I have been playing bikes for about 2 months now and am curious what size bike squads you would run and why...I have been running my squads at 6+ attack bike but am considering dropping down to 5 or even 4. I have been playing all of my games at 1500 points but am ready to jump my force up to 1850. If I drop a few bikes per squad I can afford an additional squad which means more special/attack bikes which may make up for the low number squads. I have not been a big fan of full 8 man squads as they are a bit too big and would rather just have one additional squad of bikes. Though tac out is nice and am considering a singe full 8 man squad.
Here is the list I am thinking of running at 1850 with bikes squads at 4+1
150 Captain on bike with Lightening Claw
175: 4 Bikes w/ 2 Flamers & Combi Flamer w/ Heavy Bolter Attack Bikes
