Hi
Usually Im quite reserved when it comes to filling the blanks in the armylists, but theese suggestions are quite to the point!
As for the SAM Whilrwind I (of course) agree that it should be official. That should be one of the discussions in the upcomming revision. Stormwind is an axcellent name for it. Good to see that someone has a better imagination than me :-)
The marines are indeed a rapid deployment force and should have a bikecompany, but only one per chapter.
But how about The Dark Angels? If I remeber correctly, the third company is the Ravenwing. Should they then have two bike companies?

> There are two things which don't seem right in the Marine army lists and have bugged me for a long time: lack of self-propelled AA and bike companies. I mean, a IG army is supposed to be slow and ponderous while a Marine chapter is fast and mobile. Yet IG has SP AA platform and bike company while Marines have static AA (scorpion) and only single bike squadrons. Yet even in codex chapters one company (6th) is trained in bike use.
