A Land Speeder is a light armoured vehicle powered with anti-gravitic
motors that enable it to fly at low altitudes. It has a crew of two,
a pilot and a gunner. The gunner fires a pintel mounted heavy weapon,
usually a heavy bolter. A Chapter's Assault Marines and the entire 7th
Reserve Company are trained to fight as Land Speeder Squadrons. This
includes crewing the more heavily armed variants such as the Land Speeder
Tornado and Typhoon.
Tactical markings
|
The Marine crews for these war machines retain their normal squad markings.
Sergeants do not display back banners whilst crewing Land Speeders.
The Land Speeder will display Chapter, Squad and tactical markings.
Land Speeders are renowned for their speed and mobility on the battlefield.
They have many uses to the Space Marine Commander. A Land Speeder can
quickly outflank enemy positions and use heavy bolter fire to destroy
enemy infantry. When armed with the multi-melta the Land Speeder becomes
a tank hunter. The up-armed variants offer even more options and firepower.
