What is there to think about? The kits are totally compatible.

Easy way: buy the squad box of plastic figures, build them sans one arm & legs, attach them to plastic biker legs w/ a biker arm. For the standard bearer there are multiple ways to go about that, the easiest way would be having him holding it but that's not neccessarily the best way, the best way would probably be to make a special standard trailing behind the bike on a banner pole, the IG standards would work well for this. As for a techmarine, use parts from the SM LR command sprue for the torso, head & shoulder pads, use biker arm & like a power axe arm such as the SW one, then use an old metal techmarine backpack w/ servo arm for him.

Like they said, its all simple.
However, for the standard bearer, I would use one biker arm and one for the standard and have him holding it. Looks cooler than trailing IMO.

Sounds good, I was thinking about having maybe some storm shields too, where to mount them? On the side of the bikes or any other way?
