Bike heavy armies have been around for ages, Rork. Ravenwing, Siam Hann, and Trait Marines for example.
I'm still on the fence on this issue personally. I can't see it being horrible for the spear elves, fair enough they should strike first with their long stabby implements against a charging enemy. But a Sword Master armed with a great weapon getting his hit in ahead of a Knight with a 10 foot lance? Just how the hell did he manage that short of flinging his sword at the knight? I can't see that happening, for me it borders on the utterly ridiculous.
"He's been practicing a lot." Well I'm sorry that just doesn't cut it for me, nothing short of magic IMO is gonna let him get around that lance.
