I looking at building a SM biker list and I'm just wondering what is the most optimal set up for bike units? Do you want to run MSU with 3 man units (with 2 grav and combi grav) or would it be better get some extra bike in the unit to have some guys in the way to take wounds before the special weapons do?

What do you guys think?

I always buy the extra body or two. Otherwise don't go all out. Keep it 3-5 dudes, Grav Guns, Combi-Grav and Multi-Malta Bike optional.

I'm always gonna vote for min/max. Easier to LOS 3 bikes than 5. Outflank, LOS, minimize damage as best as you can until you reach a target. I'd rather have 9 bikes with all special weapons, than 6 bikes with specials and 4-5 naked ones.

Grav spam or Melta special team. Keep the weaponry the same, but keep them on the flanks until you need to use em. Obviously WS outflank makes them 10x better.
