Weapons: Splinter rifle

Squad upgrades:
|
Up to two models can have their splinter rifle
can be upgrade to blaster for 5 points or shredder for 10 points.
|
|
One model can be upgraded to a succubus at
a cost of 16 points.
|
|
All models in the squad can be equipped with
Reaver flails at a cost of 5 points per model.
|
|
|
Reaver flails:
|
These are spiked or hooked chains that can
be added to all Reaver jetbikes at 5 points per model. The flails are
considered as a second weapon in close combat and add +1 Attack. The
flails also allow the reaver jetbike to make a "Drive-by" attack during
the movement phase instead of shooting in the shooting phase. The
"Drive-by" attack is S4 and is made by passing within 1" of an enemy model.
It is resolved by rolling to hit using the BS of the Reaver jetbike.
Normal armor saves are allowed. Any unit which takes casualties from
a "Drive-by" attack must make a pinning check.

Description:
|
Striker jetbikes are slower, heavier versions
of the Reaver Jetbike that are equipped with heavy weaponry to act in a
fire support role. Striker jetbikes lack both the turbo-boost capabilities
and increased strength of Reaver jetbikes, however they can be equipped
with a variety of heavy weapons. Striker jetbikes are not designed for close
combat therefore their riders do not use combat drugs.
