	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.

	In addition to a trio of cognis heavy stubbers, it packs a prow-mounted [[Disruptor Missile Launcher]] and either a [[Ferrumite Cannon]], think auto cannon on steroids, or a [[Belleros Energy Cannon]], aka a [[What\|<strike>Laser</strike> Plasma Mortar.]]		In addition to a trio of cognis heavy stubbers, it packs a prow-mounted [[Disruptor Missile Launcher]] and either a [[Ferrumite Cannon]], think auto cannon on steroids, or a [[Belleros Energy Cannon]], aka a [[What\|<strike>Laser</strike> Plasma Mortar.]]

	On tabletop, the Disintegrator comes baseline with 3 Cognis heavy stubbers and a prow-mounted disruptor missile launcher that packs a highly explosive wallop: 36” Heavy d6 S7 AP-2 Dd3. Random attack numbers and damage make it unpredictable but it is a decent weapon nonetheless. It also comes with a broad spectrum data-tether and canticles, as well as ignoring heavy weapon rules unless it advances.

	In terms of armor and survivability, it has the exact same stats as the Skorpius Dunerider, except for an additional point of toughness (T7). Probably the most critical difference when deciding between this and the Dunecrawler, is the invun save, or rather lack thereof on the Disintegrator. So in summary, the Disintegrator has better firepower for the cost than the Dunecrawler but is less durable, which in the current anti-knight global meta (Your local meta may vary), means it can be shot off the board dishearteningly fast.
