Some new vehicles that have appeared in my games.

Bulldog Mk-14 Jetbike
A military jetbike usually found in Imperial Guard scout units. The bike is fast and manoeuvrable but also temperamental and difficult to maintain, meaning it is only used in limited numbers.

Handling modifier:   -10
Armaments:   Fixed forward-mounted twin-linked lasguns
Crew:      1
Passengers:   0
Access points:   Open-topped, can be boarded and disembarked from any point

Peregrine Mk-5 Landspeeder
A smaller cousin to the Adeptus Astartes Landspeeder, the Peregrine is issued to Imperial Guard units for scouting and fast-attack missions. The Peregrine usually mounts an missile launcher under the nose and a passenger-crewed heavy bolter.
Type:      Hover vehicle
Size:         Hulking
Armour:      Front 18, Hull 15

Civilian skycar
A typical hover-vehicle owned by the well-to-do on many Imperial, Hive and Forge worlds. The skycar is a blocky, robust vehicle but many sports models exist which exhibit a sleeker, more dashing exterior.
Type:      Hover vehicle
Size:         Hulking
Armour:      Hull 14, Rear 12
Traits:      Open, Anti-grav
Narrative speed:   60 kmph/ 120 kmph

Access points:   Open-topped, can be boarded and disembarked from any point

‘Stalker’ Transport Walker
Stalkers are large 4-legged relatives of the Sentinel. They are found on numerous worlds, for example they see heavy use on Guytoga in the sprawling megalopolis of Salt City where they are favoured for their ability to pick their way through the narrow streets.
Many stalkers are owned by civilians and some can be decked out in sumptuous wood panelling and with silk awnings hanging over the passenger compartment.

Type: Walker
Size: Enormous
Armour: Front 12, Legs 10
Traits: All Terrain, Open
Narrative speed: 20 kmph/ 40 kmph
Combat speed: 5/12/25/35/50
Handling modifier: 0
Armaments: None
Crew: 1
Passengers: 10
Access points: Open-topped, can be boarded and disembarked from any point
Special: While the rear passenger compartment is open-topped, the driver sits in a forward cabin which is totally enclosed.

avatar Is the star wars theme song supposed to go through my head as I read this, or am I just crazy?

avatar Haha, well I suppose there are a few likenesses! But GW did it first! The Bulldog is an old Rogue Trader vehicle, and the Stalker is a personal adaptation of the Sentinel, which itself is a GW-knock-off of an AT-ST!

avatar This is cool, but if you read the 40k stuff it is stated that the imperium can't make a jetbike anymore. The only one in the entire imperial arsenal belongs to Sammael.

avatar Depends on what sources you read. Personally I like the idea of jetbikes, so I use them (although rarely) in my games. If you don't like them, don't use them; it's as simple as that.
