==History==
Land Speeders are based on [[STC]] data recovered in [[M31]] by the famous [[Tech-priest#Magos|Techno-archaeologist]] [[Arkhan Land]], and afterwards became widely produced and used throughout the [[Imperium]]. Land Speeders were also originally used by the [[Imperial Guard]], but since then the plasma and anti-gravity technologies required to produce them have become increasingly rare and hard to maintain.{{Fn|1a}} Only extremely resource rich planets like [[Ryza]]{{cite thisCite Marker End}} or organisations such as the Space Marines can afford to create them. There are 50 plus Land Speeders in a typical Chapter.{{Fn|1a}}
==Design==
The exact origins of the Land Speeder Storm is unknown; it sees extensive use by the [[Ultramarines]] and [[Raven Guard]], along with their successors, and so is thought to be one of their inventions. Conversely, the Storm is all but unheard of within the armouries of the [[Space Wolves]] and [[Blood Angels]].{{Fn|3}}
