Agamatus Jetbike Squadron
Agamatus Jetbike Squadrons were a type of Adeptus Custodes fast-attack unit during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy.[1]
Description
Equipped with Gyrfalcon Pattern Jetbikes, these squadrons served as rapid response and suppression unit in the field. In this they operate much in the manner of the elite cavalry forces of ancient times, screening the main Custodes force from potential encirclement, reacting quickly to blunt enemy attacks, and hunting down mercilessly any foe which breaks and flees before the might of the Legio Custodes, ensuring the utter extermination of the enemy.[1]
Agamatus Squadrons were equipped with a Solarite Power Lance, a bike-mounted Adrathic Devastator, Lastrum Bolt Cannon, or Corve Las-Pulser.[1]
Gyrfalcon Pattern Jetbike
More powerful even than the Scimitar Pattern associated with the Legiones Astartes, the Gyrfalcon is a heavy design akin more to an armoured one-man speeder than a true jetbike. In addition, it augments its grav-repellor systems with a plasma-thrust motor for huge temporary bursts of speed.[1]
