The Higgins Boat of 40k (or a smaller and more advanced version of the [[Gorgon Armored Assault Transport]], either/or), the Dunerider works exactly the same as the WWII Landing Craft that inspired it: hit the <s>beach</s> battlefield, suppress enemies with the many stubbers mounted on it, and then drop the front ramp and have the Skitarii within re-enact the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan. 

The Dunerider has four [[Heavy Stubber|Cognis heavy stubbers]] that offer a high rate of covering fire which would probably help the troops to survive ten seconds after disembarking. An additional turret-mounted pair of cognis heavy stubbers rises is mounted on a rear cupola, its Servitor gunner protected from return fire by an armored shield mounted between the barrels.

Ironically, it's arguably the most conventional vehicle design in the entire Mechanicus motor pool (they apparently don't use Chimeras, Rhinos, or Land Raiders anymore), to the point where the one thing about it that ''doesn't'' make sense is why the Imperial Guard aren't allowed to use it, seeing as how the technology behind [[Sentinel]]s and Plasma Guns is more complex than a Skorpius Dunerider. According to the Regimental Standard, their use of "primitive hover-tech" is to be understood as a proof of the AdMech's charity in "saving more solid wheels and treads for the Astra Militarum".

On tabletop, the Dunerider has 12 wounds, Strength and Toughness of 6, and a degrading statline (movement 12” at bracket one, 9” at two and 6” at three. Base BS of 3+ going up 4+ and 5+, and you have 3, D3 and 1 attack. base WS of 6+ as with any vehicle). It has Ld8 and a 3+, which makes it decent as far as troop transports go. It has two Cognis Heavy Stubbers, one twin Cognis Heavy Stubber, and a Broad-Spectrum Data Tether. It’s special rule, Hover Platform means that you suffer no penalties for moving and firing heavy weapons, unless you advanced.
