Hi,

regarding the Space Marine bike, its not the price that is wrong, but
the stats, in my opinion. The CAF of the SM bike should be +3 since
the CAF of Imperial Guard bike is +2 and the unit desciption state
that "(the bike)...augments their Close Combat skills...".
Considering that the CAF of a Tactical Marine is +2, bike should
really have +3 CAF (like it was back in 2nd Ed).

Also, I agree with you that SM bike should have PD because it's
tacticaly better than their actual range attack and it would be in
line with IG and Squats bike. The Eldar jetbike range attack is +5
to hit, so it cant be compare to PD.

B.M.F.
