Radiskull Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I'm curious as to everyones opinion on attack bikes compared to land speeders being used as tank hunters with a multi-melta. I've seen multiple lists that go both ways. Anyone have experience with both and have decided which they prefer?

Morticon Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 There are LOADS of threads in this forum from 5th ed about this, and a few from 6th ed. With Jink, the ability to shrug off a lascannon shot and the overall flexibility, the attack bikes seem much better pound for pound. Depends what kind of a list you like to play. Typhoons are the best comparison since simple MM skimmers are in enemy pain range way too quickly.

JamesI Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Personally, I prefer Attack bikes a lot. The true T5 and jink makes them survivable and they can get FNP and FC from priests.

DominicJ Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I like speeders with a single melta. Cheap, fly. Bikes mighty be better, but angels fly, they don't cycle Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/260484-land-speeders-vs-attack-bikes/#findComment-3169576 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallas Drake Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 MMAB is solid. The only thing I dislike is an infantry heavy list can lock them in combat (a nasty IG trick). Other than that they're a sound choice. - Dallas Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/260484-land-speeders-vs-attack-bikes/#findComment-3170363 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeller Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I use squads of both if I have the points but if points are an issue I always opt for the MMAB squadron first hands down. It's simply too effective to not use. Low profile, higher than average toughness, 36" threat MM and all for 50 points. Sounds delicious. Speeders are used as additional dakka platforms to mop up infantry.

Venemox Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Don't forget to look HERE for additional information. As someone was kind enough to point out, the MMAB driver can throw his Krak grenade 12" instead of shooting the TLBolter. So you get both the MM shot in Melta range and the grenade toss. Of course, I might be a bit biased because I ride a modern military bike with sidecar. http://www.pashnit.com/pics/sidecars/Ural-jump.jpg Though, I can't seem to find the Multimelta attachment at any of the local bike shops... :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/260484-land-speeders-vs-attack-bikes/#findComment-3170796 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deschenus Maximus Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I still use double MM speeders when I need to save points, but its difficult to argue that MM ABs aren't overall better.
