<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Chaos Knight Bikers?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Chaos Knight Bikers? 40K bikers. lol.
Here are a few reasons I came up with:

1- the box costs about $30 and comes with 5 knights, while a single biker costs $15

2- I already have a squad of Chaos Marines converted from Fantasy Chaos Warriors, so the 'bikers' would match.

3- The knights just look awesome lol.

What do you all think? If someone fielded dudes on horses and said they were bikers, would you be cool with it? Also, I'm wondering if they may need new rules... like instead of counting as bikes, count them as cavalry, like the rough riders. Get rid of the hyperboost ability and the 'all difficult terrain is dangerous' thing.

lol I dunno. What do you all think?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226252/503272.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226252/503272.page GMT Chaos Knight Bikers?
%99 of the time I see someone use chaos knights as bikers (or worse bloodcrushers) I was think "what a cheapass." You would be the %1 of the people who can pull it off (since your marines are already chaos warriors.

You definatily can't mess with the rules that a big no-no. Put them on bike bases and you'll be fine.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226252/503356.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226252/503356.page GMT Chaos Knight Bikers? lol, all righty. XD thanks for the feedback]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226252/503361.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226252/503361.page GMT Chaos Knight Bikers? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226252/503368.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226252/503368.page GMT Chaos Knight Bikers? If it fits in with the rest of your army, then you should go for it.

The cavalry rules aren't quite as good as the bike rules, so there shouldn't be any balance issues with switching them out.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226252/503369.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226252/503369.page GMT Chaos Knight Bikers?

Paint the horses metallic, sort of like they are a highly stylized sort of mechanism, like those steam and clockwork things that the ancient Greeks would make, with the twin-linked bolters mounted on the neck. That's exactly the sort of insanity that 40K has lost sight of since 2nd edition. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226252/503381.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226252/503381.page GMT Chaos Knight Bikers? lol they'd just 'count' as bikes. I want them to have the look of 'Ancient warriors of Chaos mounting demonic horses and charging into battle with boltpistols and chainswords!' lol...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226252/503397.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226252/503397.page GMT Chaos Knight Bikers?

bravo on this very "nice" idea. more like moronic though. whatever happened to telling them at the start of the game?


@The Grundel Cheap ass? i think deciding on getting into a hobby such as this is far from being a cheap ass.


@Karoline Go for it, dont need to do anything with the horse just find a way to put on the TL bolters on them and let the player know at the start of the game.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226252/503435.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226252/503435.page GMT Chaos Knight Bikers?
And make sure you give the knights weaponry that would reflect the times.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226252/503439.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226252/503439.page GMT Chaos Knight Bikers?
but hey, since my army is Slaanesh-based... what should the horses look like? I was thinking black horses with flaming mane, tail, and hooves... but that seems a little too... Khorny XD

any ideas other than just making them purple?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226252/503448.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226252/503448.page GMT Chaos Knight Bikers? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226252/503454.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226252/503454.page GMT Chaos Knight Bikers? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226252/503460.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226252/503460.page GMT Chaos Knight Bikers?
For the horse itself just do a plain black basecoat, then for the metal try Boltgun Metal, inked black with an extreme highlight of Mithril Silver, then cover with marks of slaanesh in Tentacle Pink (or 1:1 Warlock Purple to Skull White)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226252/572246.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226252/572246.page GMT Chaos Knight Bikers?

deep purple skin highlight up to either light purple or even pink.. orange manes, tails and hooves with a bit of yellow/white in there too. and make their armor bronze or brass.. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226252/572377.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226252/572377.page GMT Chaos Knight Bikers? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226252/572493.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226252/572493.page GMT Chaos Knight Bikers?
i also used marauders and marauder horsemen as the basis of a traitor guard army to go with it, and i've never met anyone who's bothered

i'd say go for it ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226252/572627.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226252/572627.page GMT
