1. The attack bike is not a vehicle, but a troop.
2. Non-Vehicles need bases.
3. The attack bike doesn't come with a base. (Mine didn't, anyway.)

So, do I not need to worry about a base? It should have been provided, I think.

Attack bikes don't come with bases (neither do normal SM bikes - only scout bikes come with the new ones) but do look better with them.

I recommend large flying bases or 60mm round (IG hvy weapon size) - although a mate uses cut up beer mats and they look fine.

Rules wise you shouldn't have a problem whichever way.

My normal marine bike boxes had bases in them, both the ravenwing box sets and the new marine bikers. As for the Attack bike i put mine on bases for ease.

To answer your question:
No, they're not required.

To give you a tip:

I'd put a cavalry base or maybe even a 40mm base, just to keep 'em standing.

If you don't want to base your bikes, but still want to keep them standing - glue a short length of brass rod under the each of the riders feet so that it touches the table when laid flat, this adds stability without the need for a base.

Myself? I'd base them. If you can't find GW bases in the right size, check out Gale Force Nine's 'Pill' shaped bases - they also come magnetized of you want easy storage

EDIT: I've just read the actual title of the topic - I'd still base an attack bike if all your other bikes are based, for the look of the thing. 60mm round is the size to shoot for.

**Gwar!**

Yup, not needed (as they do not come with one) but encouraged.
