Arkaniss Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Fear not Charlo, I'm sure Jolemai is as noble and forgiving as Sanguinius himself...? ;) Yeah I really should read the codex better, I was flicking through it to find the Scout page as I was assembling some and came across the Scout Bikers... I'm sure I hadn't seen them before! It does give me ideas now I'm working on my 2nd Scout squad... they're cheap Troop choices and pretty good in an Assault so I wouldn't mind more Scouts, and Biker Scouts from Baal could be pretty neat. Last game the cheeky chaps dragged down a Dreadknight thanks to Furious Charge so their stock is on the up in my eyes :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHelion Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Scout bikers have the additional benefits of speed, rapid fire grenade launchers, and Cluster Bombs. Make any one piece of terrain dangerous terrain for your opponent! Hilarious. Chaplain Gunzhard 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkaniss Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I have a feeling they're still only Toughness 4 with a 4+ Save though? Is that right? Still, I am interested in getting my hands on some and seeing how they perform. Wouldn't mind some Marine Bikers too but I'm still holding on (in vain?) for an updated kit, that Bike sprue is ancient now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedemptionNL Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Scout bikers are T5 4+. Arkaniss 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 (edited) Scout bikers are T5 4+. And Eldar jetbikes upgrade their save to a 3+ from a 5+. There is no justice. Edited August 25, 2016 by Charlo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolchiate Remembrancer Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Err, does anyone know where our revered High Chaplain Jolemai is? He's been unusually quiet. He has been notable by his absence... Perhaps the Reclusium has granted him a period of leave for contemplation...Thanks for the concern, sadly the light of the Astronomicon could not be seen on my most recent mission... Safe to say it was a success and I'm now getting back up to speed. Welcome back cousin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Just had the most amazing idea for my 30k Preator's backstory and model ideas. I am now super inspired. No spoilers yet (as he's a long way off being built) but he's certainly channeling the darker side of the Angels ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damon Nightman Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Necron guy I'm playing was told by my group to bring a decurion and wraiths to our game and he replied "no it's just a casual match" and everyone else in my group's head exploded lol... At least I found someone else who just wants to have a good time in my group haha!

Chaplain Gunzhard Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I love scout bikers, 2 grenade launchers, combi grav and a melta bomb for 79 points... I've been only recently rocking the 5 scout bikes, 3 AGL and combi-plasma (to match their range), with meltabomb and Locator Beacon... I gotta say, I love this unit and I can't believe it took me this many years to assemble mine. For me it's mostly about: infiltrate, Scout move, Locator Beacon synergy ...but they do have some versatility and can threaten camped targets. The 4++ save has hurt me especially since I seem to keep failing dangerous terrain tests, but the T5 and the speed are both nice as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damon Nightman Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 My Capt and VVs just took one wound, lost combat, rolled two 6s and ran off the table.... My Leader and my most elite vets fled the battle after one wound.... My captain and Sgt Brutus may not survive their meeting with the Lord Revenant later... Brutus shouldn't be allowed in the feast of blades after this! But I still won somehow! Chaplain Gunzhard and Arkangilos 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apothecary Meros Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I promoted my sergeant to company captain after he scored 4 points single handedly. He put a Combi-Melta in the face of the last Scourge, killed the last 3 guardians in close combat, and then jumped through a window and kicked the Faraeer's teeth in. His fallen squad were avenged that day. Damon Nightman, Xenith and Tyriks 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlo Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Mastodon is out.

CaptainHelion Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 That Stone Burner rule on the siege melta. Him-On-Earth that's beautiful. And it's a s9 melta. Y'all know how much I love that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenith Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 (edited) Mastodon is out. It even calls out that is is eligible to take Librarian/ Furioso/ Death Company Dreads as passengers 4x Dreadnoughts no less! It says max. 2 I think. However it says "May carry 40 marines. It may also carry up to 2 dreadnoughts...dreadnoughts count as 10 models each". So RAW it can carry 40 + 2 dreads. If they removed the word also, it would be RAI, but 40+2 dreads so far.

Saying how much space dreads take up still doesn't remove the word "also". Not that I would ever do it in game. I know what the RAI is, but RAW...
