FAST ATTACK

Some squads are trained as bike squads to allow greater mobility for recon and flank attacks. This has also helped to make the Blitzkrieg tactics of the Imperial Guard more effective.

Squad: A squad consists of 1 Sergeant and 4 Troopers.

Weapons: Each bike is fitted with twin-linlked bolters.  Each SOC biker is armed with a hellpistol and close combat weapon.

Options: Up to two Troopers in the squad may be armed with one of the following weapons: flamer at +3 points; meltagun at +10 points; plasma gun at +6 points; LAW at +5 points.  Note that the LAW does not replace any of the Trooper's weapons.

Fast Attack Vehicles (FAVs) are very light four wheel drive scout cars (little more than dune buggies).  They are used by the SOC to flank their opponents and attack them from their sides or rear.

Weapons: The FAV is armed with one of the following weapon packages:

• Twin-linked heavy bolters and grenade launcher: +35 points
• Missile launcher and twin-linked bolters: +25 points

Options: A FAV may be given upgrades from the Vehicle Upgrades in the SOC Armoury.
