The Raider is a fast skimmer that is the the primary [[Dark Eldar]] troop transport. It also looks like a mini flying [[China|Chinese Junk]] with more spiky bits thrown in. Like most DE vehicles, a Raider has the armor consistency of wet cardboard so [[Meme|you gotta go fast.]] Lightweight and extremely maneuverable, the Raider epitomizes the Dark Eldar's doctrine of speed over durability. 
==Overview==

Unlike the lumbering vehicles of the human [[Imperium]], a Raider does not carry its passengers within heavily armored shells. Instead, these skimmers are twisted imitations of the gliding, anti-gravity pleasure yachts once common on the homeworlds of the ancient Eldar empire, modified to enhance their speed and fitted with blade-sharp fins and jagged keels to slice apart any foes. Whether you are facing melee units or a shooty army from hell, the Raider ensures that you can swiftly deliver your army's power to critical points on the battlefield. Unfortunately the light, open-topped construction of these vehicles means that they can get quickly shanked by enemy firepower if they are not properly deployed. 

The primary motive power for a Raider comes from its compact, air-breathing jet turbine engines. The transport is held aloft by anti-gravity emitters built into the vehicle's ventral ribbing. This technology allows a Raider to skim even the most rugged terrain at an extraordinarily rapid speed. All Raiders are adorned with the [[Grimdark|severed body parts of past victims]] which further enhances the aesthetic of a vehicle that is being used by merciless raiders. All Raiders have certain basic features and weaponry in common, including a repulsor keelblade manned by a talented steersman, Aethersails to harness the multidimensional shear energies that flow from the Webway portal from which they emerge, and a prow-mounted heavy weapon, usually either a Dark Lance or Disintegrator. The curved hull of every Raider possess sweeping fairings and its metal deck is pierced through with tessellating designs intended to lessen the skimmer's weight and increase its speed. Secondary armaments include Sickle-blades, Electroshock Rams and Splinter Rifle racks.

The Raider has a passenger capacity of 10 warriors. Once the foe has been vanquished, [[Grimdark|enemy survivors are lashed, chained, or simply impaled (still living) upon the Raider's trophy hooks.]]
