For their rules, I am thinking of using either modifying the Space Marine Biker rules or using the Thunderwolf Cavalry rules from the Space Wolves. I'm leaning more towards the bikers because of their special weapon options. I want to try to make them tank-hunters, as the last model is unarmed right now and I'm thinking about giving him a meltagun. Before I talk about the cavalry vs bike issue, I should inform you that I have not read 6th edition cavalry and bike rules, so please post them if you can. Bikes can use Turbo-Boost, have twin-linked bolters (SM), have the Relentless rule, are not slowed by difficult terrain (they take a dangerous terrain test instead), and increase the Toughness of the rider (not for Instant Death).

How can I adjust the rules to make this unit equal to a Bike squad? Some possibilities: include an attack for the beast, extra wound (convert to infantry?), furious charge ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/459708/4486247.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/459708/4486247.page GMT TWC; S5 T5 base, same movement options as bikes now, minus the turbo boost. Better assault moves though and +1W.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/459708/4486319.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/459708/4486319.page GMT TW "light" sorta thing? where its between TW and bikes, maybe their a bit faster but less wounds?

EDIT - unless you wanna use already made rules, then go for TWC]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/459708/4486483.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/459708/4486483.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/459708/4488990.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/459708/4488990.page GMT
