Editing Void riders (section)

==Combat Doctrine==
The Void Riders specialize in rapid deployment assaults, aiming to move as quickly as possible into close range, and then murder everything and everyone that [[Void riders#Significant Engagements|isn't clearly labeled as a friendly with whatever they have at their disposal]]. This [[Chaotic Stupid|"tactic"]] primarily means two things; 1) their primary forces are bike squads, jump pack squads, or crusade squads, and 2) they forgo the use of heavy weapons and tanks. That is not to say that they forgo the use of heavier units all together though; a few centurions or a dreadnaught kitted out properly, crammed into a drop pod and thrown into the centre of an enemy strong point is one of their favourite methods of attack. Keeping with their zealous combat preferences, as well as the fanatical beliefs of their inquisitorial overlords, the Void Riders also make excessive use of flame weapons of all types. 

A rarity on the battlefield for most factions, Librarians and psykers are even less common among the ranks of the Void Riders. This isn't due to some distrust of them, nor is it due to their scorning of magical abilities as a cowards weapon. It is only due to the fact that it takes a very long time for a psyker to truly master his power, and it can take many life times for a space marine Librarian to effectively use his. While the Void Riders have, at times, used Librarians in battle, because of the fact most of them don't live as an Astartes for more than a century, none of them have ever become that powerful or remarkable, and are seen as little more than a particularly volatile close combat unit, that may or may not explode in warpflame, taking everything nearby down with it. 

The few times they field dreadnoughts in combat, the almost exclusively use Ironclad patterns, kitted out for close combat, and laden with heavy explosives so that when it inevitably goes down, it will not be captured by the enemy. 

This effect can actually be achieved IRL on the table top with a clever "counts as" rule; when your ironclad goes down, yell '''BOOM!!!11!1!!''' as loud as possible, throw your die at your opponents face and flip the fucking table.
