Bikers... they move into difficult terrain, they need to take a terrain test. Great.
If they want to launch an assault against a unit during the same turn, do they need to take another dangerous terrain test in the same turn?

Also, when they consolidate after a close combat in dangerous terrain, do they need a dangerous terrain test?
I was under the impression from reading the rules that you take 1 dangerous terrain test per turn if your entering / exiting terrain, but i'm unsure if this is correct, and i'm going to a tournament tomorrow where this will matter.

Yes, to both. Just remember you don't HAVE to move when you consolidate. If you don't move, you won't cause a test.

damn, they don't make these rules friendly to bikers, do they? 1/3 of my army will die if I assault into difficult terrain, from the effects of the terrain itself :-/

Yea, but thay have other advantedges to make up for it. Give and Take, that's pretty much the basis of 40K IMO.

I thought you only made one DT per phase, so the consolidate wouldnt trigger another one?

Actually, you don't have to take a dangerous terrain test when you consolidate after an assault. Look under the consolidation section on pg. 40 of the big rule book.
