Marine Jet-Bike Prototype.

It seemed like a good idea at the time.....

2nd Company Captain - "You managed to retrofit our weapons to the vehicle then?"

Master of the Forge - "Yes Captain, the existing weapon systems were...unsuitable...I used ones more familiar to your Marines"

2nd Company Captain -"Can you make more?"

Master of the Forge - "If you can provide the raw materials, then yes"

2nd Company Captain -"Excellent"

Master of the Forge -"If you don't mind me asking Captain, how were these Dark Eldar persuaded to trade these materials?"

2nd Company Captain -"Do you recall our problems with over-crowding on the prison planet at the edge of our domain?"

Master of the Forge -"Yes"

2nd Company Captain -"There are approximately 10,000 less problems than before..."

Master of the Forge -"I see..."

My Command Squad need rides that sets them above the 'rank and file'. This seemed to fit the bill nicely.

My Command Squad will most likely be armed in the following way

: Command Squad (5#, 365 pts)

1 Command Squad @ 365 pts (Space Marine Bike; Veteran)

1 Apothecary (Unit on SM Bikes)

4 Veteran (Storm Shield; Unit on SM Bikes; Lightning Claw x1; Meltagun x1)

The standard bike armament of twin-linked Bolters has been added to the model as has the meltagun that the Rider has as war-gear. I believe that the spikes on the vehicle do a fair job of representing Lightning Claws. Not sure how to justify the Storm Shield yet, though...

Anyway, There's obviously a lot of tidying up to be done but the basic idea is there.

Thoughts, Comments and other constructive criticism is (as usual) most welcome.
