Now, what kind of support are we looking at? Are we able to drop in speeders with us? Or will it just be us our wits, and the Emperor's will?

[Alexandria]

For stealth better to just be us, maybe jetpacks if thats possible to increase mobility.

Vehicles could be useful if we use the right kind.
Unless you want to take the 1 seater fast assault bikes, they're light enough to drop in with us and to move easily, fast enough to out run just about anything on the ground, have reasonably good fire power and they're not overly difficult to hide.
Though we could drop in say 4 of them and 1 land speeder tempest to bring us some bigger firepower.

They could have some potential.
Assuming it's possible to be a drop squad and have the required skills to use those bikes and speeder.



What should our common name be? We have the regiment name but either the regiment or just our squad should have a different less cumbersome name.
Personally given what we're building ourselves to be I'd say something like HellRaisers, or something similar. Since we're designing to be a regiment that just appears out of nowhere like daemons from the warp, wreaks complete havoc on our enemy then vanishes again before they can amass the forces to counter us.

The Void Riders. We ride in on our stealthed ships, accomplish our goal, and vanish back into the void before the enemy can respond.

[Alexandria]

Do we have a stealth ship? Is it big enough for us to carry bikes and a speeder? I'm warming to the idea of using 4 bikes and a speeder to give us high mobility so we can hit and run or bug out if it gets messy.

Void sounds good but riders I don't think really fits, it's to similar to rough riders for a drop trooper team.

[Remuthra]

I don't think our ship starts out as anything more than a Navy Valkyrie Armored Carrier, but in theory we will want a stealthed ship. I like the idea of bikes as well, although often we should be able to drop near our location. If not Riders, what about the Void Jumpers? It fits the drop theme better.

[Alexandria]

Hmmm, yeah especially if we're jumping from just inside the atmosphere.

Well some jobs will be best suited to pure sneaking, others will require you to have speed, sneaking we could use the jet packs for mobility and the rest of the time we bring in the bikes and speeder.
Or we have them dropped in to us during the mission once it's time to evac or we need to move fast.

Emperor's Ghosts
And I was thinking a jeep like vehicle for all six of us, with storage rooms for equipment and other people. Mounting a multilas? Or MultiMelta?
Maybe one per squad? But that may be pushing it.

[Alexandria]

It'd be slow and very bulky though, we're built for speed, mobility and stealth so the bikes and speeders are ideal, since they're fast as hell and pretty agile as well and they aren't to bad in stealth since they don't make a massive amount of noise.

[Remuthra]

Speaking of, I'm going to suggest the Multi-Melta for our favored heavy weapon.

EDIT: Nevermind.

[Alexandria]

Multi-Melta would make a good squad heavy weapon. It's just big to use on a speed based vehicle, they aren't stable enough for it.

[Remuthra]

We might be able to fit a missile system on the speeder.

[Elfeater]

Ah, I was just wondering, but a jeep with a 37mm cannon was used in WW2, so there would be no reason we couldnt use a heavyish weapon in the 40K universe imo.

[Alexandria]

Oh no need, thats why I specified the tempest model land speeder. It already has a missile launcher. Though I'm not entirely sure IG has access to it.

That jeep was also pretty bulky though, bulky is bad for us.

[Remuthra]

What kind of armaments do the bikes carry?

[Elfeater]

Maybe it depends on the missions, for a long range extraction mission, using a jeep might be better.
A quick get in hit them hard, get out, bike.
