These would, in effect, triple the number of special HQ units. Isn't that a bit much?

There are no attack bikes in the Net Epic Ravenwing. Would this be a new support card? Or do you propose changing one of the Land Speeder detachments in the company card to Attack Bike detachment?

I take it you didn't like the proposal in the original post? ;) That's the third suggestion for Master so far.
