Would it overbalance units of bikes and jump infantry if said units were to gain a +1 to initiative on the turn they charge? (I would propose further that this addition would stack with the furious charge special rule.)

Do Blood Angels infantry really need to be S5 I6 on the charge? I propose that this is silly.

If you had to implement such an idea it would probably be better off giving all Calvary/Bikes/Jumppacks Furious Charge instead, to account for the engine assisted charging.

Storm and Biker Boyz would be SOOO much better.

I agree with Furious Charge if anything. Not sure exactly why being on a bike helps you fight in hand to hand though. Seems like it would get in the way.

I would be fine with this, with perhaps a cost adjustment. Be mindful though that only 1 in 6 units will have this awesome combo; but that they'll be going at the same initiative as Death Cult Assassins, that the two will probably destroy each other, and that the DCAs are still cheaper. This is probably true of Wytches too.

I buy that as a good compromise. I do feel that Calvary already have the advantage of fleet of whatever.

Yeap, although I already think that Stormboys are worth the 12 points, but that's different argument.
