Agamatus Jetbike Squad

An Agamatus Jetbike Squadron were the airborne formations of the ancient Legio Custodes, who utilised the power Gyrfalcon Pattern Jetbike as a rapid response and elite cavalry force during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy during the 30th and 31st Millennia. It is unknown if these squadrons are still deployed by the Adeptus Custodes of the 41st Millennium.

History
The Agamatus Squadrons were active during the great Crusade and Horus Heresy eras and specialised in the use of the heavy duty, plasma motor-boosted Gyrfalcon Pattern Jetbike as their steeds in battle. The increased power of the design supported not only the heavily armoured Custodian Guard, but also allowed it to mount a powerful Iliastus Pattern Bolt Cannon as its on-board armament. The Agamatus Squadrons exploited these war machines to operate both as a rapid response and suppression unit in the field. In this they operated much in the manner of the elite cavalry forces of ancient times, screening the main Legio Custodes force from potential encirclement, reacting quickly to blunt enemy attacks, and hunting down mercilessly any foe which broke and fled before the might of the Custodes, ensuring the utter extermination of the enemy.

Dedicated Transport
More powerful even than the Scimitar pattern associated with the Legiones Astartes, the Gyrfalcon is a heavy design akin more to an armoured one-man speeder than a true jetbike. In addition, it augments its grav-repellor systems with a plasma-thrust motor for huge temporary bursts of speed. A Gyrfalcon Jetbike is armed with a Iliastus Bolt Cannon.
