They all have vibro blades and wear the skin of their fallen enemies.

I'm probably thinking about this too much, but... where'd they all get vibro-blades?

from what I remember, vibro-weapons are fairly common, though expencive. (not as much as say a lazer pistol). And while they are fairly wild, they probably still hunt, thus trade things like furs or labor work for credits to buy them. A clan probably takes care of everyone, so everyone in a clan chips in to purchase a weapon for a new member/member coming of age. Not to mention towns and places like Manistique Impierum or NG or whatever give discounts to psi stalkers, especially if they are xinixtics killers since the xinixtics are so close to home.

Imagine an entire clan of psi stalkers with the tk rifles (unlimited ammo) from xiticix, light Xiticix armor (free, doesnt effect mobility, dont forget the air filter). PCs (or the xiticix, dont forget the scent gland) can't tell who is shooting at you if they are in hiding. Or they could be riding mdc mounts, I like the idea of teradactyls & t-rex types - who can go a week plus without food and have enough ppe to keep the stalkers happy. Anything that can move a lot faster than the Xiticix is good.

Then becasue the psi stalkers have been doing this for a long time they learn tricks, like using gas attacks to confuse and blind the Xiticix.

its been mentioned but the best source of mdc armor and weapons
is the xiticux themselves if one was brought down it could start
a avalanch that arms all of the psy stalkers.

If so, that would be another advantage to the Psi-Stalkers, since as there draining them they are also rendering them helpless to fire.

The weapons can also be powered by I.S.P., but it's more expensive, and most Xiticix wouldn't have enough for more than one or two recharges. This also allows the Psi-Stalkers to use captured Xiticix TK-Rifles.
