A Saim-Hann army also has the following additional HQ choice:
Wild Rider Chief
| Points/Model | WS | BS | S | T | W | I | A | Ld | Sv | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wild Rider Chief | 65 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 3(4) | 2 | 5 | 3 | 10 | 3+ |
Wargear: The Chief rides an Eldar jetbike armed with twin-linked shuriken catapults. He is armed with a close combat weapon.
Options: The shuriken catapults may be upgraded to a single shuriken cannon for +25 pts.
The Chief may exchange his close combat weapon for a power weapon at +12 pts.
Retainers: The Chief may be joined by a squadron of Kinsmen chosen from the entry below.
Special Rules
Chief of the Wild Riders: The Wild Rider Chief will never fall back under any circumstances and cannot be pinned. This ability is conferred to any unit led by the Chief.
Independent Character: Unless accompanied by his Kinsmen, a Wild Rider Chief is an Independent Character. He may only join Guardian jetbike squads.
Wild Rider Kinsmen
| Points/Model | WS | BS | S | T | W | I | A | Ld | Sv | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kinsmen | 40 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3(4) | 1 | 5 | 2 | 9 | 3+ |
Squadron: The squad consists of between 5 and 10 Kinsmen. The Wild Rider Chief and his Kinsmen form a single unit and take up one HQ choice from the force organisation chart.
Type: Eldar jetbike.
Weapons: The jetbikes are armed with twin-linked shuriken catapults. The riders are each armed with a close combat weapon.
Options: Up to half the Kinsmen (rounding down) may replace their shuriken catapults with a single shuriken cannon at +20 pts per model.
One Kinsman may carry the Family Banner for +35 pts. While the model with the Family Banner is still on the table, the Chief and his Kinsmen may re-roll any missed close combat attacks on the same turn that they charge into an assault.
Expert Pilots
The Saim-Hann are skilled at piloting their skimmers. The following units in a Saim-Hann Wild Rider Host may re-roll failed Difficult Terrain tests during the Movement phase:
- Wild Rider Chief and Kinsmen
- Guardian Jetbike Squads
- Vyper Squadrons
- Wave Serpents
- Falcons
- Fire Prisms
Deployment
In any mission, a Saim-Hann army may deploy Fast Attack units instead of Troops units (for example, in a Patrol mission a Saim-Hann army may choose to deploy either a Troops unit or a Fast Attack unit before the battle). Note that this is instead of Troops, you can't deploy both Troops and Fast Attack units.
