			Being the 'biker' units of the Genestealer Cults, the Atalan Jackals have a movement of 14" and can be setup “Underground” during deployment which makes them ridiculously mobile in an already mobile army. They are also surprisingly sturdy and tough for a 'fast-attack unit', as they have the toughness of 4 with 2 wounds each (oh and the Wolfquad has 4 wounds). And just to increase that survivability a little bit more they also have Skilled Outriders ability, which subtract 1 from hit rolls for attacks that target this unit in the Shooting Phase. Also they make good tank/superheavy hunters. Give them demolition charges take them as a rusted claw cult and for merely 4CP you can place them in 3" of your target (LYING IN WAIT), throw all their charges with EXTRA EXPLOSIVES, and improve your chances with DRIVE-BY DEMOLITIONS, then flee 14". Even with 4 bikers this is 4d6 shots (8S -3AP d6D) that hit on 3+ and wound on 3+/2+ depending on the target.

	~~Odds are that it's another STC template, which means every~~ planet ~~that's not~~ a Feral World ~~has some~~ of ~~the things~~ lying around for use. Or maybe, ''just maybe,'' it could be that the Atalan brand is the Toyota of 40k with the Genestealer Cults being the equivalent of every single Muslim terrorist organization. Don't ask us why groups like al-Qaeda and ISIS love Toyota vehicles just as much as the Genestealers with their Atalans, your guess is as good as mine.

	~~Following the Codex release, turns out it's just another STC template~~.
