Nice to see his bike is a bit more blinged out, but a bit hard to get too excited, it is almost exactly as expected. 

 

Funny that its 2nd company too, maybe just acting as backup for Titus ;)

The Captain is fine, good even.

 

But why is there a refusal to allow dynamism on Outrider bikes? Those bikes are just begging for a wheelie, or some level of movement at all to not make them feel like a brick that has been cemented to the ground.

 

The Captain himself is good, the weapons show some fun variation, so do the heads and helms, the armour is cool. I really want to like it, the bike itself is not even ugly, its just so darned static...

Looks good. That sword is clearly trying to evoke a White Scar character.

Glad this model finally exists. Nice selection of weapons. He can look a lot better with just a helmet swap, using one of the chapter specific options.

Finally, another generic bike character for Outriders.

 

Based on builds, I'm guessing you can take the Plasma pistol and the Power Sword but probably not Plasma Pistol and TH.

 

Also noticing an increase in UM crested helmets.

I want to like it but it's just a space marine on a bike... with a little cape and some ornaments.

Compared to wazdakka gutsmek which they released a month or two ago it just seems so boring. I can't remember the last time I saw a space marine model and thought 'Wow, that's really cool'.

Praise be, brother.

The White Scrafs have waited too long, and have been treated too poorly for the last few editions. I think they suffered more than the other chapters simply because there wasn't a generic mounted character options, outside of the Chaplain.

"I see a blue bike and I want it painted black..... No colour any more......"

Actually, no. I'll happily wait for real Ravenwing bikes and character models.....

This does what it says on the tin but to me is nothing special and I am still so much more excited for Orks than marines  at the moment.

Now for the chapter to train lieutenants, librarians and techmarines to also ride bikes. Tho some of them dont even know how to use a jet pack yet. These primaris are so lazy with their gear training.

Listen Mick Jagger, not everyone here is going to get that reference. :wink:

 

I do hope that when Ravenwing/Black Knights get an upgrade, Sammael gets a stylish new jetbike.

Yeah, really uninspiring.

I'm happy on the whole. Just how I like my Captains, ornate without being overly busy. But the wee crux terminatus on the faring annoys me. It looks lazy. I will forgive them that because HAMMMER!

 

It does appear to be suffering from 'the least imaginative way to assemble these components'-itis. But on the whole I am satisfied.

 

Perfect timing as well since all the Intercessors and Landspeeders I've obtained from Armageddon are being painted as Ultramarines 7th Company.

Not hating the idea of this guy for my second Outrider squad alongside Suboden and his guys tbh

 

I was kinda hoping for some different guns on Outriders, but I'll be able to make do with thunder hammers I guess lol.

 

Mainly stoked that the captain kit will get me enough bits to give my two sergeants power weapons as well.

 

Cheers,

 

The Good Doctor. 

The model is whatever, it's a very generic Captain on a Bike. Plenty of options in the kit, I'm sure people will have fun.

 

The real boon is that we'll once again have a Datasheet, and from that you can kitbash to your heart's content, or bring back the model that has quietly sat on the shelf for X years.

No tactical rock? :biggrin:

 

I am not that fond of the bike eagle ornaments. Too bulky maybe? And the selection of heads is not for my taste. But it is a great add-on to the army list. Although a Lieutenant on bike would have been what I would have expected instead of a captain. Not the greatest model of all times but it will do the job.

Excited to see a new kit for the Bike Captain, I'll probably get one eventually, but 'm in no rush. My White Scars friend will love this, not just for the Captain, but for extra conversion bits if the kits is well designed too. 

 

As someone who has been playing against the Legends version of this guy for a while now, if he keeps the Strat at -1 that is typical for captains, I think he will be pretty good (points dependent of course). Evasive Maneuvers (and whatever the Outrider Detachment version is, I forget) is a solid defensive buff to be able to toss out for free on bikes that can basically make them immune to small arms fire.
