Cagalli Yura Attha I thought Attack bikes had a plastic bike with a metal sidecar? I think that's the old one and now the entire thing is plastic. Let me check though. *check* Nope, the one on the online store is listed as plastic + metal but it could be that they're just trying to get rid of the overstock.

I know I'm not the only one that's ever thought of this but I'm certainly the only one I've ever seen who's used this tactic, but I want to know what everyone else's experience has been:
Devestator Squad
4 Marines with Heavy Bolters
1 Marine with Bolter (so you can remove him first instead of a Heavy Bolter)
1 Veteran Sergeant with Storm Bolter and whatever else you want to give him, usually teleport homer for me so the Termis can Deep Strike there if I need them.
Mount these guys up in an Extra Armored Razorback with Twin-Heavy Bolters and take them on an anti-infantry killing spree. Never tested it against Tau but I don't think it would work too well because the generally out gun you, but against IG and Orks it works wonders for cutting down their numerical advantage.

the perfect SM army against orks is 3 six-man tactical squads with 4 basic bolters, a sarge, and one plasmacannon, 3 Land Speeder squads of three, all with Heavy bolters, and a devastator squad with 4 heavy bolters and a sarge and a bolter guy. Mount all of the troop squads in Razorbacks, and you have the ultimate Anti ork army.

Incredibly inbexpensive for its efficeincy too, but its only good against lightl;y aarmored armioes, unless you switch a landspeeder squad for one with multi meltas.

I would think that you would at least need maybe a single Predator to take out the tanks.
