Background.
In demand by the White Scars since they combine being rather fast (and thus able to keep up with the rest of the legion!) with rather decent firepower. The Speeders are a blend of quality, celerity, and sheer fire power that should not be under-estimated. I think we will all be seeing these units in White Scars builds at some point.
Strengths.
Speed (fast skimmer type). Firepower. And strictly better than a regular javelin (look to the extra pip of AV at the front for that). They come with the regular rules you might expect such as deep striking and outflanking. The sheer amount of firepower that 3 speeders in one unit can pump out would put an Ork Boy to shame quite frankly. Unlike an Ork Boy, they hit a long more reliably...
Weaknesses.
Watch the rear.
Builds.
There is not much to talk about here since there are not too many options to contemplate. They come with a Kheres assault cannon and two reaper auto cannons each, but neither type can be replaced with anything else.
The only options are more speeders in the squad (a good thing that should be thought about!), search lights (situational), and hunter-killer missiles (to taste -- some people swear by them, others will tell you they're a waste of points. I can see it both ways).
