Hi!

I was wondering if anyone got any experience with playing White Scars.

Because i took a closer look at the list, and imo the 8 unit bike detachment is a bit too strong.

I mean i'm playing marines myself, but thinking of 8 infantry bases (bikes are infantry) with these stats, together with the TSKNF rule for 400 points is a real bargain.  A bonus being that you can put the whole formation in a thunderhawk, with chaplain that's probably the best points-for-value air assault combination in whole E:A!

What do you think?

cheers,

The problem of 8 bikes in an air assault is the dismounting rule.

They all have to be within 5cm of the T/Hawk and this makes it difficult to get them all in BtB, although they are good at FF's.

They are a great all round assault formation but for the same points in a T/Hawk I prefer 2 assault formations both with chaplains.They give better CC (2 MW  instead of 1 in CC) and have greater range (15cm dismount) when coming out of a T/Hawk.They also have +2 for inspiring instead of +1 from the WS bikes.
