These days I'm running bike-heavy White Scars lists. Here's a modular list; at each points level (1000-1500-1750-2000), I simply add more stuff. It's not meant to be tailored for any particular opponent or tournament, but I found that this kind of list excels against MEQs and other armies with low model counts.

I'm always using the good old Combined Arms detachment. From 1500 points and up, I'm running two such detachments. No formations. With Kor'sarro on a bike, I can make my bikers scout. I favor Divination for my librarians, since it's versatile and I like re-rolls to hit for my plasma guns. Plus, Scrier's Gaze is useful for my reserves.

I would suggest reduce one Bike Squad to make the others 5men unit, thus they are more resilient to moral check, although Marines have And They Shall Know No Fear, but falling back 3D6 might put your unit out of position in your incoming turn.

Besides, I would suggest changes the loadout of your Command Squad and at least three other Biker Squads into Grav guns. And add an Apothecary into the Command Squad.

Also, maybe the Biker Libby taking Hunter's eye is good, so you will always have Ignore cover.

Good point, but I lack the "naked" bikers at the moment. Some players on another site recommend to field 3-man units to max out on special weapons, but I like having at least two meatshields for those expensive plasma guns.

I just think grav guns lack flexibility. Then again, I've never fielded them. They do get more shots (3 for bikers since they're relentless), and they don't Get Hot. Perhaps I should try them out, using meltagun models as "counts as".

Will definitely consider an apothecary, although it comes at the cost of a special weapon.
