Subject: Space Marine Bikes - Done Right / Dark Angels with Marine Allies
Bike Squads x 2
- 5 Extra Bikes
- 2 x Plasma Guns
- Attack Bike: Multi Melta
- SGT: Power Fist
Total: 2500pts
---------------------------------
List is fast and can summon some serious support with the Terminators and the Dread once the bikes start mixing it up. All of which can be summoned down with the ravenwing squads. Also has plenty of heavy armour destruction with MM bikes. Let me know what you think. List came to me last night as I was thinking of costing a bike army right and not getting robbed with to many expensive ravenwing squads. Also with plenty of fast objective grabbing troops.

Its interesting. I agree at 2500 its pretty easy to get alot of what you want and need. I am kinda wondering why the dread has a plasma cannon if it is DP'ing? I like the plasma dread but I think it would be better suited on the board to begin with. Maybe adding another one would be the sweet spot.
But I agree also why have the allies when you can just take more ravenwing. I would like to see a libby in there as well.

I would only take the extra bikers for the apothecary squad. Just run the ravenwing all in small units, double melta/plasma with 3 bikers that have fearless will be your best bet despite giving away more victory points.
Not sure the two biker armies combine well at all. They are just not point effective and neither really boosts the other.
Compare to runepriests on bikes or BA librarian on bikes that can be a nice little boost, whilst they bring some other form of attack for you.
In your list probably take a MotF on a bike either with big gun or harness, then bring three drop pods.
You probably want some antiflyer thing from them.
I would not play 2500 points as everyone now wants double FoC, playing single FOC at high points dualwing armies are good.
