==Overview== Although resembling more like a [[Derp|street cleaner]], this vehicle is a form of a [[Jetbike]] in a tricycle format. Judging from its name, it seems that the bikes utilize magnetic coils to generate electromagnetic lift, akin to real-world MagLev trains that use magnetism to hover in place. So rather than actually generating true anti-gravity, the Magna-Coil Bike uses electromagnetic repulsion as its form of transport. The bike itself is pretty big and heavily armed. Either carrying an [[Ion Beamer]], or a [[HYLas Rotary Cannon]] as its primary weapons whilst having a [[Magna-Coil Autocannon]] as its standard-issue secondary weapon. By functionality, it resembles more like a [[Harlequin]] [[Voidweaver]] than an actual Jetbike due to its heavy armaments. A ''Heavy Jetbike'' per se. The bike is ridden by either a single Hernkyn Pioneer or with an added gunner. These guys serve as scouts for their forces in the League; they are rugged survivalists who set out in small, self-reliant bands to adventure and prospect on behalf of their Kin. Hernkyn leave their Kindred for decades at a time, forging out into the dark spaces beyond. In many galactic cultures, such explorers are seen as shameful or rebellious, but for the Leagues of Votann it brings a high honour (Not to mention, [[Looted|loot]]). This is because they serve a great purpose to the [[Votann]], for their discoveries and insights ensure that when the Hernkyn finally returns to their Ancestor Core upon death, it will be benefited with new enriching data and knowledge. Besides this role, the Hernkyn also locate potential trading partners for their Kindreds, mark navigable void-channels, scout viable regions for settlements, and most importantly of all locate new resources to be exploited. To achieve all this, however, the Hernkyn has to make great personal sacrifices. It is not easy for the family-focused clones to spend such extended periods of times away from their Hold, and the ever-present danger that they may never return to their Ancestor Core. That such souls are still willing to undertake these scouting expedition is yet another reason they are held in high regard in Kin society. To that end, they are equipped with the finest scout ships manned by the finest Voidmasters. They also make use of Pan Spectral Scanners to mark out natural resources the Kin would prize, using powerful claim-beacons to alert the Cthonian Mining Guilds to their presence. In battle, Hernkyn serve as the armoured cavalry of Votann forces. They are extremely sturdy, highly mobile, and pack a tremendous amount of firepower. Hernkyn Pioneers are equipped with plenty of intelligence-gathering and scanner equipment, allowing them to serve as effective scouts as well. Wearing lighter variants of [[Void Power Armour]] than the rest of their kin, they are true frontiersmen. Hearnkyn Pioneers themselves - like their bikes - are heavily armed; carrying [[Autoch Pattern Bolt Pistol]]s, [[Bolt Revolver]]s and [[Bolt Shotgun]]s.
