It would fit with the fluff, as a Dark Angel player I would be loath to
lose the advantage of being the only chapter with a rapid assault company,
with two it would be less painful. The Dark Angels and White Scars should
be the really, rapid, rapid attack marine chapters.
As for the Stormwind, love the idea.

Subject: Sv: [NetEpic ML] Problem with Marines
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.

> My proposal:
> 1) Make Eivind's SAM whirlwind official and call it "stormwind" or
whatever. It is in the "files" folder of our group.
> 2) Allow marines to have a bike company or, better yet, a marine specific
company of 2 bike squadrons and 1 attack bike squadron.

> Company Card:
> Name: Space Marine Bike Company
> Contents: 1 HQ of 1 bike stand, 2 bike detachments of 5 bike stands and 1
attack bike detachment of 5 attack bikes.
> Break Point: 8
> Morale: 2
> Victory Points: 3
> Cost:325
> Special Rules: Since the bike company represents the bulk of a Chapter's
bike forces no bike support cards may be fielded together with the bike
company.
