Imperial Guard Jet Bike Squadrons

22 points per model

Imperial guard jet bikes are sleek one-man craft propelled by powerful anti-grav motors. The imperial jet bike is a wonder of ancient engineering. Mastery of the jet bike is a challenge for any aspiring Imperial Guard pilot. The organic lines of the jet bike allow the rider to execute incredibly sharp turns in mid-air and the powerful anti-grav motors can be manipulated to send the jet bike into a steep dive or a sharp climb. It takes years of training to master a jet bike’s potential, but one who does so builds a rapport with his machine comparable to the rapport the mythic horse-masters of ancient Terra had with their steeds.

Jet bike units, when they are available – which is rarely – operate as forward scouts and fast-response forces, speeding across the battlefield in a blur before unleashing fusillades of laser or autocannon fire into the enemy. A common tactic is for jet bikers to bypass the front line completely and then close on the enemy from their rear taking a fearsome toll before gunning their engines and speeding off again
