Hear da Lamentation Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 Oucha - doesn't look like anyone has found it. This is a potential massive benefit for bikers. IF HQs on a bike get this (like previously) it means the whole biker pack gets better cover saves when turboing AND pass all dangerous maneuver tests automatically. It really is huge. BUT .... I can't find out who gets the skill. Someone help me ...... PLEEEEEEEZE ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/255117-bikers-with-skilled-rider-in-6th/#findComment-3105914 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalx the grey Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Wait what?! That'd be huge! Can some with the book clarify that please? The old skilled rider just re-rolled failed dangerous terrain tests, and all ICs had it. Now you say it does what? And does it specifically say it is tranfered to the unit!?

Seahawk Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 All IC's used to have Skilled Rider. Now that Skilled Rider is rebonkulously awesome, they took it away from IC's. I got all excited when thinking about my various bike armies but alas, it's gone. Skilled Rider gives +1 to Jink saves and auto-pass Dangerous Terrain tests, as long as a single model in the unit has it.

Chalx the grey Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Doh, than we get our riders nerfed I guess, since they lost the rule themselves... I wonder which units do get skilled rider then? I would presume a White Scars special caracter will have it when new C:SM comes around.

Grey Mage Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Eldar Shining Spears have the option to upgrade to it, and some DE units have it too... Dont know that it exists anywhere else at the moment. Khan? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/255117-bikers-with-skilled-rider-in-6th/#findComment-3106023 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hear da Lamentation Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 DAMN! Not looking so good for IC having it then. Thought I was missing something in the book, cause noone seemed to get it. Grey mage has named a few units which specifically do ... which is not a good sign. Shame ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/255117-bikers-with-skilled-rider-in-6th/#findComment-3106154 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khine Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Don't Dark Angels Ravenwing have it too? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/255117-bikers-with-skilled-rider-in-6th/#findComment-3106683 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlk Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Don't Dark Angels Ravenwing have it too? Not yet, as far as I know. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/255117-bikers-with-skilled-rider-in-6th/#findComment-3106713 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaigo Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Ravenwing was something I was looking into as possible ally. Really would be better in they get the skill though.

You were seriously considering taking Dark Angels as allies?

Jaigo Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Why not, I am considering a bike squad. Having them as troops is a nice bonus. Haven't read into the pro's and con's yet, but I do recall the jetbike of the HQ dude being pretty nifty.

Nadir Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Dark Agnels? C'mon! White Scars are more suitable for us. And can outflank with our GH an IC with Hunter saga :lol: (Of course, you should take whatever you want to. Even when they are marines with skir... erm Dark Angels) :cuss Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/255117-bikers-with-skilled-rider-in-6th/#findComment-3109210 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't read into the pro's and con's yet, but I do recall the jetbike of the HQ dude being pretty nifty. Dude, they are Dark Angels. I'm sure Dark Angels and Space Wolves would come together easy to fight a common foe. Especially if the foe is Chaos or Xenos. During the Eye of Terror campaign they fought side by side, although it was grudgingly. That said, I really like the idea (fluff and modelling wise) of allying some White scar bikers with Space Wolf bikers.
