is a very good move as well!
They come with a native infiltrate of 9 which means you can set up almost at will. But you really probably don't want to be too close. Set up in the middle perhaps where you have height and range to last a few turns before someone targets you. The 2+/5++ save is reasonable here as well to help keep you alive. Also don't forget your Smoke Screen where applicable.
Weaknesses.
For the points cost, I can't really fault a vigilator. Hence if ranged sniping is your favourite play, then this is almost a "must" character, and he is also much cheaper than the likes of Exodus.
Builds.
No builds are available: there are no upgrades to take unless your legion specific rules allow it.
