Seeing as Sammael does not have Hit and Run, I dont think it fits on the regular Jet Bikes.

I would make the jetbikes an upgrade to Ravenwing squads, since you are swapping regular bikes for jetbikes (+5 points) and TL Bolters for TL Storm Bolters (2 points?).

OR if the Bike Sammael rides is an example of a regular imperial Jetbike, make the Jetbikes replacements for the Land Speeder and Attack Bike, and only allow the 'Attack jet bike' as an option. You add 1 Jetbike for the attack bike switch, or 2 Jetbikes for the Landspeeder switch.

i like the idea for the attack bike swap.
in regards to sammy's bike, i consider that more a "articifer" jetbike, kinda like the armour some marines wear.

for hit and run, well, sammy should have hit and run but thats another argument lol, also if sammy had IC on his profile this would have been a command sqaud as oposed to a 0-1 unit

I'd advise cutting Hit&Run, I can't see any reason why it should be there.

I compared this to an Eldar Jetbike and got the "reasonably-priced" answer, so other than the Hit&Run issue, go for it.

ok seems fair, i also forgot to give them fearless, kind of a no brainer given that there ravenwing

Hrmmm.... I don't really think they fit DA, or any SM. Land Speeders do just fine.

I like the idea, It would give them a unique unit that would separate them from the White Scars.

I would drop hit and run and reduce the mounted guns to TL bolters, the same as the bikes.

Not a fan of the idea of heavy weapons mounted on them though, maybe create a Attack Jetbike ( I think this was mentioned earlier) too.
