Deathwatch Veteran Biker

A Deathwatch Veteran Biker, usually part of a Deathwatch Veteran Bike Squad, is a Firstborn or Primaris Deathwatch Veteran who is skilled at riding an Adeptus Astartes Assault Bike or Raider Pattern Combat Bike.

Matching their speed, strength and firepower against the swiftest xenos, Veteran Bikers are expert hunters. Undertaking extended missions in dangerous territory, they assess their enemy's every weakness, close off escape routes and use their velocity to enact sudden strikes from unexpected angles.

DeathwatchVeteranBikeSquadMinis — A Deathwatch Veteran Bike Squad

Where a Vanguard Veteran represents the pinpoint application of close combat force, the Deathwatch Veteran Biker is a nigh-unstoppable battering ram. A Veteran battle-brother at full sprint can break limbs with the weight of his charge, but one hurtling upon the dense tonnage of a Space Marine Assault Bike can plough through an entire battle line, guns blazing and chainsword juddering until dozens lie slain in his wake.

The Veteran Bikers of the Deathwatch are excellent shock troopers, especially when several ride to war side-by-side. When the order for the final charge comes, theirs is a blunt and unsubtle duty -- to smash aside the alien's defences so that the xenos army's throat is exposed for a killing strike. As with many elements of their alien-hunting brotherhood, however, the Deathwatch Veteran Bikers' role is multifaceted.
