The '''Hippogriff AFV (Hippogriff Armoured Fighting Vehicle)''' is a six-wheeled [[Astra Militarum]] vehicle, that provides long distance fire support.{{Fn|1}}
It has ample firepower, as the Hippogriff's turret can be mounted with a [[Battle Cannon]], [[Castigator Gatling Cannon]], [[Melta Cannon]] or a [[Lascannon]]. The vehicle's six wheels are also mounted on independent servo-axles, which provides it a good balance of speed and stability. The Hippogriff will often be the heaviest fire support that an [[Astra Militarum]] [[Imperial Guard Scout|scouting]] [[platoon]] can expect to receive as well. However stories abound of how Hippogriff squadrons were able to hold off much more advanced foes, until [[Imperial]] armored reinforcements arrived.{{Fn|1}}
