Epy Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I'm considering including some assult bikes for my army. However, I'm a bit confused by the rules. 1. The profile says an assult bike has two marines, a pistol and a heavy bolter on it, but the assult bike models always have a heavy bolter and two boltgun-like weapons in front of the driver. I really don't think these two weapons are pistols... <_< So, are they 'pistols'? 2. Well, the rule book states that a bike with two passengers can fire a weapon per passenger. Is that so that an assult bike can fire a pistol shot and a heavy bolter shot per shooting phase? 3. For assulting, how many attacks does an assult bike have? If you can answer these questions I would be very grateful~~:D PS. The profile of Vindicator demolisher cannon says it is ordanace 1 (page 80, Codex) but the summary says it is ord.1 with barrage. Which one is true? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/157849-q-how-do-bikes-shoot/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Malachi Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 A bike includes twin-linked bolters, that's what are mounted in front of the driver, and can be fired as twin-linked bolters. The reason it doesn't include it in the list of weapons is because all bikes have them standard.

BAdragon Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 1. The weapons are standard on bikes, and are called twin-linked bolters 2. Attack bikes can fire one gun per marine, e.g. 1 heavy bolter and the twinlinked bolters, even after having moved 12" 3. Attack bikes get the 2 attacks listed in their profile. When they charge, they get an additional attack. They dont get any more.

Epy Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 Yeah, great. Thank you all :) Also, can I form a pure assult bike squad without including any normal biker?

BAdragon Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Yes, look under attack bikes in the SM codex. You can form squads of 1-3 Attack bikes Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/157849-q-how-do-bikes-shoot/#findComment-1847518 Share on other sites More sharing options...
