I think you were reading more into the title than was there.

LOL so giving Biker gangs the experience to fight with hard core weaponry, learn on the job battle knowledge and if the punk survive this idiocy allowing him to return back to NL with a woncky battle scarred mind that's has not been de compressed sound just peachy.
Are we all been led by idiots?
Cheers and rev that bike.

Seemed obvious to me that it was talking about bikers going overseas to fight.

Whoa, ISIL is toast now. You just don't mess with biker gangs. Haven't they seen 'Sons of Anarchy'?

Yeah, Bikers like SoA would probably put some hurt on Daesh thugs !

Seems like this brings reality full circle to the GW business model/product line.

I imagine we'll see lots of skulls and spikey bits on their bikes, soon.

Rather interesting when reality imitates fantasy art/wargaming.

Could be cool for W40K. You could use the Ravenwing rules.
