Use them as land speeders or bikes.

I too have those oldies, and I use them as bikes.

(Justiniel @ May 11 2007,13:36)

I use mine as bikes with skimmer ability, otherwise the stats are basically the same, as L4 would say, it works for me ?

L4 is a member here, short for Legion 4. He's famous for saying DWWFY, which means "do what works for you."

Heh Kai,

They'll be included in the 5.1 update of the army list. ?See errata thread:
SM errata ?Posts 10 and 13.

Primarch said it's ok, so it will be in the next update when it finally happens.

(Dwarf Supreme @ May 11 2007,18:02)

I like the idea of Marines having Jetbikes. They had them in AT/SM1. Why not now? They're not all that different from Land Speeders.

(loofnick @ May 11 2007,17:52)

I'm fine thanks, if a bit unemployed.

I believe there's no timetable at all. ?All depends on how much time people have. ?OzTenaka (who was gathering the errata) seems to be having a little break, no doubt due to that annoying real life business. ?And there are plenty more books to get errata for yet, and all the arguments that go with them. ?So, a fairly long way to go I'm sure.

Obviously Marines shouldn't really have ever got Jetbikes. ?But everyone wants to use what they've got.

Actually just noticed posts on the Netepic mailing list, and someone wanted stats for these, and someone else suggesting they should be Dark Angels Special Cards only (not you, the army! ?

). ?But I expect they'll stay available to all.

I didn't mean to say I was against the idea, just that they shouldn't have been made at all. I just like lists to be distinct form each other. But since the models were made, you should of course use them. In reality I let most things into our games. Included units of Suicide Rats (Fantasy Battle swarm rats with mines on their back!), and some highly inaccurate Vortex creation weapons, mounted on Rhinos. For Marine armies- very appropriate I'm sure you'll agree!
