The Cluster Mines are great fun. Keeping opponents weary about terrain and randomly killing off a few troopers here and there can be hilarious. If you can guess what terrain his eldar pathfinders will be deployed in you will have won a great deal of points (~ 3 killed=72p and a morale check) and hilarity right there.

Apart from that, you might want to give them a PF or a combi-melta to scare tanks with.

Alternatively, give them grenade launchers if you expect to have a lot of turns without turboboosting. They can be a nuisance for light vehicles or tightly packed hordes since they will generally be on different places than the rest of your army.

Don't expect them to do impressive things in CC, or to kill a lot of things, use them as support to get deepstrikers where you want them, be annoying and unpredictable or hunt down weakened squads. Maybe even contest an objective at the end.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234209/628828.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234209/628828.page GMT Scout Bike Loadouts? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234209/628842.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234209/628842.page GMT Scout Bike Loadouts? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234209/628857.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234209/628857.page GMT Scout Bike Loadouts? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234209/628898.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234209/628898.page GMT Scout Bike Loadouts? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234209/628947.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234209/628947.page GMT Scout Bike Loadouts?

But to go back to Scout Bikers, yes Locator Beacon is 100% needed, and I would Suggest just keeping it nice and cheap, and trying to keep it from being shot to bits untill your pods can scream down.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234209/629011.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234209/629011.page GMT Scout Bike Loadouts? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234209/629233.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234209/629233.page GMT Scout Bike Loadouts?

I'm pretty sure that the mines only go off if the unit in the terrain actually moves which is infrequent in the case of pathfinders.

Sarpedon: good luck with the flooding... weather's been crazy everywhere this year.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234209/629532.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234209/629532.page GMT Scout Bike Loadouts?

OT, The 100 year flood is the flood event that has a 1% chance of occuring in a given year.
So, a 200 year flood would have 0.5% chance of occuring in a given year. A 500 year flood has a 0.2% chance of occuring in a year. A 2-year flood has a 50% chance of occuring in a given year.

But, since most water bodies are out of their channel well before hitting the 100 year flood, the difference in the height of flood waters between a 100 year and a 200 year event is typically little since they're in the wide flood plain.

Beyond that, there is the PMF - the Probable Maximum Flood. This is the flood event that is never supposed to happen and it has no frequency. There is also the 25% PMF and 50% PMF, which are still huge floods, but not as large. The PMF is used for dam design and lesser hazard dams can typically use the 25% or the 50% PMF event.

I hope you make it through the flooding without problem. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234209/629542.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234209/629542.page GMT Scout Bike Loadouts? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234209/629545.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234209/629545.page GMT Scout Bike Loadouts?

Hmm, yes, that might be true. I must admit that sounds like a very reasonable interpretation of the rules. I might have to be a gentleman enough to let my regular opponents know we have done it wrong :-/]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234209/630040.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234209/630040.page GMT Scout Bike Loadouts?
If the marine player goes first, it virtually guarantees I will lose a tank (auto hit, kraks & melta vs armor 10). The alternative is that I start with everything in reserve, which carries downsides of its own.

That's a hell of a lot of bang for, what, 75 points?

Autohits in CC ftw.

I like to use them with Grenade Launchers and a Melta (grenades on the 2 scouts and melta on the Sarge). Yes a bit more expensive, but deliciously epic against light tanks.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234209/632078.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234209/632078.page GMT Scout Bike Loadouts?

We bagged 36 Cubic yards of sand in the past couple of days, but the level is supposedly going to go over our dikes. Oh well I guess I'll leave it to FEMA.

For some Utterly Bizarre Reason they Gave the Scouts both a Bolt Pistol and a Shotgun, since both are worse than the Relentless Bike Mounted Bolter I assume these were included to accommodate older models, but those 2 don't do anything regarding attacks.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234209/639423.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234209/639423.page GMT Scout Bike Loadouts?
it seems to me like the grenade launchers should be fairly amazing for 10 points each. with relentless 2 frag templates per launcher per turn seems like a pretty decent volume of fire for a reasonable 10 points. seem like they should be very strong vs hordes and light armor type dudes (tau, guard, orcs, etc). am i off base here?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234209/644112.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234209/644112.page GMT Scout Bike Loadouts? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234209/644121.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234209/644121.page GMT Scout Bike Loadouts?
although i dont currently have any DS elements in my list I have been thinking about adding at least 1 pod for 1 of my ironclads. Scout bikes with a beacon would be sweet for this but I have also been contemplating a squad of scouts in a storm and giving them a beacon so I can pod my ironclad somewhere nasty to tarpit a unit, then charge my scouts into the already locked group to break them with the cerb launcher leadership modifier.

As I said before, its just to accommodate older models. Plus its balance. Scout Bikes that can move 36" (Scout+Normal) then assault with 3 attacks each (4 for the sarge) is too much, even for marieenz]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234209/644975.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234209/644975.page GMT Scout Bike Loadouts? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234209/645477.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234209/645477.page GMT Scout Bike Loadouts? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234209/645732.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234209/645732.page GMT Scout Bike Loadouts? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234209/645790.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/234209/645790.page GMT
