Skorpius Dunerider
The Skorpius Dunerider is an Adeptus Mechanicus armoured troop transport, that uses barely understood, deadly technology from the Age of Darkness.[1]
Acting as a personnel-carrying hovercraft for Skitarii cohorts, Duneriders are calibrated for swift delivery of front-line assets into the heart of battle. They sweep upon enemy defenses or into designated fire points, slamming down their ramps and letting loose the warriors riding within. Upon delivering their cargo, Duneriders give supporting fire with their Cognis Heavy Stubbers,[3] operated by a hard wired servitor gunner. They can carry 12 Skitarii.[5]
The Skorpius Dunerider is held afloat on a cushion of repulsor energy,[4] assisted by a cushion of hyper-pressurised, atomised gas, creating a chemical fume that obscures advances.[5]
