nob bikers

[kappa1az]

if i read that correctly in the FAQ then Nob bikers just became the most overpowered unit in the game...toughness 5 can take a lascannon to the face and with a painboy get feel no pain..

WOW

Space marine command squads on bikes are much the same with apothecary and jink save, I suspect we will see an increase in White Scars armies.

The new use bracketed number for X unit is a boon for A LOT of armies. Reaver jet bikes are now T4 meaning no ID to Autocannons,Tomb Blades are now T5 so no ID to Missile Launchers or Lascannons. Now yes these are all 1 Wound models and nob bikers are 2 but with things Like Power from Pain on the Reavers and the Ressurection Protocols the increased Toughness is still a huge help for the armies.The old 2 Toughness numbers really bothered me as 9 times out of 10 the shot is hitting the bike or whatever is increasing your Toughness. Still the new increased Toughness and other rules changes will make bikes a much more appealing choice to a lot of people.
