Some Squats opt not to ride to battle on bikes, but instead on specially made powerboards.  Powerboards look like thin pointed platforms made of metal with an anti-grav harness and twin thrust engines on their bottom.

Weapons: The 'Boarders are armed with a laspistol and close combat weapon.  The Leader is armed with a laspistol, close combat weapon, and comm-link.

Up to two Troopers may be armed with a plasma gun at +6 points or a meltagun at +8 points.

The Leader is allowed to have equipment from the Armoury.

SPECIAL RULES

Powerboards:  Powerboards act in game terms just as jump packs.  See the jump pack rules in the Warhammer 40,000 3rd Edition rulebook.
