(yes I know about the 4+save, BS3, and expensive cost, eldar have all these too, and much lower toughness and somehow manage). Or alternatively, trying for the frag at S3 with 6 shots sounds like it could put a bunch of wounds on a unit (and mitigate some of the BS issue).

you can give him this weapon to give him something to shoot.


it can also be fired in addition to other weapons so even if he does have a gun he can fire both. a Frag Blast or Krak shot can be a nice little extra bit of fire power.

on bikers they could zip around for side and rear shots with Krak pretty handly. i would only do it in a full bike army though. Cluster mines are what you really get out of Scout bikers.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330767/2170173.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330767/2170173.page GMT Astartes Grenade Launcher
Characters on Bikes keep their twin linked Bolters, So a Bike with a TH/SS, or pair of lightning Claws is a good Idea(Ranged and CC attacks, where you can only normally get the CC attacks; unless of course you take an Auxiliary GL).

Templar: Bikers can only Fire one gun per Rider(unless the Character is also equipped with the Auxiliary GL, which can be fired in addition), So Scout Bikers cannot fire the Astartes GL and their Pistols.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330767/2170225.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330767/2170225.page GMT Astartes Grenade Launcher http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330767/2170235.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330767/2170235.page GMT Astartes Grenade Launcher

Ah, didn't catch that the character one was only assault 1 and lower range. TY. 15 points for a single S6 shot doesn't sound like the greatest deal now. Why give the assault rule to the one, and the rapid fire rule to the other? Bikes are relentless, so it doesn't matter if it is RF. I'll just put the auxiliary launcher on the cool idea, bad pricing.

The scout bikers are looking more and more tempting, even if they are 30 points each with launchers, their special rules might be worth the trade off in the right list.

This allows him an attack better than the bolt pistol before the assault, and a bonus attack in the assault phases.

The rapid Fire for the Astartes GLs makes sense as well considering they are Bike mounted, with a drum, vs the Auxiliary which is supposed to be just a grenade tube(like the underslung grenade launcher on an M16)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330767/2171790.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330767/2171790.page GMT Re:Astartes Grenade Launcher http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330767/2171803.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330767/2171803.page GMT Astartes Grenade Launcher
Although I think the model's arm had broken off recently, so I might be able to put on a spare SW Bolt Pistol Arm. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330767/2171904.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330767/2171904.page GMT Re:Astartes Grenade Launcher http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330767/2172953.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330767/2172953.page GMT Re:Astartes Grenade Launcher

Honestly, I used the obvious half of the scout bikes launcher and put on his left shoulder all predator style. Since a full 10 scount bikes gives you alot of extras, I am waiting to decide if I want a really decked out honor guard squad with them as well.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330767/2174364.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/330767/2174364.page GMT
