Each fact stays attached to the source that states it. No statistic is inferred from an image or an earlier game.
The role, in context
Squighog Riders are mounted Ork Beast Snagga Boyz whose documented identity combines relative speed with Stikka-spear attacks. The faction preview says they can move quickly across the battlefield, appear where needed and make a significant impact on an opponent’s forward lines. That establishes mobility, equipment and a broad pressure role without defining a formal target class. The source does not publish cost, squad size, armour, movement value, production structure, charge rule, ability, attack range, damage, mount behaviour, veterancy or whether every forward-line unit is equally vulnerable.
What is documented over time
Squighog Riders are introduced in the Ork faction preview to show that the roster offers more than inexpensive expansion and sheer numbers. Their mounted speed gives the army a way to reach another part of the fight quickly, while Stikka spears provide the only named equipment detail. The unit therefore adds mobile forward-line pressure to the faction’s current design. This is roster framing, not balance history. No earlier implementation, changed speed, revised spear, removed ability, upgrade path, patch sequence, version comparison or dated tuning decision is documented.
How it is presented in play
The qualified use case is rapid pressure on an opponent’s forward lines. Squighog Riders move relatively quickly before attacking with Stikka spears, so the preview presents them as units that can show up in another area and make an impact there. It does not name a specific target, objective, formation, path, escort or Commander pairing. No charge timing, retreat rule, unit count, production moment or interaction with Waaagh! is published. Guidance can explain the mobility-and-forward-pressure identity without inventing a flank route, combat sequence or guaranteed breakthrough.
What you can — and cannot — conclude
The common mistake is to infer that a fast mounted Ork unit must be fragile or have a published anti-mounted counter. The faction preview supports only relative speed, Stikka spears and pressure against forward lines; it gives no armour interaction, vulnerable state, opposing unit category, movement restriction or way to stop an approach. Nor does it state that every forward-line target is defeated equally. A careful response can warn players to recognise the unit’s ability to arrive quickly, but cannot prescribe a damage type, screening unit, focus order or hard matchup.
