Vlâdvar The Destroyer Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Greetings fellow deviants of the warp, I have a question about chaos bikers taking Meltaguns, Flamers & Plasma Guns. In the current codex it says that the rider can replace its CCW with either a Meltagun, Flamer or Plasma Gun. Whereas in the previous codex, its replaced the bikes Twin-linked bolters. Does anyone know why GW made this change or if this is a typo? As surely it would make more scene to replace the Twin-linked bolters, as Special weapons are 2 handed, so how could the rider fire it & control the bike at the same time.... Also by having the CCW being replaced means the biker looses 1 attack in close combat too.. Last question, does anyone know wot the chas bike squadron boxset contian... does it now have a CSM upgrade sprue or does it comes with metal parts?

JamesI Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 GW made a change in this edition. So bikers lose the +1 attack to get a special weapon. Plus, this way you still have the bolters if you give a biker a meltagun/flamer for the better range until you get close. As for whats in the box, I have no idea.
