Sky-Hunters were specialized Jetbikes formations used during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy.[1]
Description
Sky Hunters were feared strike units boasting considerable firepower on their mounts in addition to their superb speed and manoeuvring capabilities.[1]
Sky-Hunters themselves typically operated in squadrons of three, each led by a Space Marine Sergeant. Their Jetbikes, often Scimitar and Bullock pattern craft, sported a mixture of heavy bolters, multi-meltas, volkite culverins, and plasma cannons.[1]
