Editing Sky Hunter Squad (section)

==Overview==
Mounted on [[Imperial Jetbike]]s, Sky Hunters were feared reconnaissance and first-strike units, boasting considerable firepower on their mounts in addition to their superb speed and manoeuvring capabilities. The jetbike patterns in service with the Sky Hunters, including the Scimitar, Bullock, and Estoc patterns, were typically modifications of designs which considerably predated the Imperium. Though they were powerful and highly sought-after force multipliers, they were also maintenance-intensive and required rare materials and technology to be built. Thus, the demand for jetbikes always outstripped supply and only a few of the Legiones Astartes could field them in great numbers, most notably the speed demons of the [[White Scars|V Legion]]. In the aftermath of the Horus Heresy, the Imperium's infrastructure and knowledge base was so fragmented that the materials and technology needed to build jetbikes either became too precious to use or were gradually lost over the centuries, along with the knowledge of how to maintain them. This spelled the end of the Sky Hunters.

Sky Hunters typically operated in squadrons of three, each led by a sergeant. Their jetbikes, mainly Scimitar and Bullock pattern, sported a mixture of [[Heavy Bolter]]s, [[Multi-Melta]]s, [[Volkite Culverin]]s, and [[Plasma Cannon]]s.
