Surfin' Bugs, Dude! (Stargrunt II)

The clouds were rolling in on Cyrenus IV, when I first noticed the
strange
sights in the sky.  At first I thought, they were small planes, then
their
bio weapons started spurting death all around me.  THEY WERE AIR SURFIN'
BUGS, DUDE!  Apparently, they were each riding on grav plates: some were
round, but the majority of the grav plates were elongated, much like
common
surf boards. 

The air surfin' bugs were small, under 6 feet (1"), and armed with two
handed bio weapons (3,D8).  There were about 7-15 in each group.  These
were probably scout groups, because they did not appear to be wearing
any
armour. Their skin looked as if it would provide a D4 armour roll.  I
had
seen these bugs before; maybe in a dream, or in a local hobby store with
a
GW stamped on their packaging.	The surf boards were affected by terrain
as
per ground-skimming grav vehicles.  They moved 12" (D12 x 2 combat).

Later that day, I saw the same kind of bugs, on the ground.  They were
moving 8" (D8 x 2 combat).  I never saw the ground bugs with surf
boards,
so I concluded that there were two types of these bugs: air surfin' and
ground boogying. Unit quality appeared to be D6, both in ranged combat
and
close combat. Their sensors were unaided eyes at D4.  I never saw any
heavy
or special weapons with either bugs, so I concluded that these scout
groups
did not carry any.

I named these bugs ASB's and GBB's (air surfin' bugs and ground boogying
bugs).

Later installments will detail other bugs, that were encountered in the
Bug
Beating Battle for Cyrenus IV.
