Vendetta Gunship & Valkyrie Assault Carrier Help

[nacho cheese]

I recently played against another guardsman and he moved his Vendetta Gunship up to 24" is this for real? I thought they could only go flat out up to 18"

All Fast Skimmers can move 24" at flat-out speed.

Ah I see thank you

You could, of course, have checked his codex :-)

Watch out for these tactics:
- Scout move of 24", thereby claiming a cover save before the game begins
- Outflank, only move 6" with the Vendetta and shoot all three twin-linked lascannons, or move 12" with the Valkyrie and shoot his rocket pots and multi-laser
- Gravchute Insertion: moving flat out and dropping the transported unit (using the Deep Strike rules) on the way

Ah, yes, the IG's flying cheese machines... Says the guy who fields eight scoring chimmies at 1750, LOL.
