Just looking through the codex I've noticed that Bikers are given slugga and choppa with a standard base of two attacks. Does this mean that they now get 4 attacks on the charge? I'm also curious, if you give a Nob the bike, would he keep his four attacks as well since he comes with a slugga and choppa?


Thnx,

there once was a White Scar list in a White Dwarf which stated that White Scar Space Marines are the only ones who can get a 2 CC-Weapon Bonus while riding a bike since they are so damn good at it.

until that point I never have heard of such a rule and heard of it again...

....so I suppose they get an extra attack for the two weapons.

and don't forget that biker bosses have 3 standart attacks

There are no more restrictions for being on a bike in regards to using weapons unless your Codex states so.

I do believe all of the Codex rules have been updated to reflect this studio design change.

Im pretty sure in the rulebook however it states that bikes cant use two CC weapons because they need one hand to control the bike.

Nope. That is no longer a rule. It was a codex-specific rule that went away with each new codex.

Dark Eldar are the only race that haven't figured out how to ride with their thighs while fighting with two close-combat weapons.

Actually the orks have had specific rules allowing them to be inzane enough to drop the handles and fight with both hands but this was back in 3rd edition.

Under 4th edition there are no rules that state a model on a bike can not use both hands in CC and thus it all depends on if the model has 2 one handed CC weapons or not.
