L30n1d4s Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I wrote an article about Raven Guard Scout Bikers and their uses, especailly in conjunction with a Grey Knight force using the Nemesis Strike Force: https://greysplinter.wordpress.com/2015/06/16/raven-guard-scout-bikers10th-company-task-force-and-nemesis-strike-force-allies/ Thought this might be an interesting tactic to share here ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/309466-grey-knights-and-raven-guard-scout-bikers/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reclusiarch Darius Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Yeah it's a shame Scout Bikers can't be made Troops somehow. Otherwise Tacs would be out of a job ;) Interesting analysis. A 2+ cover save on Turn 1 is pretty hilarious, combined with their T5 they're essentially Centurions so long as the enemy doesn't have Ignore Cover weaponry. Locator beacons are also excellent on a unit that can deploy and move so quickly into the enemy's face. Definitely considering them for my SM Allies now. Not doing Raven Guard because Night Fight essentially does that anyway ;) plus I think Red Hunters are cooler. But yeah, Scout Bikers are awesome.

Gentlemanloser Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Using the same Formation, normal Scouts (with Camo cloaks) can gain a 2+ Cover Save as well. And this lasts until they move, not just for first turn.

Reclusiarch Darius Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Yeah but Scout Bikers at least have that sweet rapid-fire grenade launcher ;) sniper rifles generally don't do much normally. I am glad they got WS4/BS4 back. It's been too long.

SyNidus Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 That's a pretty cool idea, I don't know if i'd ever do this though, I'm not a huge fan of allies (or Codex: Imperium) in general.
