Space Marine Bikers

Operating as the hard-hitting vanguard of the Adeptus Astartes, Space Marine Biker squads and Primaris Outriders combine the genetic fury of a transhuman warrior with the unstoppable momentum of a heavy armored steed. Mounted upon rugged, twin-bolter-equipped combat bikes, these shock troops excel at rapid reconnaissance, flanking maneuvers, and lightning-fast spearhead assaults.

The bikes themselves are heavily armored, all-terrain behemoths powered by roaring multi-fuel engines, engineered to smash through enemy lines and withstand grueling battlefield conditions. Driven by seasoned battle-brothers who interface directly with their mounts via their power armor’s black carapace, a bike squadron can cross treacherous terrain at incredible speeds before unleashing a devastating point-blank volley of bolter fire and charging into close quarters with chainswords raised. Whether operating as the wide-ranging scouts of the White Scars or the disciplined flank-guards of the Ultramarines, Space Marine bikers ensure that a Chapter can project its overwhelming force exactly where the enemy least expects it.

Grey Knights Attack Bike

At the recent UK GamesDay, a preview of the new all plastic Space Marine Attack Bike was shown.

As you may have seen in previous posts and on my workbench I have been working on a Grey Knights Landspeeder.

I do realise that it is not in the Codex and there is not a lot of fluff to support such a model, however I do think it will look cool. I am using the Land Speeder which came with the original boxed set, purity symbols from ForgeWorld and a book and skull from the Inquisitor range.

Under the same misconception I think that the new plastic Attack Bike will make a fine starting point for a Grey Knights version.

Also at Gamesday was a completed Forgeworld pre-Heresy Land Raider, built and painted by Will Hayes.

It is my intention to get one of these for my Grey Knights (and this is in the Codex and the fluff).
