helterskelter Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I think you accept that when you choose to put them on bikes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theredknight Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 while i am not overly excited by regular jetbikes, I think there is a lot of potential for command squads mounted on bikes - lots of powerweapons with fast mobility, special rules (standard bearer is awesome) such as fearless and taking challenges etc... Praetor on JetBike and Paragon Blade = 170ptsCommand Squad, 2 Additional Chosen, 5 Bikes, 5 Power Weapons = 365pts = 535pts That's a lot of points for Power Weapons. Think a normal squad is about 230/250?They are a praetor delivery system lol I don't like command squads on bikes. Unless you are white scars..or dark Angels I suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminus Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 I'm not a huge fan of the jetbikes, although the 2+ armour does help. Use them as a trouble-shooting squad with h.bolters/volkite for light infantry clean-up, and meltabombs to deal with monstrous creatures and armour. There is no point in investing more into the unit by giving them a geared-out sarge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Cohort Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 RAW, Sally jetbikes can swap all their HB to Heavy Flamers but if you do it squad wide before buying special weapons, you technically wouldnt be able to anymore since the entry specifies, iirc, swapping their HB for VC/PC/MM. Order of operations Do you really need a different heavy weapon at that point though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frater Cornelius Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Deathguard Jetbikes are solid. They benefit from MTC and the Power Scythes is pretty decent as well due to their large base size. Not in slightest bit fluffy though :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armond Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Sure it is, Legions used any and everything to some degree. I guarantee there was a fast attack company in the Death Guard somewhere. If you dream it, you can be it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in slightest bit fluffy though :D It's just a shame that only Characters can take them, so no Command Squads with bitchin' big blades to accompany your Warlord.

Armond Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I have twelve of these bikes and am rolling ideas around in my head on what to do with them. Thinking Blood Angels based on some fast attack goodness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
