Toothless_saw Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Hi, Im sure this has come up before and im an edition of the rulebook behind but... why does the attack bike come with smoke launchers, im sure from my reading of the smoke launcher rules it doesnt do anything unless the unit has armour. cheers.......

Seahawk Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 They don't have smoke launchers, unless it's a BA/SW/BT/DA special variant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinyRhino Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 No, smoke laucnhers are not part of the wargear of attack bikes in any form. However, the old, metal Attack Bike kits DID contain a smoke launcher bit for some reason. They have no in-game function if applied to the model.

Leonaides Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 because once upon a time all bikes were av10 vehicles, and could be given grenade launchers. But that was back in the era when tanks had anything up to av 25ish and multimeltas did 2d12 plus d6 plus 8 armour penetration... It never came off the kit after 2nd ed at a guess...

Leonaides Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 It was rather useful when you could fire a fan of 3 frag grenades 6" in front of you - take that, you horrible large infantry squad who I just failed to charge... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildfire Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 because once upon a time all bikes were av10 vehicles, and could be given grenade launchers.

Damn, beat me to it. Don't forget that multi-meltas had a 2" blast radius back then, and did 2d12 wounds. And if they were on a SM dread, they could be used as a heavy flamer (the old heavy flamer template was had 2 or more times the area of the current one). God, they were my favorite weapon back then!
