Exhaust Cloud
Warbikers produce great clouds of smoky exhaust fumes, giving them a 4+ Cover Save.
Turbo-Boosters
This special rule is automatically lost by an independent character joining a unit that does not have this special rule, and vice versa.

Units mounted on bikes and jetbikes may utilise turbo-boosters to move at extreme speed. When using their turbo-boosers they may move up to 24" in the movement phase. Controlling their bike at such speeds takes all their concentration and skill, however, so they may not move through difficult terrain, shoot, launch assaults, or move in the Assault phase in the same turn. In the following enemy shooting phase, treat the bike's Armour Save as being an Invulnerable Save, to represent the difficulty of hitting such fast-moving targets. A unit using turbo-boosters must end its move at least 18" away from its starting position to claim this Invulnerable Save, as it relies on flat-out speed.
