Editing Venom (section)

== On the Tabletop ==

Despite its small size, the Venom can carry a small squad of up to 6 hand-picked elite warriors who have been trained to enter combat as a coordinated unit. The Venom is armed with a Twin-linked [[Splinter Rifle]], [[Splinter Cannon]] and Holographic Flickerfield. The twin [[Splinter Rifle]] can be replaced with a second [[Splinter Cannon]], and the vehicle can also be equipped with Chain Snares and/or Grisly Trophies. Unlike the vehicles of most other races, the Venom is actually semi-competent in melee. It also counts as a Dedicated Transport, which means that it makes a nice companion and/or alternative to the [[Raider]], while also not using up valuable detachment slots. Being Open-Topped, any embarked models can still shoot normally.

=== 8th/9th Edition ===

The Venom was brutally nerfed following the 6th and 7th edition changes to defensive weapons, open-topped vehicles, and assault vehicles. However, since then it has regained some of its stature as a fast, cheap harasser with good firepower, and it remains a very important element for the deployment of small, elite units. If you need to push a scattering of defenders off a distant objective, then the Venom is your vehicle. Just keep in mind that even with the Flickerfield, one round of good shooting from a squad of slack-jawed [[Imperial Guard|Guardsmen]] can potentially wreck this vehicle's day- so don't get shot at.
