Lair 1d8

Favored Tactic 1d12

1 Ninja Pirates - The Corsairs like to sneak close to opponents, then stab them. They often get into position by opening new Webway Portals, or using vehicles and ships cloaked with holo-fields. They often attack at night, and prioritize destroying power infrastructure to kill lights and artificial gravity.
2 Heist Masters - The Corsairs avoid bloodshed when possible, using elaborate schemes including disguised crewmembers, mind controlled puppets, holo-trickery, jetpacks, temporary Webway openings, knock-out gas, and/or blink packs to steal loot and humiliate their opponents.
3 Speed Demons - The Corsairs prefer jetbikes and Venoms, even for forests, urban areas, and boarding actions.
4 Big Explosions - The Corsairs love using big guns and planted explosives to take out large targets, and deliberately pick missions where they will have the opportunity to make some noise.
5 Fighter Cult - The Corsairs train extensively with their preferred weapons and vehicles, and deliberately structure their missions in ways that put those skills to the test.
6 Prisoner-Takers - The Corsairs use technology like webbers, tanglefield grenades, knock-out gases, and stun batons to capture as many people alive as possible. Whether it is for slave-taking, ritual sacrifices, ransom hostages, humiliations, or just to avoid bloodshed is dependent on the motivations of the Prince and their followers.
7 Slapstick Comedy - The Corsairs avoid fair fights to humiliate weak opponents in close combat. Depending on the Corsair band, these "games" may end up being anywhere from viciously sadistic to moderately humiliating.
8 Flamboyant - The Prince regularly comes up with tactics that are flashy and needlessly complicated, to prove their prowess, enhance their legend, and/or to relieve boredom.
9-10 All Out Assault - The Corsairs prefer to attack their opponents in the most direct manner possible. For planetary work, their fleets batter their way through the planet's defenses to reach low orbit, and then release a cloud of anti-grav vehicles ranging from jetbikes to super-heavies, while their ships pummel any strong surface fortifications.
11 Silent Hunters - The Corsairs behave more like Rangers, fighting stealthily but from a distance. They prefer isolated worlds where they have days, or even months to operate. Depending on their motives, they may enjoy generating psychological terror, want to practice their skills, or just feel it is smart to cautiously pick apart their targets. Often use Ranger longrifles as their main weapon.
12 Void Only - The Corsairs almost never land on a planet, why even bother when so many races pack their valuables into crude merchant vessels? Roll 1d8 on this table for more information on their boarding tactics (yes the 1d8 is deliberate).

Standard Gear - 1d50 3d6 times The typical corsair will have a shuriken rifle or shuriken pistol, medium armor, and maybe a few plasma grenades as default. Standard gear may also be affected by the result of the favored tactic roll or the origin roll.

14-15 Power Weapons - A popular choice with many Corsair bands, usually comes in the form of a sword. It cuts through armor like glass, but is unfortunately not very stealthy because of the light it emits when activated. Can be used as a normal sword when stealth is a priority.
16 Chainswords - A popular choice against tough but lightly armored foes orks and mutants, or with those who like making a mess.
17 Venom Blades - Often of Drukhari design, popular with those who like causing pain.

20 Free-For-All - The Corsairs carry a truly bewildering mix of weapons into combat, each seeking to outdo each other with unusual gimmicks.

41-43 Shimmershields/Mistshields - A high percentage of the band uses forearm mounted personal energy shields.
44-45 Light Armor - Many members of the band wear little to no armor, or sometimes little clothing as well, for a range of reasons, but usually arrogance or to stand out.
46-48 Quality Armor - The band is rich or influential enough to have access to many suits of armor on par with that worn by Aspect Warriors, or on par with Drukhari ghostplate armor. It may also be ancient armor found in a ruin, or made "in-house" by a particularly talented Corsair artisan.
49-50 Voidplate Harnesses - Bulky suits mean for deep space work. Some Corsair bands stick their front line assaulters in them when charging a wall of guns is unavoidable.

Specialists 1d20, roll 1d6 times Some veteran Corsairs specialize in a particular form of combat, often taught by a longtime master who is a member of the band. Other times the band makes or acquires unusual vehicles that are generally only used by Corsairs, perhaps only that specific band. Depending on how well they get along with their allies, the Corsairs may also frequently fight alongside Aspect Warriors, Rangers, Harlequins, Kabalites, or perhaps even non-Aeldari.

1 Ghostwalkers - Stealth experts, may use knifes, longrifles, jetpacks, camocloaks, holofields, and more, depending on the Corsair band's favored tactics and resources.
2 Cloud Dancers - Skilled bikers, although many Corsairs use jetbikes, these guys raise it to a fine art.
3 Malevolent Bands - Unfortunately some go slowly insane if they walk the Corsair path for too long, or quickly insane if exposed to a particularly nasty situation. Some Corsair bands deal with the issue by rounding these guys up into suicide squads with the best melee weapons and explosives.
4-5 Wasp Assault Walkers - Some Corsair bands modify War Walkers with jet assisted anti-grav systems, significantly improving the maneuverability of what is usually seen as a moderately mobile stable weapons platform. Unfortunately the increased power usage means the holofields are usually used instead of power fields to protect the pilot from incoming fire.
6 Balestrike Bands - Some Corsair bands give most of their heavy support weapons to jetpack using veterans who specialize in using their maneuverability to hunt whatever target is most vulnerable to their weapon.
7-8 Hornets - A hard-hitting anti-grav vehicle that some Corsairs and Craftworlds prefer over Vypers.
9 Shade Runners - Literal ninjas who use their blink packs to teleport within knife stabbing distance. The fighting style's founders were said to be a Wych and a Warp Spider.

12 Starstorm Duelists - Flashy gunslingers, they usually have a brace of pistols, including a few fancy ones, particularly fusion pistols.

14 Unusual Xenos - The band contains a few members of an obscure xenos race who fight in a unique way.
15 Drukhari Mercenaries - A few Wyches, Mandrakes, Sslyth or other specialists are being paid to fight alongside the Corsair band on an almost full-time basis.
