How would you upgrade outriders and ATVs?

[Evil Eye]

Outriders and ATVs could definitely benefit from new proper kits with actual options. With the Invader in particular, aside from its crippling lack of IED protection (read: the lazy gits at GW gave it the Rogal Dorn underside protection system, which is to say none) and IMO at least need for a less Mario Kart design, it could do with some more weapon options. A heavy bolter would be nice (as with the multi-melta option it'd then be a true successor/proxy to the venerable attack bike) but I'd also give it the options of a heavy flamer (for close-range horde toasting) and an autocannon (enabling it to act as a high-mobility counter to light armour and monsters). As for Outriders, access to special weapons would definitely help.

Heavy flamer is legit and would be fun to take with the combo squad since they wanna get in close currently.

A Lastalon on the ATV would be nice. For the Outriders I would probably be happy if they just gave the Serg melee weapon options so they could hit harder a wet noodle.

Meh, the difference between a MultiMelta and a Lastalon is pretty minor.  Fixing Twin Linked is higher on my list - as is 3+ATV and an optional 3+ATV or 5 + 5 or 5+ 3+ATV.  Make it a 5/10 Unit, and yes I'd like to see a hidden Power Fist on the Serg, as well as some sort of Tank Killer for 1 per five and the Serg in the Jump Pack Assault Intercessors etc - alternately borrowing the Anti-X on the Charge from the Ravenwing Unit has some potential - but this double whammy on harder to kill tanks, and fewer tank killing melee...

S10 vs S9 can be a pretty big difference on the wound roll, not to mention minimum 2 damage vs minimum 1 damage.
