The Legion Javelin Attack Speeder raced ahead of the Blood Angels' aerial assault, a fleet anti-grav gunship that darted through the low sky to shatter the guns and armour which might threaten the Legion's descending warriors. The sons of Sanguinius used it as a duellist uses a feint, drawing an enemy's fire and burning open his heavy vehicles so that the winged host behind it met a foe already reeling. Fast, elegant, and precise, the Javelin suited a Legion that prized skill above brute force, and its crews were chosen for the same cold artistry that marked every killer of the Ninth. It cleared the heavens the angels meant to own. In the campaigns of the Heresy the Javelins of the Blood Angels swept ahead of their brothers' assaults, tearing apart the traitors' defences a heartbeat before the crimson host fell upon them from above.
