Editing Bike Squad (section)

==Imperial Guard==
[[File:Cadian-rough-riders-1-large.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Why do those [[Space Marines|guys]] always get the good stuff?]]
The [[Imperial Guard]] also has their own bike squads, but they are naturally not as [[awesome]] as the Space Marine bike squads. Rather than having two storm bolters, our Guardsmen have...''nothing''. While this may put the poor men in t-shirts at a disadvantage, the Imperial Guard's bike is more useful for scouting purposes than as a fast attack vehicle. They are often made for [[Rough Riders]] who don't like maintaining the horsies and prefer a more simple and cost effective mount.

They also look more like regular old motorcycles.

On tabletop, since these guys are grouped as 'Rough Riders in all but name', they will likewise have the same rules even though [[Derp|what they're <s>riding</s> driving on is not an animal in the slightest and they usually carry a Laspistol rather than a Hunting Lance.]] But because GW is lazy <s>(and after Chapterhouse, they're not going to make rules for models they never made remakes)</s>, they decided to why not make these guys [[Count as]] space cavalry.

In the newest update, 8th Edition's been kinder to Rough Riders than 7th Edition was. Their hunting lances are no longer one use only, being S+2 AP:-2 and do D3 damage, but still only when they successfully charge. Cheaper, twice the wounds, and now their flak armor might actually do a damn thing, though not against most multiwounding weapons. In addition, they may perform Flanking. In 9th Edition, we now have actual Rough Riders back.
