Hopefully a year or so down the road, G/W US will be able to start Epic Archive and maybe even sell E:A as bitz instead of whole units. But it's anyone's guess ...

Can anyone explain to me how these things are worth the extra points to replace one of your bike stands? Surely you are better off taking Land Speeders?

Well, in the Pdf in the Vault, it does say it costs 25 points per attack bike, but in the rulebook it says that they are free. So, there you go.

They are now free as an upgrade, and you lose 2 points of close sombat for a 30cm 5+ AP shot. It depends on the role that you intend for them. A few will make your bike formation a bit more frightening at medium range, but I have not got any as I only have a single formation of bikes.

I actually like the combination they're putting in the new blister packs (4 bikes, 1 attack) bike. I use them to place a blast marker on an enemy formation i'm going to assullt. (with another formation)
eg during turn 1 put bike on double to get them into postion for assault next turn, and fire at an enemy formation to place a BM on them. Assault that formation with something in charge range (eg troops in a thunderhawk). Bikes lend support fire if possible.
Turn 2, charge in with the bikes to mop up any survivors  .

Bikes will be metal copies of the previous plastic bikes ? And Attack Bikes will be the metal E40K version ?

No, Bikes will be slightly altered versions of the attack bike, um, BIKE (ie an AB without the sidecar) so they look more like the 40K version.
That wasnt very clear, but I hope it made sense....  _________________ Cheers, Paul "TuffSkull" T. http://hobbybrush.com - My New Website, with thousands of painted Mini Pics :) http://hobbybrush.blogspot.com - My Hobby Blog TuffSkull's notepad- My Old Blog on Wargames Wiki.
