amberclad87 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Anyone ever used these guys to any great success? I got a great deal on e-bay for some bikers and plan on running these guys at my local shop tomorow night. I'm gonna try using them with a uber unit of thunder wolves (or thunder horses in my case) and see how the synergy between those two units work. I also plan on running a wolf priest with them (kind of have to) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/208716-swiftclaw-bikers/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendrik Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 they work fine, you can use them to blast the opponent to pieces with the twinlinked bolters;) i believe there used to be a great article on how to use bloodclaw bikers and that was still with the old dex!

Hear da Lamentation Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Check out Littlbitz posts on this Amberclad87 - he uses them a lot, with lots of success. I have played them about 5 times so far and really like them. I use a WP in with them and at least 1 PF. I also add meltabombs to them, which is a really good idea (of Littlebitz') Personally I haven't found them to be some "uber" assault squad - but they are so multipurpose they are well worth it (in my opinion). The only thing I would add is that the WP isn't awesome in combat, so don't rely on him in that way. A WL is a great addition, but that then makes the unit really expensive. Probably not a good idea if you are already using TWC Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/208716-swiftclaw-bikers/#findComment-2490457 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlk Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I use a pack of 4-5 + a Multi-Melta Attack Bike, they have a Meltagun and a Power Fist and a Wolf Priest attached... and I LOVE them! They are very versatile (you need to kill something in CC? check. you need to draw fire from the rest of your army? check. you need to turboboost to contest an objective? check. you need something that looks insanely cool? check) and I'm even thinking about giving meltabombs to them so they would be murderous against vehicles, too. The melta SC is probably going to get a flamer, though, he hasn't hit ANYTHING in three games so far. That's ten points for meltabombs baby ;) And perhaps they are not "uber" assault but... my SCs have absolutely murdered an Ork mob with only a single loss. That's enough .)
