Karhedron Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 We can still give him FnP just keep your bike Captain within 2" of a jump pack command squad, they move 12", he moves 12", no problem. That's what I do. Or is there some rule I'm missing saying he can't do that? Only my OCD. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 In terms of modelling opportunities; the Tech marine is something you could probably have the most fun with. Personally I'd like to see one on a low floating platform magos style leading the charge with his 6 arms all laying down the hurt. Anyone else wish we could take the Techies, Libbys, Chappies and Priesties with 3 wounds? 2 just seems so few... Random thought though: imagine if a Tech marine fell to the black rage... Would they let him keep the servo harness? Imagine the destruction... Techmarines don't even have W2... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appiah4 Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Alright, so tomorrow is the end of this challenge, and in attempting to pick a winner to model and paint, I just realized something.. Half of these builds are impossible WYSIWYG. For example, how does one model the Relic Blade, Storm Shield Captain on a Bike? How does he steer the thing let alone wield the sword with the shield.. on a bike.. Or the Thunder Hammer and Lightning Claw dude.. Really? Hammer in one hand and a huge clawed power fist in the other - how do I ride? I'm considering googling Space Marine Captain on Bike for images, but I'm almost scared to do it EDIT: One possibly very cool conversion I can think of.. Turn an Attack Bike into the Captain unit; i.e. an SM rides the bike, the Captain rides in the cart, on foot, with weapon and shield in hand? EDIT2: Ah crap, as with every other cool thing in the world, someone already did it (at least not on Simpsons..) http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UTZlOEmbs4E/TT2G7XGplnI/AAAAAAAAAJg/0OGRy7JiY38/s1600/space_marine_captain+%25281%2529.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovidius Incertus Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 You could always model the extraneous weapon (thunder hammer or relic blade) as sheathed across the back or elsewhere on the bike so guy's actually got a hand to steer with.

Karhedron Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Put the storm shield on the arm that is steering the bike and the sword or hammer on the swinging arm. This is a good example. http://plasticspaceguys.com/uploads/ImpFist_Cmd_wip2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damo1701 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Have a chain attached to both handlebars, going to the fingers under the blades of the lightning claw. Horse Reins style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddywarcrimes Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Sanguinary Priest Bike Combi-Grav Vitas Veritae Auspex Slap him in a unit of bikers with 2 gravguns and a combi-grav to give them all Feel No Pain, and spend most of his time using the Auspex to reduce cover saves while the squad pours gravgun fire down range.

Xenith Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Dunno if the long range really meshes with the 12" range pon teh auspex. I'd rather put in on an up close and personal character who wont be doing much shooting, so allow my long ranged stuff to have maximum effect.

appiah4 Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 As a sidenote here's the unit the character will run with: 5 Space Marine Bikes; Veteran Sergeant, Power Fist, Auspex, 2x Plasmagun Basically, a standard 6th Ed. codex Blood Angels bike squad; I'm not really keen on moving to Grav with them, I want to keep them as a shock assault troop rather than something I keep away and shoot with.. As a result, I'll either be going with something that helps with resilience (Priest) or punch (Captain) Of the current Captain builds, what really strikes me as most potent is he Captain with Artificer Armor, Valor's Edge and Grav Pistol on Bike. I'm not sold on the SH, as the character already has a 4++.. For the Sanguinary Priest, I'm considering Grav Pistol and Valor's Edge. Lack of a Storm Shield choice here really hurts though, 3+/FNP is pretty rough compared to 2+/4++ I'm veeeery likely to go for the captain, unless someone changes my mind until tomorrow ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
