Looks like 3 holstered pistols, a couple of grenades and a plasma and melta bit to replace one of the front-mounted bolters.


Sounds about right to me!!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583593/6610863.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583593/6610863.page GMT I bought the Chaos Biker Upgrade kit off GW's website, but I'm not sure what some of the parts are.

How do the melta and plasma guns compare to the bolters?


I assume you mean in games terms?
A bolter is range 24 strength 4 armour penetration 5 rapid fire
A melta gun is range 12 strength 8 ap 2 armourbane
A plasma gun is range 24 strength 7 ap 2 rapid fire, gets hot
All these are explained in the rule book.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583593/6610910.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583593/6610910.page GMT I bought the Chaos Biker Upgrade kit off GW's website, but I'm not sure what some of the parts are.

I'm not as up to date on the rules as I should be. I keep trying to read the book, and I love all the lore stuff but once I get to the lists of numbers and acronyms, my mind switches off, especially after a long day. I have no idea what those terms mean, but I want my army to be "good."

Where can I place the holsters on my model? I've only built one bike out of three, they will be stunt bikers, so I have the bike jumping off a ramp while the rider is holding one handed onto the back and shooting a bolter off to the side. While we're talking about rules, can I play them as stunt bikers? Maybe losing a point of armour and gaining a point in crossing difficult terrain?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583593/6610949.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583593/6610949.page GMT I bought the Chaos Biker Upgrade kit off GW's website, but I'm not sure what some of the parts are. You really need to read the rule book.

Holsters typically go on the hip. If they don't fit then put them on the front faring where it can be reached by the rider.
& no, you can't really make up rules like this.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583593/6611622.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583593/6611622.page GMT I bought the Chaos Biker Upgrade kit off GW's website, but I'm not sure what some of the parts are.

If you are playing a fun game between friends, you can definitely make house rules.

If you're playing in a store against strangers or in a tournament, than the answer is no.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583593/6611694.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583593/6611694.page GMT I bought the Chaos Biker Upgrade kit off GW's website, but I'm not sure what some of the parts are.

AP value on bold.

Also, the melta is an Assault 1 weapon as well.

You like the lore and you seem really interested in painting. Just paint. We've started a regular game at my FLGS where we specifically help newer players. Get some models you like, and try them. You get game practice and the number crunchers can offer small bits of advice for your next kit. I am sure you can find some people like that where you are. Focus on the parts of the hobby you find fun, don't try and change the game to suit your whims.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583593/6612581.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583593/6612581.page GMT I bought the Chaos Biker Upgrade kit off GW's website, but I'm not sure what some of the parts are.

Yes it was meant to be sarcastic, but now I take it back completely - didn't notice what you'd done. Sorry.
Thanks for correcting it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583593/6612607.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583593/6612607.page GMT
