But, they can do some of the forward recon work that I end up having to have my standard Marine bikers do, which puts them at risk of being killed off, and thereby losing me a scoring unit in the process.

If your other army is built with enough pressure units they can survive and gain you easy victory points and not waste a more useful units.Spectre Senencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10216261673386134797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401134511366147394.post-84667676300687947032013-03-19T12:12:51.286-04:002013-03-19T12:12:51.286-04:00Twin-linked BS3 is basically a straight BS4 so it&...Twin-linked BS3 is basically a straight BS4 so it's not that unreliable.<br /><br />A harassment unit is exactly what I'd use them for. Keep them cheap and look for a task to give them knowing they won't be coming back from it. Scouts, in any form, are one of the few units priced low enough to not cringe when they get smoked.Thorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04437070475561268098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401134511366147394.post-87973780506603444082013-03-19T08:30:29.211-04:002013-03-19T08:30:29.211-04:00yeah, I can't really envision the role for Sco...yeah, I can't really envision the role for Scout Bikers yet in 6th. The loss of assault after outflanking or infiltration means they're stuck either waiting around for a turn, or better focused as a shooting unit.<br />Rapid fire grenade launchers is nice, but BS3 hurts a lot. Snare mines are cute, but don't do enough damage to be a real threat to the units that like to hug area TheRhinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13199708616977903957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401134511366147394.post-69111958595640385082013-03-19T07:44:18.179-04:002013-03-19T07:44:18.179-04:00Funny, we played all the same players except for o...Funny, we played all the same players except for one.<br /><br />Scout Bikers are also one of those units I keep meaning to try and haven't yet. Well, I tried them a few games but never really gave them a thorough testing. With what little I did use them I found them to be effective in their role.Thorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04437070475561268098noreply@blogger.com
