Hellion Skyboard
Hellion Skyboards are fast moving Dark Eldar platforms from which Hellions attack.[4]
Overview
The most noticeable equipment used by Hellions, these single-pilot anti-gravity platforms are highly prized by the Hellions as a sign of independence[4], though they are seen as less prestigious than a Reaver Jetbike.[5] Nonetheless Hellions highly personalize their skyboards with trophies and glyphs, though in truth most have changed hands several times in brutal gang brawls. Often they will be bedecked with the severed heads of several previous owners. Skyboards are known for the sensitivity of their controls, and the slightest adjustment to the controls will allow the user to make astonishing bursts of speed or acts of maneuverability. For weaponry, Skyboards are often equipped with Splinter Pods.[4]
Covered in spikes and barbs to slice enemies as they pass by, the pilots often also use hooked chains to keep themselves from falling when moving.[1] Skyboards are also used by Beastmasters as well as Baron Sathonyx.[2]
