appiah4 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I'm building a medium sized Bike Squad out of 6 DV bikes I have; I'm considering 5 normal Bikers with 2 Plasmaguns and 1 Plasma Pistol.. I'm not sure what to add to this.. A Chaplain with Power Fist? A Librarian? A Sanguinary Priest with Plasma Pistol? What say you B&C? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushman101 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 (Don't have 7th ed rule book, going on knowledge that 7th is similar to 6th) If you can only have one, go with the Sang Priest. I find that T5 combined with FNP helps keep the squad alive. I see your running plasma, are you trying to kill off high armor infantry? I prefer meltas on my bikes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddywarcrimes Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I would definitely recommend the Sanguinary Priest. Reclusiarchs are nifty, Invisibility is brutal if you can get it and cast it, but the Priest is the most consistently useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demoulius Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Ive run bikers with a SP on bike. REALLY resiliant but the guys perform quite badly in an assault, on the account that they only have 1 attack each. So long as you keep that in mind and use them as either a gun platform or a tarpit they should perform fine. They work incredibly well against S3 enemies because...well...they can almost not touch them S4 enemies also struggle on the account that theyre wounded on 5's....and with a 3+ save and 5+ FnP can be a chore to drag down. That said, I think only the priest adds anything to a bike squad really. A liby COULD work if hes your only mandatory HQ model and you dont want one supporting other units (like jump capable units) bikes (or jump packs) add good mobility so your HQ is quite easy to bring to the spot where you want him. A chaplain (or reclusiarch) could work also work I guess, but like I said.... The unit itself lacks a punch in combat and are rather pricey to be used as such..

Jolemai Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 When I get round to it, I will have a Priest and an IC. So, make the Priest first imo. Also, with the changes to the Jink USR it might be worth giving your sergeant a Power Weapon (Lance?) instead. This will then, arguably, help you decide what is the better IC to take going forward.
