Scout Bikers are a Space Marine fast reconnaissance unit.

Description

Racing across the blasted battlegrounds of the 41st Millennium, Scout Bikers use their speed and manoeuvrability to outflank and outwit their foes. Shadowing their enemies' movements, the Scout Bikers probe for weaknesses and assess the foe's intentions. Only once the element of surprise is guaranteed do they strike, roaring suddenly from concealment with guns blazing.
