extra armour on rhino?

[aperfectcircle]

I am designing an army with 2 rhinos transporting beserkers and csm into front line battle - I'm new to the game and would like to know if extra armour is really necessary on the rhinos, I mean do you use it much/does it come into play often? Maybe better use of points on a couple of csm or something? What's people's experiences on this?

 

Thanks All :lol:

deffinatly keep it, the ability to always move (well unless you rhino dies lol) is essential for troop transportation

I think with rhinos its definitely necessary. Id like to know what people think about extra armour on landraiders though because as a fairly fluffy Night Lord player i wouldnt take demonic possesion but wonder if all that heavy armour is enough on its own to transport infantry.

on a landraider raider?

in all honesty i wouldn't bother

if they glance/penatrate AV14 they deserve to stop you haha

but @ 5(?) points why not?

It's too dang expensive on a rhino. For a mere 5 points more though you can ignore Stunned and Shaken instead of just Stunned. Sure you drop a point in BS, but that's not the prime objective of a rhino. Now, it happens just as rarely as before, so it never bothers me.
