Spacemarine pilots - all techmarines?
Quick question - it seems that a lot if not all, of Space Marine Flyer kits, have the pilot as techmarines.
But can anyone say, is this in line with the fluff? I was not aware that all flyers had to be piloted by techmarines. The Lexicanum doesn't mention this on the techmarine entry.
There is no in-game benefit to a techmarine pilot - although if you pop one in transport there would be.
Just seems a waste of a techmarine's skill because what they learn on Mars is more mechanics to me rather than driver skills - obviously the former helps you understand the latter. But certainly used to be most Space Marines of any length of service were trained on most vehicle types in chapter.
