Has anyone competed successfully with an all bike force?
I was thinking
HQ
Captain on bike with Relic blade and Melta bombs 170pts
Command Squad with Company champ with combat shield and power weapon, apothecary, Veteran storm shield/thunder hammer/company banner, veteran with thunder hammer/storm shield, veteran with chainsword and storm shield. 340pts
Troops
Bike squad with Sgt with combi melta, 5 marines with 2 meltas, attack bike multi melta 245pts
Bike squad with Sgt with combi melta, 5 marines with 2 meltas, attack bike multi melta 245pts
Bike Squad with Sgt with Combi Flamer, 4 marines with 2 Flamers, attack bike with heavy bolter. 200pts
Fast Attack
Attack bike squad with 3 bikes multi meltas 150 pts.
Attack bike squad with 3 bikes multi meltas 150 pts.
I haven't played 6th yet and not experienced the effects of a flier army but the hammer unit in this can handle some serious assaults with FNP and storm shields. I am still unsure of what weapons the apothecary can have. I think it is just an apothecary and comes as equipped. In my 2k list the captain gets a few more items and I add a Librarian on a bike, another fast attack slot, and bigger bike squads.
