almost every company of a chapter has a techmarine(s) assigned to it, and for the ravenwing a techmarine is an absolute must. every unit in the dark angels' 2nd company is a ravenwing bike or land speeder, so a techmarine would be on a ravenwing bike (don't know if a tech can be in speeder).

now, the dark angel codex, current and previous editions, states clearly that every ravenwing bike has a teleport homer, so logically speaking a techmarine would also have a teleport homer on his ravenwing bike.

so to the issue i pose - i kit-bashed a ravenwing techmarine recently and was looking for the cost of adding a teleport homer only to find that they aren't listed as an upgrade to buy, so i took his 95 point cost (bike, power weapon, auspex, melta bombs) and added 5 for the homer to round it up to 100 points.

this has led to a debate on whether or not he should have the homer - teleport homer's can't be bought as an upgrade, so he shouldn't be allowed one and i do accept that point. but the codex is explicit in regards to every ravenwing bike having a homer, and narratively speaking it makes no sense for him not to have one, but i do wonder if 5 points is maybe a little cheap for such gear.

thoughts?
