ChainsawDR Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Hi, A couple of noob questions (I have got a rulebook, just not to hand) regarding Attack Bikes... At 50pts an Attack Bike has TL bolters, bolt pistol and Multi melta... Can they all fire in the same turn (i.e. 4 shots within 12", 3 within 24")? Also, could I then assault with the Attack Bike in the assault phase. I'm thinking yes to both but have a niggling doubt that I wanted to clear up. [EDIT]Sorry another question, they have 2 attacks as standard, does that mean they have 3 attacks when they assault? Again I'm thinking yes but wanted to clear it up as I'm planning on taking 3 in the next game and wanted to make sure I perfectly understood what they can do. Thanks brothers.

Wolf Guard Hengist Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Its a yes to gaining an extra attack on the charge, as for the shooting I would be tempted to say you could fire the main weapon and then choose either Bolters or Bolt Pistol. The gunner fires the main wep and the rider fires the bolters, however there something in my mind saying it counts as one model so can only fire one weapon.

ChainsawDR Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 thanks I agree, can I still assault after rapid firing the TL bolters? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/175652-attack-bike-shooting-assaulting/#findComment-2075724 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPetersson Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 thanks I agree, can I still assault after rapid firing the TL bolters? Yes, because a bike counts as Relentless.

Schertenleib Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Fast vehicles can fire all weapons at combat speed, single weapon at cruising speed, and none flat out.

Mandibol Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Attack bikes are bikes and follow the bike rules. and bikes can shoot one weapon per rider on the bike, so attack bikes can fire two weapons.

Lord Rao Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Yes. There are two riders, so you can fire two weapons systems. That generally means the TLB on the front/fairing and the main weapon, in your case a MM. The BP is basically a relic from the past, and now just allows you to engage enemies in close combat (just as it does when carried by an infantryman into an assault). If you think about it, both marines on the attack bike carry a BP, it's part of every marine's standard equipment. You could, technically, swap it for any melee weapon if it makes you feel better; it certainly isn't used for shooting, really.

Grey Mage Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 The "Driver" on my attack bikes always has a CCW of some sort ready to go. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/175652-attack-bike-shooting-assaulting/#findComment-2076769 Share on other sites More sharing options...
