SM Bikers across the board. Ravenwing retain a Jink rule, which gives them a 5++ on turns they advance. And Sammael is now a beast in close combat, particularly on turns he charges. I don't know how Ravenwing stack up against other SM bikers, but I've been happy to have them in my lists thus far.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732523/9488434.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732523/9488434.page GMT Now that 8th has been out for a while, which makes the best Bike Army?

So, now that 8th has changed a lot, which Space Marine chapter makes the best Bike Army now? Dark Angels Ravenwing, White Scars, Deathwatch, or has another chapter shown that it can make a better bike army in 8th?

Thanks

Wait a little longer for the codex. you may or may not get a surprise inside. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732523/9488440.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732523/9488440.page GMT Now that 8th has been out for a while, which makes the best Bike Army?
White Scars don't really have anything useful at present; Kor'sarro Khan supports a one-dimensional melee deathball and doesn't do a lot else. Deathwatch have pound for pound the best individual bikes (cost of a normal Marine veteran biker with the same statline, but getting special ammo and fall-back-and-charge instead of bodyguard), but since they can't have bike characters, bike special weapons, attack bikes, or Land Speeders you can't really build an army around them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732523/9488475.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732523/9488475.page GMT Now that 8th has been out for a while, which makes the best Bike Army? SM list or a pure single-faction one. How well that works depends on your opinion of Assorted Imperial Random lists.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732523/9488486.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732523/9488486.page GMT Now that 8th has been out for a while, which makes the best Bike Army? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732523/9488527.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732523/9488527.page GMT Now that 8th has been out for a while, which makes the best Bike Army?

"Inhaling gretchin spores" just doesn't have the same ring to it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732523/9488540.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732523/9488540.page GMT Now that 8th has been out for a while, which makes the best Bike Army? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732523/9488564.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732523/9488564.page GMT Now that 8th has been out for a while, which makes the best Bike Army?

Agree. In 7th, bike armies started to grate on me after seeing quite a few in my local, though I'd like for the White Scars to have a bit more going for them. They are, to me, the most interesting loyalist chapter and I'd love to fight them more often. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732523/9489251.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732523/9489251.page GMT Now that 8th has been out for a while, which makes the best Bike Army? We got a bit snubbed in 7th having no access to a Troop option for Bikes - a downside of using the Codex as alcohol coasters I suppose.

Cons.
3ppm more than your standard vanilla bike and no access to Heavy weaponry.
No Combat Squad ability - questionable relevance.

Pros.
Base loadout is grenades, two Bolters, a Bolt Pistol and Chainsword.
Option to take a third Bolter - not swap for just take - that can be left as is or upgraded to any Space Wolves combi-weapon.
Two standard attacks, three for the leader.
Three and four if you didn't upgrade the Chainswords to Power Weapons.
Full access to the Space Wolves' melee weapon's list.
The ability to put a Storm Shield on any or all models in the unit.
Elite choice rather than Fast Attack - Don't know how that calculates for other Marine armies but for Space Wolves it's wonderful.

I think the Wolves definitely go in the running for best bike army.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732523/9489308.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732523/9489308.page GMT Now that 8th has been out for a while, which makes the best Bike Army?

lackluster does not mean awful, it just means dull, regular. lacking glitz or shine. they are not terrible, they are not great they are just fairly middle of the road ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732523/9489821.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732523/9489821.page GMT Now that 8th has been out for a while, which makes the best Bike Army? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732523/9489872.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/732523/9489872.page GMT Now that 8th has been out for a while, which makes the best Bike Army?
