Forge World Mount Up On Legio Custodes Agamatus Jetbikes
April 8, 2017 by brennon
Forge World have some more equipment for the faithful and resolute Legio Custodes to use in battle with the Agamatus Jetbikes. See what you think of this full squadron, ready for battle.
These Jetbikes are the heavy cavalry of the grim dark future.
"The Agamatus squadrons of the Legio Custodes exploit these Jetbikes to operate both as a rapid response and suppression unit in the field.
In this they operate much in the manner of the elite cavalry forces of ancient times, screening the main Legio Custodes force from potential encirclement, reacting quickly to blunt enemy attacks, and hunting down mercilessly any foe which breaks and flees before the might of the Legio Custodes, ensuring the utter extermination of the enemy – when six of these machines bear down upon an enemy, that enemy’s complete annihilation is all but assured."
I'm not entirely sold on the design of these but I do like the rather brutal philosophy behind them. You can see why the Bikes of the Space Marines in the 41st Millenium are effectively battering rams with guns attached.
Will you be snapping some up to add to your force?

Those are some nice imperial jet bikes.
Will they ever stop it with their joke prices though?
Why would they? They make a fortune with every release with those prices, so they obviously don’t see any reason to stop.
Just thought they were aiming to make 30k more accessible to everyone .. i hope new players use a critical eye on forge world when it comes to their pricing and and that they dont just blindly support this nonsense.
All the time it sells enough at that price they will keep pushing the prices, that is principle of free market economics.
They are stunning models but I won’t pick them up at that price. If enough think the same future releases will be priced differently.
Exactly 🙂
They look nice but not nice enough for the price tag they go for.
Looks erect.
Quite like the armour on these guys but please tell me they aren’t armed with lances/spears as this is just plain silly 😀
air cavalry they even have lances nice.
The lances look to be the same length as the bikes. Seems like you would have trouble landing a hit. Not to mention the likely effect of the high speed impact on the riders body. Superhuman or not, shoulders dislocate!
Seems like putting a gun on the bike would remove any need for a lance :p
