Heh, that`d be the only reason i would consider Bikes over Speeders

It always seemed vishnoff was more inclined to go for bikes anyway

I prefer attack bikes it seems more fluffy to me since Space Wolves don't like flying that much. But yer it really depends sure a landspeeder can deepstrike but its useless if it doesnt fit with your army or play style.

Well ok...so I have the points to do it but I have a squadron of both bikes and speeders...I use them in tandom...the speeders draw fire and the bikes rush in to shoot up the enemy then assault...meanwile the speeders move to a position to give them good cover while they pick on the next unit...if the bikes fail the assault and die horribly...the speeders are usually enough to finish off what's left ...(two Tornadoes with ass cans and one with heavy flamer...) if the bikes massacre the enemy then they move to the next objective...with the speeders wreakin havoc and drawing fire...meanwhile the rest of my force is fast approaching and eating the enemy up with concentrated fire from the armor column... hehehe

Spoken like a true wolf lord....

This is a fine example of commandering (correct spelling? - Cag... can we get a spell checker?)... But only when you have enough points to spare to field such a force.

What do you do when your playing a smaller game such as 1500pts, when you need to make a decision either or.

I currently go with speeders as they are all I have painted / half painted at the moment. Once my bikes are done I'll probably start using them more.

Combined arms.... Way to go wolfie!

2 with heavy flamer would be a waste, wouldn`t it?

Well, maybe it might work against some weaklings like a couple of missplaced squads of cannon fodder.

in the case of smaller games...I just use the jumpers...and a squad of Wolf Scouts...hehehe...same results just scarrier for the opponent...never knowing when...LMAO...can you say ouch? 6 scouts with two plasma pistols, meltagun, and two power weaps...lead by a WGL sporting a plasma pistol and powerfist?...oh mr indirect fire?...where are you?...come out and play wit me...pleeeeez!!!???...dere you iz...(not for long sucka)

yeah more points than either the bikes or speeders but it is just for fun...right? If I'm feelin really frisky...I suppose it all depends on my opponent as to which squad to take...more times than not it will be my bikes...but sometimes I just can resist the three flyers diving at an opponent on a strafing run...LMAO

the great thing is that speeders, (and all vehicles for that matter), are going to get a good boost in overall effectiveness next year!

cheers!
