Description
Beast-Mounted Infantry ride into battle on alien beasts, utilizing the creature's natural talents in their native environment to surprising effect.[1] Though rarely seen in modern mechanized combat, some Great Houses do maintain such formations, especially when fighting out on the Periphery. The FWLM maintains such units, like the Branth Irregulars of Beta Regiment, Fifth Legion. This Aeriel Beast unit is able to cover large distances thanks to their Branth mounts, reaching speeds of 54 kph, and can easily induce terror into even the most hardened conventional infantry force.[2]
Armament
The Branth Irregulars carry massive Elephant Guns, fearsome weapons more than capable of killing any man (or beast) in one shot. However, they are ill-suited for taking on hardened, mechanized targets.
