Once removed, a Master Sniper may not return to the battlefield but doesn't count as having been killed for Victory point purposes.

Camo Cloak

Any Tanith squad adds +1 to any cover saves they are allowed. In addition, opponents roll 2D6x2 instead of 2D6x3 when attempting to spot Tanith troops in a Night Fight.
