One other thing - maybe give the IG fire support platoon guys a -1 to
hit for the sandbags?

The IG have so many units already and this will be a unit that is basically covered by the Rapier Las Destroyer, Tarantula and IG Heavy Weapons unit.� Do the IG really need another unit like this?� I still vote no for the unit, simply because the IG already have plenty of stuff like this.� If you want to see rules for them they should be very optional.

Also, if they were to get a -1 to hit from the Sandbags, then they would have to have a move of 0cm.� There's absolutely no way they could move the gun AND the sandbags AND set them both up in a turn.� Sure the model looks cool with the sandbags and all, but its just decoration on the base and should in no way reflect the stats for the unit.

What I am really looking for also with the stats of the models ia a
reasonable point cost and how many models are in a detachment.

I can't really give you that as I don't think the IG need the unit for the reasons I stated above.

I like you idea of the Marine Jet Bikes as a Ravenwing support card,
and I like your Master of the Ravenwing idea.� But I am OK with other
marines having them as well.

No way.� Sorry if I sound harsh (its not my intention) but absolutely no way.� Marines are already fast enough, they do not need skimmer bikes and should not have general access to them.� Easily available jetbikes should remain the province of the Eldar and no one else.� Space Marines should not get them except perhaps a rare few for the Dark Angels.� As zap123 has already stated, SM jetbikes vanished with the release of Space Marine V2, which NetEpic is based on.� And if Dark Angels have them, it should be as a Special Card ONLY, not a support card.� You want their special jetbikes?� Give up a Special slot for them.� I have no problem with putting them in as an optional Special Card unit for the DA Ravenwing (ie- one stand of the Master of the Ravenwing and 4 stands of bodyguard jetbikes) but will fight pretty hard against anything else.

Please don't let me put you off coming up with new ideas, I just don't like putting new units into established lists for the sake of it or because some of us have some of the rarer models.� There needs to be a balance kept within the lists otherwise we take away some of the tactical challenges of them by covering every angle with new units.
