The Scout Bikes?

Scout Bikes
The tenth company of many Space Marine chapters maintains a force of
bikes. Some are employed to train new recruits who will eventually
join Bike squadrons as full battle-brothers, others are used to
provide highly mobile support for Scout squads behind enemy lines.
Scout Bikes are fitted with special noise suppressors, so may make an
Infiltration before battle begins.
Models: Biker models from the GW Space Marine sprue, 2-3 to a stand.

Scout Bikes
Move: 30 cm
Save: none
CAF: +2
Weapons: Twin-linked Bolters
Range: 15cm
Att. D: 1

Notes: Infiltration

Agree... maybe +2 ^^

Agree... maybe +1 ^^
