The Reavers of Commorragh are fascinated by the art of war at speed.They ride to battle upon the most streamlined and
pared down of all skycraft – the anti-grav jetbike, a perfect fusion of raw motive power and �nely honed lethality.The
Eldar experience sensations to a far greater degree than any other race, and their psyches are easily given to obsession.
Reavers, having cultivated a taste for high-speed violence during realspace raids, are Drukhari consumed with the act of

of all Commorrite transports is theVenom, an arrow-swift skimmer that carries an elite cadre of warriors into battle to
strike like a poisoned dart at the heart of the foe. Rather than present a single obvious target, a Drukhari strike force will
attack in waves, with a dizzying number of craft pouring out of the fractured skies in order to confound the guns of the
foe. Although a few Drukhari vehicles may be intercepted by the �ak of particularly lucky enemies, even a disciplined gun
battery cannot hope to stop the entirety of the malignant swarm that descends upon it. Furthermore, as any experienced 1-3 Crew - See Characteristics on previous page -

common of these anti-gravity skimmers are known as Raiders, the favoured transports of Drukhari across the galaxy.
