Not even Kor'sarro Khan does now. He just makes them have Scout rule.
you just need to put your landspeeders into one unit and put your bikes into one unit as Fast Attack and list is legal again.
Sorry if there's been an
FAQ i'm not aware about on Captains and Bikes
You are wrong (sorry). Any
HQ makes bike squads (of any size) troops. They moved the rule from the Captain’s entry to the Bike’s, which is why you might have missed it.
On the list:
Points allowing, you might want to upgrade the captain to a chapter master. And get the lib a bike to join him.
I think your bikes would be better off with melta/grav guns. Melta needs the speed, grav needs the relentless. Stuff that needs to be hit with flamers can probably be dealt with by the bike’s bolters, but all of the nasty stuff on today’s battlefield needs something better to take down, and bikes are great place to put those guns.
Talion is no longer an upgrade for a scout squad, but his own
HQ pick. You already have 2
HQs, so I’d drop him.
If the lib moves out of the
tac squad, they could be bumped up to a full 10 man squad. Some nice perks there (plus it’s what the Codex tells us to field)
In general I’m not a fan of
DS’ing assault troops. If you want to do some precision drop work with the flamers, getting some locator beacons in the list can be viable. But I’d advance them behind a rhino/cover and then spring out to attack. If you have spare points, getting the sarge a vet upgrade and a power weapon can be nice.
Not a huge fan of 2xHB speeders. Mostly because for a few points more you can have TML/
HB speeders, which are far more flexible in the targets they can take down. If you want to mangle light troops, those 100 points might be better spent on a
TFC.
Devs are fine.
Ultramarines are a good catch-all
CT for general use. You are using bikes prominantly, so White Scars is also a good pick. IF and
IH are also good generalist choices. Overall I think your list is very light on anti-tank fire. Unless your local meta is very horde-centric, I’d drop some of it to get some bigger guns into your list.
No easy to use formations leap out at me. I’m sure you could re-jigger things to use some, but it would take a bit of work. A
CAD should serve you reasonably well. Once you get some more games under your belt, then you can look at changing things up.
Best of luck, and good hunting.
