Assault bikes are totally viable in Blood Angels jumper armies as a zoom-around-and-blow-tanks-up option

Tell me about it.
I've been playing Salamanders for just over a year now and I still have never used Vulkan. People give me the funniest looks when I tell them I play Sallies and they immediately ask if I have Vulkan.
And yet I've placed in the top 3 of the two Tournament's I've played them in...
I tie more than I win, but I'm okay with that. I hit things with hammers, I drop flame templates, and I generally have a good time.

What exactly does his 'chapter tactics' net you above a regular HQ? Out of curiosity?
Replace Combat Tactics with all Thunder Hammers are master-crafted. All versions of flamers and meltas count as twin linked.

As I know DocSamson doesn't know marines that well, "Combat Tactics" for normal marine armies allows you to choose to fail any morale check. Some special characters allow you to replace this with chapter specific rules, like Vulkan lets you twin link stuff, Shrike gives you infiltrate, and a few others.
I don't think BA or SW have combat tactics, they have their own rules.
I'm pretty sure fearless trumps combat tactics, but I don't have my codex handy.
It is fucking AWESOME.
"Look at that subtle off-white coloring, the tasteful thickness of it... Oh my God, it even has a watermark."
So true. I versed a dude in the use of combat tactics Wed night when my gants shot his tac squad, forced a morale check, then charged and finished them off because of brood progenitor. He got it, I think.
The other thing that people don't seem to understand is that IG order that relates to going to ground. They thought you could use it in your opponents phase because "Why would you ever plan to go to ground! That is insanity sauce bro!" I dunno the specifics... at one time I did.
"Look at that subtle off-white coloring, the tasteful thickness of it... Oh my God, it even has a watermark."
Well, Space Wolves have it, right? Gotta be better...
I wonder what crazy stuff they'll have for Dark Angels. I'd like to see some kind of shooting advantage, we have enough cc marines.
Dark Angels are odd. They can be 3 different armies.
I love it.
Also, fuck the space wolf haters, you probably paint from the pot and use crappy testors brushes DONT YOU.
I'm the 1%

Nope, but disgruntling wolf wolf players on a Friday afternoon is pretty great
Space Wolves want to be in assault. Tactical Marines... don't. The chance to avoid assault and get more double-tap opportunities is critical.
Edit: it'd be cool to play a Mantis Warriors force and use the Chapter Tactics from their special character but not have to take him. They should just have a page of chapter tactics in the next SM codex.
I would be so happy if this would happen.

Twin linking Master of Ordinance with IG 'bring it down' order. Kosher?
I HAS A BLOG NOW! FOLLOW ME!
Yup. It would be like the old 'traits' codex.
Sure. Without getting too 'meta', the MoO shot is a weapon and bring it down twin links weapons in the squad... so I don't see a problem.
I think the argument people use against it is that the Ord shot isn't really being fired by the unit. But whatever. lol.
Hells yeah. I do that shit all day errey day.
"Look at that subtle off-white coloring, the tasteful thickness of it... Oh my God, it even has a watermark."
It would turn Captains into a desirable unit choice, much like Sagas did for Wolf Lords.
Yeah, I've known some people to argue that it's not a weapon, it's a 'shooting attack', and bring it down twin links weapons. It's pretty flimsy, but I don't want to cause a fuss.

And would make special characters less desireable again. The reason for tying chapter tactics to special characters was to help sell them.
I went into Yellow Submarine in Akihabara last night and they had 8 of them on the shelves.
Also the new Necrons are up to preorder.
I dig the White Crons, though.
For Chaos?
