im thinking of building up another marines army, with a totally fast attack, close firepower theme. either gonna use dark angels ravenwing, or white scars. the majority of troops being on bikes, with landspeeders for support, possibly some assualt troops in rhinos. anybody got any ideas for me? or any ideas for other themed armies that would be cool. like lukes sub terra main army for example.

support them with flying units. 5 man, armed to teeth jump pack squad can easily keep up with rhinos and bikes. but when bikes are priced 20 pts per piece, the army ain't gonna be successful. i lowered my sm bike cost to 5 pts (just as jumppack).

im gonna use ravenwing tho i think, so with the jink jule with the bikes and land speeders, xtra -1 to hit, move them at fast speed, thats -3 to hit! worth 20 pts..

What about the Sisters of Battle, there the most elite army thats dedicated to close combat and can have whole squads armed with jump packs and twin hand flamers (that combine to form a single flamer shot).
Thye could do with an update soon as well, add in some of their new things in 4th edition and flesh them out as a full blown army.

Attack bikes fit the theme here and that melta can slice through armor.

lol censored, fair enough. had a look at the new sisters of battle codex, or witch hunters as it is now. was mostly put off. especially by the gw staffs comment of nuns with guns. think im gonna go for dark angels, mostly ravenwing. is ther any options with weapons for land speeders by the way? i bought a land speeder tornado which comes with parts to make it the same as the old second ed one, multimelta and h.flamer. but land speeder with assault cannon wud be rather good, allowed?

As I recall the Raven Wing speeder is armed with an assualt cannon and a most impressive points tag to go with it!

All weapon varients are allowed across the board to fit the new box sets.

does that include the forgeword land speeder tempest? that is single seater enclosed variant, with assualt cannon in the nose and some kind of missile launchers. also what about the master of the ravenwing model with twin assault cannons and twin heavy bolters? i guess thats a special character anyway.

Master of the Ravenwing was a Special Character anyway, Mike had some ideas for the new dumbass models.

actually just checked the angels of death codex and master of the ravenwing isnt a special character, just chosen like a normal master (captain) and has the option to ride a bike or drive in a land speeder. so im guesing twin linked death weapons wont be allowed, far too beardy.. and expensive!

they made it into a special character effectively

ive ordered bits to make my predator from forgeword, using baal predators sponsons (heavy flamer) , the ordinary twin lascannon turrent, altho mite use autocannon as optional, spaced armour (ablative), and the forgeworld dozer blade (looks cool), also got some dark angels icons just to add a bit more character.
