Pils Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Hail brothers of the Fang! I have a rules question, what exactly can a character on a bike take weapons wise? Would i be able to take a character on a bike with a frost weapon and a storm shield?

Would i be able to take a character on a bike with a frost weapon and a storm shield? Yes, unless SS is terminators only.

Grey Mage Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Storm shields are not terminator only... you can in fact take them. The only thing you are restricted from is that you cannot take a heavy weapon ala a WGBL and you cannot take a storm bolter.

Grey Mage Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 The heavy weapons rules are in under the WGBG section, the storm bolter has parenthesis next to it that says (terminators only).

LPetersson Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Am I the only one who's thinking to himself 'How do they steer with weapons in both hands?'? Ok, I know there doesn't seem to be rules against it, but I just have a problem with it on some level... :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/160905-weapons-bikes/#findComment-1889741 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bran Scalphunter Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 It's why the Almighty One(s) created knees there Pete. That and using as weapons against unsuspecting fools. :D Yeah, 2LC with Belt of Russ on Bike is a good combo. Still have dakka with lotsa choppa! Yer, dat's reel gud en all, hur hur hur...

Plastenarius Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I really haven't considered putting my leader on a bike before but I might try it out. Throwing a WGBL and his WG all on bikes would be entertaining at the least.

Grey Mage Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Actually LP in 3rd edition they agreed with you.... and a space marine bike, as well as other bikes took up a hand. Ever notice how our bloodclaw bikers only get a CCW? Its because the bike took up a "hand".

Ok, I know there doesn't seem to be rules against it, but I just have a problem with it on some level... ;) Actually, the way I model my bikers gets around this. I model them with 1 hand steering the bike, and the mount the Storm Shield on that same forearm, they arnt actually "Holding" it. Very simular to jousting shields in that the horses rider could still hold the reins as well. Just my own way around it. I have seen someone else who modeled thier bikes with loads of extra armour plates, stating that the "Storm Shield" was built into the bike itself, around the rider.

Throwing a WGBL and his WG all on bikes would be entertaining at the least. I'll be trying this out in an Apoc game in March. It's a hideously expensive unit, but I think it'll be worth it. I rarely leave the fang without my 'Blood Claw Biker Gang'. And my enemies have learned to fear them... CC by 2nd turn and a threat that just can't be ignored... Actually LP in 3rd edition they agreed with you.... and a space marine bike, as well as other bikes took up a hand. Ever notice how our bloodclaw bikers only get a CCW? Its because the bike took up a "hand". Yeah, I noticed that, which is one of the reasons for my way of thinking... Well, I'll definitely give them storm shields now :-O Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/160905-weapons-bikes/#findComment-1890238 Share on other sites More sharing options...
