MP!! ... Awesome!!

Hey Aldebaran!

Good to see the progress and the bikes alongside other elements of your army. This is a supercool project.

Hey thank you

update again:

aw heck, I've got model envy again. This is going to be an awesome army. What are you using for an hq? Do you have a list together?

Might be a bit late now to mod but I saw a friends Master of the Forge on a bike and he used Tau phirrana pieces to futurise the bike. Also stretched it a little. I love the bikes though. I'm addind an attack bike squad into my army as well and will have to follow your lead. Have a bunch of scout bikers too. Not sure if I'd want to do them the same. Nice work man.

Is this the space marine biker nob equivelent army?

Here is the list @2000 I am building for the 6th december (god thanks I have some holidays left !)
to attend a tournament with it.

Iron hands Clan Ulgoth - Mechanized Rapid Strike Force

HQ
Brother Andarius the machine man - Captain on Monowheel bike, with Adeptus Mechanicus' Vibro-axe (as a Relic blade) @165
(I plan to link the man to a special bike using bionics.
He could remove his legs and be connected directly on a machine.
Maybe I won't have time to finish him til the tournament, but I will do before the end of the year.)

Elite
Dreadnought Ankra - Twin linked Autocanons x2 @125
Dreadnought Memra - Twin linked Autocanons x2 @125
(The two were geminis brother before becaming Space Marine,
they like to have same weapons :p)
Morlock honors, 10 Assault terminators, 2LC, 8TH/SS
(To be combat splitted in the two LRs)


As Troops
4 Monowheel bikes, 1 assault bike with MM @185
8 Monowheel bikes, 1 assault bike with MM, sergeant with melta bombs @290,
(to be splitted in two,and the captain will go with the 4 man squad to have 3 x 5 man bike squads as troops.)

Support
Dedicated LRC, MM, enhanced armor @275
LRR, MM, enhanced armor @265
Predator, HBs, autocannon @85
Predator, HBs, autocannon @85

Supercool crazy stuff. I like the twin linked autocannon Dreads... can I get a close up of the models? I'm curios about what you did for them...

Hey Aldebaran,

I notice the 165 points for the hq, is this going to be a counts as Kahn (on bike) so your bikes are a troop choice? Or is there something I missed in the codex/different codex thing going on?

@Fhadhq

I hope there's no special treatment, I hope too not to be the looser

ps : It's my wife !

@ Pendrecki

No, it's normal Captain on bike,
but it works too to count bikers as troops, check Captain codex entry

I asked myself about Khan, but :

- It makes the army feel like a White Scars one,

- My bikes are not focused on CC, but are shooty one, more IH style IMO,

- I want to be able to disengage from CC if bikers are ever lock in CC through Combat tactics,
which is not possible if I take Khan...

Cool!

Oh yeah, I forgot to actually read the codex... that helps huh! Actually thanks for the headsup... I hadn't seen that entry before. Funny how many things in out sm codex are really cool and sneaky like that.

For me replaceing Kahns fluff and keeping his mechanics in the game works really well...he's a very suitable RG captain. I play scouts (wow is there an echo in here? I'm always saying that) so its fun to put him in with the footsloggers.

It is good to hear other wives are playing woohoo!

Pen

Great looking army. Amazing, actually.

do your bike squads have melta-guns included?
