Evening gents,
Recently had it brought to my attention that such a list was possible so I figured I'd let you all have a whack at it before I go on a bike buying spree.
Themed to be a successor to Salamanders as Sals don't have many bikes/fast attack?
HQ
Vulk 190 pts
SM Captain on Bike,Bolt Pistol, Thunder Hammer 165 pts
Elite
5 Termies w/SS and THs 200 pts
Troops
7 Space Marine Bikes w/2 melta guns and 1 PF Sgt X3- 235 pts each
8 Space Marine Bikes w/2 melta guns and 1 PF Sgt X1-260 pts each
Fast Attack
2 Attack Bikes w/MM X2- 100pts each
Heavy Support
Land Raider Crusader w/MM + EA- 275 pts
Total: 1995 pts
Vulk joins Termies in the Land Raider Crusader to go hammering
CPT goes either with Vulk or joins the big bike squad
Attack Bikes pop enemy heavy armor, big bugs, artillery...
Bike Squads zoom around shooting up units and then mopping up in close combat.
I believe this list plays to the strengths of the Salamanders but its a shame biker Sgts can't take THs.
I understand the list is vulnerable to massed template fire but with turbo boost and being able to get to targets quickly, I am not so worried.
Thoughts?
