'What I've Got' Bike List.

I'm still depressingly unemployed at the moment so investing in a new army would be a bit of a stretch. However I do have a large amount of stuff in various stages of production or sitting in boxes that I could probably do something with, some of which consists of Space Marine Bikers.


Those of you with long memories might recall my attempt at a Space Marine Jetbike, the prototype of which can be found somewhere in the middle of this post.


So I've worked out I have enough bits to make one full Bike Command Squad in the same 'Jetbike' Style as the first one I did as well as the following assembled and under coated,

Space Marine Captain on Bike with Power Weapon x1,
Space Marine Sergeant on Bike x4,
Space Marine Melta-gunner on Bike x8,
Space Marine Attack Bike with Multi-Melta x4,
Space Marine Biker x4,
And enough unassembled Bikes to make another 4 or possibly 5 (after a bit more searching) standard Space Marine Bikers.

I also have a large number of Landspeeders (6 Typhoons/Heavy Bolter and 6 Multi-Melta/Heavy Flamer) which would compliment a Bike army nicely.

I am therefore considering the following army list which though not particularly optimised will not require me to have to actually buy anything else.....
