How exactly can you say something's fast in a fast army? They aren't exactly faster then the rest, but here we go.
Attack Bike Squadron -
Attack bikes available in squads of 1-3. Comes stock with a heavy bolter which may be upgraded to a Multi Melta. A very cheap, easy access melta unit.
Space marine Bike Squadron -
Marines on bikes, pretty straight forward. Not too much of a difference from the others here. Can purchase two special weapons, and add an attack bike to the squad. Usually ignored in light of the other fast attack choices, though.
Scout Bike Squadron -
See above, only replacing marines with scouts and removing special weapons and attack bikes. Kinda lame.
Land Speeder Squadron -
They're incredibly sweet for other Space marine codices due to their speed. In an army where speed is in an overabundance they're nice, but they lose a lot of their wow factor - giving up durability to be just as fast as everything else for the most part. A cheap source of Typhoon missile launchers in most cases where they find themselves included.
Baal Predator -
The Baal pattern Predator is fast, it scouts and has some rather intimidating anti infantry firepower at it's disposal. Not too much else to say about it, generic Predator chassis and the aforementioned weapon load outs from the introduction post. One of the more prominent fast attack choices for the army - the ability to take more AV 13 front vehicles that don't interfere with Heavy Support choices in the chart.
Vanguard Veterans -
Assault marines with Veteran stats, some more unique equipment load out options and they're cheaper then their vanilla cousins. Let's not forget Descent of Angels and what it means for these bad boys. The whole point of them is to come in from reserve and assault something... The special rules available in our codex helps them do just that, but better. Another prominent choice in the slot.
Another Force Org slot finished, last of the slots but usually the most desired are the Heavy support! Again, any input would be fantastic. Thanks for reading.
