Fast Attack
- Sydonian Dragoon:Simply one of the best vehicles you can field in Kill Teams. normally you can take these in units up to six, but in Kill Teams you can take at most three and still have enough points to meet the minimal requirements. It just matches the maximum total armour value a single vehicle can be allowed to have; it carries a native 5+ cover save that stacks with night fighting all of which makes it surprisingly resilient for an open-topped vehicle against non-dedicated anti-vehicle weaponry. IT moves with the Crusader USR and the Skitarii-unique Dunestrider which gives it +3" to its movement, runs, and charges. It has a searchlight for what it is worth. Weapons-wise, it starts with a taser lance but that can be swapped out for a Radium Jezzail.
- Taser Lance: For when you want to experience the bliss of drowning your opponent in high-strength attacks. It's special rules means it strikes at double the Dragoon's base initiative on the charge as well as adding +3 to the strength of the attacks instead of the usual +2. So when charging, besides the obligatory Hammer of Wrath hit, you will be seeing 4 strength 8 iniative 6 attacks. Due to the weapon being a taser, any to-hits of 6 add an additional 2 hits. This weapon lacks AP, however, but with high-strength and volume of attacks, you'll usually be waiting for just one failed save.
- Radium Jezzail: An interesting weapon. It's an AP 5 two-shot sniper with the radium special rule which means that a to-wound of 6 is automatically two AP 2 wounds. You can replace the taser lance with this for free. However, with the amount of shooting Skitarii can casually bring, do you really need more?
