Goatboy’s Warhammer 40K: CSM Bikers of the Apocalypse
Goatboy here with a Chaos Space Marine fever dream idea utilizing as many CSM Bikers as I can. Let’s ride!
CSM Bikers are an interesting unit as they care both CORE and can carry an ICON. The question then is how do we make them well – annoying. I could do some fun stuff utilizing Prayers, Marks, and specific legions.
Obviously Red Corsairs are neat as they can advance and charge. You throw in 3 Flamers and you get a unit that can rush up, unload some damage, and charge in. Creations of Bile are also interesting as well because they end up being 15 inch driving Bikes who can charge in as Strength 6 with Ap-2 Chainswords. Since we are looking at this as an Assault option it makes me think Bile might be a fun option beyond just the crazy conversion ability you could throw around.
Let’s go all in and build out a CSM Bikers list utilizing Creations of Bile as the Legion. Too bad we can’t have a Chaos Lord on a bike but will throw in some Lord Discordants to help keep up with the bikers. We will also add in a Dark Apostle to bring some sweet prayers to the game.

Riding for Chaos
The idea is pretty simple – you have 3 different CSM Bikers units you can throw some powers on and let them get close and burn/churn thru the enemy. I am sure going Red Corsairs might be better and just all Khorne to come in hot – but these Creations of Bile guys can all do some interesting thing. The Tzeentch one can have some AP to throw some damage out for those non Armor of Contempt armies. The Khorne hits very hard, while the Slaanesh can advance and charge if needed from the Dark Apostle. The Possessed are there to throw down banners, get in the way, and maybe Kool-aid man thru a wall or two.
For the Warmaster!
