A warrior of the White Scars Golden Keshig armed with a Kontos Power Lance and riding a Shamshir Jetbike.
The Shamshir Jetbike was an anti-gravitic Imperial Jetbike used during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy eras by the ancient White Scars Legion's heavy assault Jetbike squads known as the Golden Keshig.
History[]
The Shamshir was a rare variant of the Scimitar Jetbike employed by the White Scars Legion for its increased speed and manoeuvrabilty.
Production of this variant Jetbike was limited to small Mechanicum enclaves established in the Kolame Circle and maintained by ancient treaty with the White Scars and their enigmatic Primarch Jaghatai Khan.
Instead of a Heavy Bolter, the Shamshir Jetbike is armed with a Scatterbolt Launcher that allows it to unleash a hail of multiple bolts from different directions.
