Legiones Astartes – Kyzagan Assault Speeder Squadron
- Kyzagan Assault Speeder Squadron 105 pts
With few heavy tanks capable of keeping pace with the more fleet Brotherhood’s bikemounted warriors, the White Scars turned to the Javelin platform to provide them with a mobile and yet hardhitting support vehicle. Mounted with a Kheres assault cannon and two reaper autocannon, the Kyzagan Assault Speeder serves as a highly agile heavy weapons platform that is capable of tearing through both armoured vehicles and infantry with ease, while able to provide support to the rest of the Legion’s swift-moving Jetbike squadrons. Such agile vehicles were in high demand among the White Scars, as they added an impressive weight of firepower to the Legion’s Zao and scouting missions. The Kyzagan proved during the Great Crusade and beyond to be a highly versatile vehicle on the battlefield, given its lack of reliance on conventional tracks as with the Legiones Astartes’ heavy armour, allowing it to engage in almost every conflict the White Scars pursued.

Kyzagan Assault Speeder
The White Scars make much use of the various speeders available to the Legiones Astartes, and operate a number of unique variations. The Kyzagan is one such, a Javelin Land Speeder modified to carry a more dedicated package of strike weapons and heavier frontal armour. Though held in disfavour by the adepts of the Mechanicum, who look upon unsanctioned manipulation of STC designs with thinly veiled contempt, the Kyzagan has proven a capable raider and assault vehicle for the mobile White Scars brotherhoods.
A Kyzagan Assault Speeder has one Kheres assault cannon and two Reaper autocannon.Relentless warriors are strong of arm – nothing can slow their implacable advance.
Relentless models can shoot with Heavy or Ordnance weapons, counting as Stationary, even if they moved in the previous Movement phase. They are also allowed to Charge in the same turn they fire Heavy, Ordnance, or Rapid Fire weapons.Made from high grade composite armour plating over an augmenting musculature of electro-fibre bundles, power armour features its own energy systems, sensors and environmental seals. Legiones Astartes power armour is the signature wargear of the Space Marine Legions and subject to an on-going evolution in design stretching back to the Thunder Warriors of the Unification Wars of Old Earth, fused with the wisdom of the Mechanicum of Mars and technological relics recovered over the years of the Great Crusade. At the outset of the Horus Heresy, the most common patterns employed by the Legions are the ‘Crusade’ and ‘Maximus’ types, with the ‘Iron’ pattern favoured for siege and close assault work, although there are considerable customised panoplies and many other Legion-specific sub-patterns in service.
Power armour provides a 3+ Armour Save.Some units make their way to battle via tunnelling, teleportation, flying, or some other extraordinary means which allows them to appear in the thick of the fighting.
A unit made up entirely of models with this special rule may perform a Deep Strike Assault. Certain Faction or unit special rules may present other options for the deployment of units with the Deep Strike special rule.This datasheet has Fast Attack Battlefield Role. Full list of Legiones Astartes units sharing same Battlefield Role follows:
Some troops employ a flexible battle stance, engaging the foe at close quarters one moment, before peeling off to strike with renewed vigour the next.
A unit that contains at least one model with this special rule that is locked in combat can choose to leave close combat at the end of any Assault phase. If the unit wishes to do so, it must take an Initiative test.If the Test is failed, nothing happens and the models remain locked in the fight.
If the Test is passed, choose a direction – then roll 2D6 and add the unit’s Movement Characteristic to the result. As long as the distance rolled, in inches, is sufficient to allow the entire unit to move over 1" away from all of the enemy units they are locked in combat with, the unit breaks away from combat and must immediately move a number of inches in the chosen direction equal to the 2D6 + Movement result, ignoring the models they were locked in combat with. No Sweeping Advance rolls are made. Enemy units that are no longer locked in combat immediately Consolidate a number of inches equal to their Initiative.
A Hit & Run Move is not slowed by Difficult Terrain, but does trigger Dangerous Terrain tests as normal. It may not be used to move into base contact with enemy units, and models instead stop 1" away. If there are units with this rule on both sides who wish to disengage, roll off to determine who goes first and then alternate disengaging them. If the last of these ends up no longer in combat, it Consolidates instead.
Some units make use of their inherent speed, stealth or other capabilities to launch a surprise assault on the foe from an unexpected direction.
A unit made up entirely of models with this special rule may perform a Flanking Assault. Certain Faction or unit special rules may present other options for the deployment of units with the Outflank special rule.Running ahead of the heavy infantry that was the closed fist of the Space Marine Legions, these warriors harry and pursue the enemy. They strike at the foe’s most vulnerable points, depriving them of shelter and succour and leaving them at the mercy of the warriors that follow in their wake.
A unit that includes any models with this special rule may not join or be joined by any model that does not also have this special rule (this includes Legion Techmarines and Legion Apothecaries, which may not be assigned to a unit that includes any models with this special rule). In addition, a unit that includes any models with this special rule never counts as a Scoring unit or a Denial unit regardless of any other special rules or Mission rules in use – however, a model with this special rule may re-roll all failed Shrouded Damage Mitigation rolls.SWIFT OF ACTION
All models with this special rule add +1 to their Movement Characteristic and whenever called upon to make a roll to determine which player will take the First Turn or to Seize the Initiative, the controlling player of an army whose Primary Detachment has this special rule may roll an additional dice and discard the lowest rolled dice before determining the result.
Models with this special rule gain access to unique Wargear options (see Armoury of the White Scars).
Any Legion Centurions, Legion Tartaros Centurions or Legion Cataphractii Centurions with this special rule may not select the Librarian Consul upgrade, but gain access to the Stormseer Consul upgrade instead.
A Warlord with this special rule may select a Warlord Trait from the White Scars Warlord Trait list.
