Speed, flexibility, and hitting power in a single chassis — the Hippogriff Armoured Fighting Vehicle is the Astra Militarum's new rapid-response fire support platform. Built for harassment, escort duties, and armoured countercharges rather than slugging it out with heavy tanks, the Hippogriff dashes into position, delivers a punishing volley, and uses its exceptional mobility to disengage before heavier enemy fire can respond.
On the tabletop in 11th edition the Hippogriff is all about flexibility — a 12" move, Toughness 8, seven wounds, and a 3+ save give it enough staying power to matter, while its four primary weapon options let you tailor the chassis to your list's needs. It can be fielded in squadrons of two to maximize the impact of Orders and Stratagems, and the Convoy Escort Vehicle rule rewards aggressive repositioning. A genuinely versatile support vehicle that fills a lane no other Guard unit quite covers.
