Gozu-Tenno
VANGUARD LITTER PACKS
Rank is often determined by age in Nefertem society and these
are the lowest of the low. As young as three months of age,
these warbands compose of mates from the same litter with an
Overseer to drive them into battle. Shieldbearers usually
comprise the front line, absorbing enemy missiles with their
Warshields or their bodies. Following close behind are their
brothers and sisters with swords and spears. Bringing up the
rear is the Overseer, ready to slay any who would disgrace their
familial unit.

THE AGED
After several battles, a Litter is generally reduced to the point of being
unfieldable. Nefertem who have survived the loss of their family members are
extensively trained to work with other such veterans. These elite units can demand,
and usually receive, better quarters, equipment, food and drugs. Known as the Aged
for their now patchy and grey fur, they tend to perform mop-up duties on any foes
surviving the tide of Littermates. Adding to their effectiveness are Qurai and
Gozu-Tenno mercenaries swelling their ranks.

RAT CLAN NEST GUARD
The Dwarven Rat Clan has gained much from their alliance with the Nefertem. One of
the many concessions the Rat Clan has had to make to the Nefertem to assure their
prosperity is providing and equipping elite guards. Nearly every Nefertem Chieftain
has a personal bodyguard of Rat Clan guarding him and the breeding nests. They are
usually only deployed in battle in the most dire of circumstances, when the
Chieftain himself must enter combat. The Nest Guard is well supported by
mercenaries from the Qurai and Gozu-Tenno (showing just how good their powers of
disguise are) and is a staunch defensive force, as difficult to root out as a rat in
a hole.

BLESSED BRETHREN
Though the small size and flexible skeletature of the Nefertem are great advantages
underground, they often lead to them being physically overpowered on the surface
world. Early on during the Massacre, Sakhmet acted through her Prophets to create
specialized breeding programs for a new warrior caste. Though this moved quickly
due to the short lifespan and large litters of the Nefertem, the goddess has never
been known for patience and interfered directly. The Blessed Brethren swelled to
prodigious size but were reduced to a rudimentry intelligence and an even shorter
lifespan. Nefertem Care-Takers are assigned to the Brethren from birth to train
them nearly every waking hour and guide them to trouble spots on the field of
battle. During the mass confusion after the Wilding, it took little persuasion to
convince surrounding Dwarven Clans that the Blessed Brothers were actually "Rat
Totems."

JARRI ARCHERS
The Jarri have lived on the
surface world for generations
as wandering clans of hired
killers. Unlike the underground
world, missiles are viable
weapons and the Jarri strive to
master them. They are regarded
as demons in the Southron deserts
for their lightning-fast raids
and black-fledged arrows killing
with a scratch. With the
reemergance of the Stygian, the
Jarri have joined the rest of the Nefertem for only token fees. The Gozu-Tenno,
realizing the urgent need for elite missile troops, has poured much of their
wealth in securing Jarri commissions for years to come.

THUGEES
The Gozu-Tenno still concern themselves almost exclusively with hunting down and
utterly destroying Sakhmet's enemies. The hunting down and rousting out of these
enemies falls to the more-than-capable Thugees. Falling upon defenders through
routes believed secure, Thugees and Swordmasters slay all those who dare to fight as
the crack-shot Slingers and Netmasters down those who wisely flee.

APDEMA'AT
After the Thugees locate prey, the Apdema'at brings it down. Their name implies
that they are living embodiments of Sakhmet's judgement upon mortal life. If any
know the secrets of the Apdema'at, they are either silent or silenced. What is
whispered of is the deadly skill of these stealthy assassins. Several reports have
come from armies forewarned of Stygian ambushes by eviscerated Tree Devil corpses
and nearly a dozen Nightwalkers have gone missing recently while probing the
Labyrinth. The Wolf Clan is still investigating the outpost of Scouts found slain
with their weapons still unsheathed and is baffled. Any Devout force strong enough
would have been located by now.

A model with this ability is not deployed with the rest of its Warband. A basic
model of that unit type is added instead. At any time during the game, the player
may switch any model in the Warband with the Disguised model. This does not cost an
Action to perform and does not automatically Activate the model.
