Escher Cutter
It seems that it is not only the Orks who thought it was a good idea to strap a jet engine on a seat and call it a day. The madlass of House Escher has decided to create their own jetbike, a literal jetbike. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Escher Cutter.
Overview
The Escher Cutter was originally designed by House Escher to have a fast and simple transport to traverse the harsh desert roads of Necromunda without getting murderised by the fuckery going on there. The jetbike also uses pieces of anti-grav tech to further support its movement, which of course begs the question on why anti-grav tech was considered 'rare' in the first place? I mean yeah, we get it, it's Necromunda filled with a butt load of STCs, but still. Usually, such as in the Ciaphas Cain books, Geedubs has the excuse of civilian grade anti-grav being rare but common enough for the rich of the Imperium while the issue is military grade STCs are far harder to produce. But here it begs the question of if the Eschers can make a serviceable combat jetbike in their garage...well why the fuck doesn't the Guard get them? It's not like they care for the casualties of them being unreliable in a combat environment?
Nevertheless, other than that, each Cutter is armed with a choice of twin-linked Grenade Launchers, Plasma Guns, or Heavy Stubbers. They are also armed with an underslung gas trap launcher which is the 41st Millennium’s equivalent of a stink bomb. As you can tell, it is Escher's answer to House Goliath's Goliath Mauler.
Rules
On Necromunda tabletop, the jetbike is obviously quite fast, granting them a Movement of 9″ and the ability to soar over buildings and rivals. Since they are on a jetbike, they don’t count as vehicles but instead, is granted the Mounted condition. That means they’re personal equipment, and can be handed to Queens, Matriarchs, Prospects, or even Death Maidens. All in all, a nifty scout unit that still packs a wallop of a punch. Not too bad.
