I have decided to put my Command Squad and Captain on Bikes and was wondering how i should kit out my CS. My Captain already has a Power Sword and Storm Shield, and i was thinking of 3 Grav Veterans, an Apothecary, and Champion for the Command Squad. Is this good or not? Please tell me why and how i can improve it.

Who knows? 8th edition will probably change whatever I think is right. Who knows if bikes are even worth while anymore?!

Let us forget 8th Edition and think 7th Edition while it is still in use.

Those are all good options.

I would consider running Plasma over Grav, or magnetize the bikes so you have both options available to switch between.

I like Plasma guns for the added range and also the ability for raw damage output as far as weapon strength is concerned. Also, plasma will likely be better all around against high toughness targets (which look to be far more prevalent in the current edition). Also, you apothecary gives the added feel no pain roll to your plasma gunners in-case you overheat and fail your save.

My only other suggestion would be to consider throwing some storm shields on one or two of your three Grav/Plas bikes for added survival options.

Hope that helps. Take it easy.
