Thoughts on that?
the problem with multi-meltas, although very cool looking, is their short range of only 24"...
the lascannon and/or rocket launcher gives you a long reach and means that your opponent might think twice about being overly agressive with his/her precious tank!

the thing to keep in mind with loyalist bikers is that they are most definately not assault troops!!! they're essencially just T5 tactical marines who can respond to any threat within one movement phase!
i prefer attack bikes or speeders personally... more shots and/or better protection for fewer pts.

cheers!
