Is a IG on a segway cool?

Segways aren't but does putting and IG on it make it cool?

"...More Space Marines that you can poke a stick at..."

95% of teens would go into a panic attack if the jonas brothers were about to jump off the empire state building copy and paste this if you are the 5% who would pull up a lawn chair grab some popcorn and yell JUMP BITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Depends. If you do an entire squad of them, then no. If you do a unit of rough riders with a SINGLE model who is instead on a segway...then it becomes awesome.

Awesometastic. Greatnourmous. Humongood. That is what a guard on a segway is.

NO! that should definitely NOT be a rule!!!! Thats just gross! I don't want some slaanesh warrior charging me, Screaming a BloodLust filled roar, with his Jolly Roger Flopping around!!!! Thats just gross! I mean.....if it was a female warrior and she wasn't that bad looking, I think I could capture a few prisoners. My 'Interrogation' skill will be most useful then - Commissar NIkev

We're not very big on official rules. Rules lead to people looking for loopholes. What's here is about it.

I still think they need 3d glasses, and maybe laptops... also orange reflective jumpsuits..

I still dig the idea of rough riders on Worgs or Cold Ones. How many of you guys actually use them though? I mean IG in Sentinels makes more sense.

For my wolf riders I have been doing a number of different things. One rides a bull, another rides an old Nid Carnifex, another with a modified bike with a wolf head on the front, but my next one will be a segway rider.

So much win!

Now, if you shoot a gun on those, do you fall back and then get back up again like one of those inflatable punching bags?
Or if I remember their operation correctly, after you fire, you go backwards at high speed (at least high speed for the Segway).

You scratch build them. I used the under-carriage for a space marine bike (not a scout bike), the handles for a space marine bike, the arm from a scout biker, the wheels from a bike, a bit of sprue for the axel, and a bit of sprue for the shaft.

Meh, I think it sort of reeks of "tries too hard". Awesome in theory, but I think once it's on the board it's gonna look like you made a whole squad doing the macarena - too faddish to be truly inspired.

Now, if you put a buncha Cadians in low riders....

I'm not like them, but I can pretend.

I've gotta say 'NOT COOL'.

The segway was a naff idea at the time and it still is.

It's as silly as all of those chuck norris wannabe-internet meme things all rolled into one.
