As the title says - would these additional options be great for variety or OP? I got the idea from some players at my local GW who swear it'll come up in the new DA (and possibly) SM Codex but I feel it's just wishful thinking and grossly unbalanced for an already great model, especially since 6th edition. What are your thoughts Dakka?

Depending on the cost it could be awesome and reasonably balanced, really. I'd definitely use more Ravenwing units if I had plasma cannon Attack Bikes.

The scuttlebutt is that Ravenwing is getting plasma cannons on their attack bikes as it is.

"'players must agree how they are going to select their armies, and if any restrictions apply to the number and type of models they can use."
This is an actual rule in the actual rulebook. Quit whining about how you can imagine someone's army touching you in a bad place and play by the actual rules.

Flamers on Bikes is one of those things that comes under the category of Undeniable Bad Idea.
Either you stop to fire the flamer, and lose the benefits of the bike (especially as in-game it's an assault weapon!) or you carry on driving and end up engulfing yourself and not much else.

Ah but here you are obviously forgetting GWs massive boner for SMs. Besides this is 40K-we have psycho mushrooms and elven hedonists......
