Hornet – Aeldari Fast Skimmer Fire Support

This reads cleanly as a Hornet, a fast skimmer that sits between infantry support and full grav tanks in terms of role. On the tabletop, units like this are taken for mobility first, firepower second. A Hornet works best when it’s constantly repositioning — skirting the edges of the board, finding side angles, and threatening units that assume they’re safe behind screens or terrain. It’s not meant to anchor a position or absorb attention; its value comes from staying alive through movement and forcing opponents to respect wide firing lanes. Committing it straight into the mid-board usually wastes what makes it good. Used properly, it chips away at key targets, punishes overextension, and pulls attention away from slower, more valuable pieces. As a proxy, the low, fast skimmer profile clearly signals a hit-and-run role, which helps keep games clear and avoids confusion about intent. This is a practical choice for lists that want speed-based pressure without committing to fragile infantry.
