I am doing the final preparations for my SM army. I have quite a few of the old bikes, and I just wonder whether the new bikes are worth it. So, basically, I have two questions: Does the blister really contain 12 bikes and an attack bike? That would kind of s**k. Are the models good enough to be worth investing in? /Fredmans |

12 bikes (three different sculpts, repeated 4 times each) and one attack bike, along with (IIRC) 6x Warmaster bases. I think they're worth it. |

I think GW's sculptors had been watching too much Akira when they made the plastic bikes. |

Thanks. That was the answers I was looking for (although my wallet begs to disagree). On a side note, can you watch too much Akira? /Fredmans |

I like them and think them much better than the plastic ones. Apologises for the crap pictures from years ago when I didn't know what I was doing (I'd take better ones and could later if you like, but I'm not home), but see here:   One good trick with them is to file down the wheels a little on an angle on some of them and to not glue them all equally going straight ahead, but rather have some veering and turning - looks much more dynamic. |

Speaking of bikes, do people commonly mount three on the base? Having two per base (or an attack bike) for a full 10 man mounted assault squad in a formation makes gobs of sense to me (and matches with the speeder formation). |

Personally yes, but then I like the look of having lots of models of a base and go for what I think looks aesthetically best and right for particular models and units - hence I base Khorne Minotaurs 4 to a base, Slaanesh Fiends 3 to a base, Plaguebearers 7 to a base and things like that. I love the flexibility the EpicA basing rules give you over the aesthetics of numbers and bases size/shape
