Scout Bike Sergeant

Recommended Posts

hey folks!

 

Just a quick question. I'm finally bringing some Scout Bikes to the table and want to know what would be the best weapon to give to the Sergeant. My first game will have 7 bikes with 3 Astartes Greneade Launchers. I was thinking about giving the Sergeant a Combi-Plasma to compiment the range of the the AGL's, or a Combi-Flamer to help thin out a squad they are going to attack. Or should I give him a fist and hope he survives long enough once he gets into CC... or should I avoid close combat?

 

thanks!

T5 means most enemies (that arent dedicated CC specialists) will struggle to beat them in CC.. i use a fist on mine and he always gets to swing, plus it helps against vehciles and with first turn charges as a viable option it helps to have that added potential

I agree with GC08, a fist would be the best investment. Helps you out in assault and protects you a bit from MCs Dreads, and ICs. A combi also wouldn't be too bad, I'd suggest a combi-flamer to help thin out the enemy before you charge. Plus it's a one shot weapon you know that you won't miss with.

 

On smaller squads though I wouldn't worry with a fist, as chances are you'll be dead before you swing, so if running a smaller squad, I'd just give him a combi.

agreed on the second point, in small squads a combi-melta is usually the way to go (in scout armies that is, they lack anti-mech).. however a scout bike sergeant can only have one upgrade so its a choice between the combi or the fist, the fist always gets the nod IMO

Is it really only the one choice? Oops, sorry about that. I don't have my Codex on me, and I'm going from memory. In that case power fist for big squads, combi for small.

 

i used to make that mistake when i first started running them, makes no sense whatsoever IMO
