Gangs in the underhive like playing
around with
new equipment, and this craze of bikes started off
when an Orlock gang ambushed a Space Marine Scout
squad on bikes hunting a renegade Chaos Marine. The
Orlocks killed the Scouts, and stole the bikes. Since then
they have been duplicated and reused by all the gangs.
Cost 300 creds.
Strength 5, Toughness 6, Wounds 4, 4+ save.
Movement : either 9, 18, or 25" (slow, combat or fast
speed) The bike can accelerate to any of these speeds, but may only decellerate by one
speed group per turn.
Weapons : Twin linked boltguns with 45 degree fire arc to the
front. Rider may fire a pistol, basic or special weapon instead, with a 360 degree arc.
Rider : Leaders or Gangers can ride bikes so long as they have
the BIKE RIDER special skill. This is obtained by rolling 2 or 12 on the advance table,
and choosing BIKE RIDER instead of any normal skill.
Buying a Bike : A gang can only purchase a bike if the model
with the Bike Rider skill survives the next battle, and goes rare trading with the leader.
The gang must forfeit one roll on the rare trade table chart to choose a bike (due to time
taken).
Fixing the Bike : If the cost to repair is not paid after each
game, the bike can not be used until it is paid.
