-----> I don't think he _had_ to be a chaplain/medic, as I believe one
of the white dwarfs added/revised the "light vehicle" rules and if
marine bikes weren't in before, they were after that (it's fuzzy now and
my stuff's packed as I'm moving this weekend so I can't double check).
That gunshielded hv bolter is probably the thuddgun, which was rather
difficult to get after the metal ones went out as the squats were the
only sprues including them. I ended up using some spare ork hop-splats
for mine. That was one of the cooler things about the older mini's
packaging (well, besides the price) - those little random bits thet came
in the packs with everything, and the various weapon mixes that came
with the titans.
