...Scars remains an awesome book, though.
This. White Scars are probably my favorite first founding Chapter and I thought about collecting them when I got back into the tabletop, but with it being pretty clear that Primaris are the future of the marine line, I haven't done so yet since there are no Primaris Bikes or Speeders and who wants to make a White Scars army without bikes or speeders? Since the new Codex dropped and it doesn't include Primaris Bikes/Speeders and we got Kor'sarro Khan on foot, I'm not even sure they have plans to do so. So until those units are available, I'll wait.
I want to make them with out BIkes, because the White Scars are about Rapid Assaults in addition to bikes. So highly mobile infantry also are a part of what they do.
That’s very true they don’t have to be on bikes all the time.
In fact in fluff terms bog standard tactical marine in rhino used to be core unit. Primaris have changed structure but seeing no primaris bike not to bike heavier direction anyway
