ShinyRhino Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 In going through the 6th Ed BRB in preparation for a tourney on Saturday, I noticed that ICs no longer have Move Through Cover or Skilled Rider as free abilities. In all the combing I did, I was unable to find it, but the book is a tad scattered/disorganized in its construction. Is this hidden anywhere, or did ICs indeed lose these abilities for good?

Seahawk Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Nope, they're all gone! Probably because they would confer it on their squad if they had it, and that's a HUGE bonus...

That's why I wanted to make sure. I wanted that bonus! Curses! Foiled again! :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/256939-skilled-rider-move-through-cover-and-ics/#findComment-3126484 Share on other sites More sharing options...
awfulawful Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I did a very thorough search for that as well. Sad. Oh well, perhaps it's time to convert up some training wheels for my bike captain.

You get armor saves against failures now, and if you also ride with a Command Squad, you'll even get a FNP roll against that string of bad luck.

Definitely. My bike captain always has artificer armor, and that will continue for 6th ed. I like that we now get armor saves against dangerous terrain. He usually rides with his crew, so the FNP will be there too. Honestly the loss of skilled rider isn't bad at all, but you just know that there is going to be that one time when you fail every roll and take a wound at the worst time.
