Editing Dawneagle Jetbike (section)

== Vertus Praetor ==

Vertus Praetors are the shiny, fast moving Jetbikers of the Adeptus Custodes in the 41st Millennium. Eat your heart out [[Sammael]]! They ride Dawneagle-pattern jetbikes, as opposed to the Gyrfalcon jetbikes of the Agamatus squadrons back during the Heresy. 

Vertus Praetors are members of the Adeptus Custodes and mirror the heavy cavalry employed by Human armies since the very dawn of time. In battle they range ahead of the main body of the Custodes' force and devastate their foes with crushing lance charges with their [[Power weapon#Interceptor Lance|Interceptor Lances.]]

Each biker is equipped with an Interceptor Lance (with the same stats are the traditional Guardian Spear but with the ability to re-roll wounds on the charge) and either a [[Hurricane Bolter]] or a [[Salvo Launcher]]. The Salvo Launcher serves as a much needed source of anti-armor firepower. The weapon itself has two firing modes; a tank bursting Melta Missile (24" Heavy 1 S8 AP-4 D6 with the ability to re-roll wounds against vehicles) and an anti-air Flakkburst missile. (Note: for a 1 CP stratagem, if an entire unit of Praetors fires flakkburst missiles at a unit with the {{W40Kkeyword|FLY}} keyword you get to reroll all failed wounds for those attacks. Good shit.) Although these are highly powerful weapons, they aren't as exotic as the [[Lastrum Bolt Cannon]], [[Adrathic Devastator]]s and [[Corvae Las-Pulser]]s of the Gyrfalcon jetbikes, possibly insinuating that even the Custodes have been effected by the technological decline in the Imperium.
