I was just wondering if it was feasible to start a White Scars army with the elements in the Assault on Black Reach set, and then expanding it to include the bikes and speeders and such. Would White Scars use dreadnoughts and terminators? I have always wanted to do a White Scars army, due to the background and paint scheme. I was just wondering if Tac Squads in Rhinos would be a feasible starting point for one. I would appreciate any feedback or advice!

Not really. A White Scars army should be based on Bikers. You need at least 4 Biker squads with added Assault Bikes. The remaining force should complement the Bikers well, like Assault Bike squadrons with multimeltas or Landspeeders.
Its more fluffy to stay away from footsloggers and supporting tanks.

In the new codex, I am not seeing an option to take bikes as troop choices. Have I overlooded something?

Thank You!

I guess with the stuff that I have collected for Space Marines since second edition, I would be better off creating my own chapter. I just need to come up with a theme, since I have Space Wolves stuff, Dark Angels stuff, Ultramarines, and other assorted pieces. I would appreciate any thoughts or guidance that you could provide!
