Konflikt '47 Nachtalben Squad with StG 44Z

The Nachtalben are one result of human test subjects being exposed to Rift energy, warping them grotesquely whilst leaving them with all their cognitive faculties. Terrifyingly, this means that the test subjects were more than likely voluntary, given their continuing proclivity to military discipline. They are unnaturally fast, with heightened reflexes and unlike other Axis Rift troops carry weapons and fight more like conventional infantry, though they have displayed a limited ability to temporarily shape-shift. As such, Nachtalben specialize in infiltration, ambushes, disrupting enemy lines under the cover of darkness, and moving through tough terrain with unnatural ease.
