Eight Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 You can start in the Raider. What gave you the impression you couldn't? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164264-power-armour-in-landraiders-clarification/#findComment-1931428 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Eight Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 because in the new codex it doesn't give u the option for dedicated transport options for hq choice only the honour guard or command squad and it only says rhino , razorback or drop pod and land raiders aint in the dedicated transport part of the army list .Am i reading this wrong Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164264-power-armour-in-landraiders-clarification/#findComment-1931432 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiveFleetEzekial Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 No, you're not reading it wrong. It's like that for a reason. You can't buy landraiders for normal power armored squads. You couldn't do that even with the previous codex. LR's are meant for the veterans, the elite soldiers of an army. Not every rank-amd-file grunt. (and 17 landraiders, in a single FOC chart, would be way too much, anyways! ) Only certain armies have ever had the ability to field so many at once (DW). And even those were still all elites/veterans of the army as a whole, not basic rank-and-file grunts. (sadly, even DW nolonger have that ability) Â Now, you can buy a landraider as a heavy support choice, and then start a tactical squad inside it. But you can't just 'buy' them one, as dedicated, to free up the heavy support slots.

MillardFlemming Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 First, please use periods. Secondly, you can field any unit in the Land Raider, as long as they all fit, but the Land Raider will take up a heavy support slot. The Dedicated transports just don't take up slots. Â EDIT: Sorry, Ezekial beat me to it.

Tanthius Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 You take land raider as heavy support choice and deploy your power armors inside it.

Shortsonfire79 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Only certain armies have ever had the ability to field so many at once (DW). And even those were still all elites/veterans of the army as a whole, not basic rank-and-file grunts. (sadly, even DW nolonger have that ability) Â Actually, from what I've been reading, most DA players still use the DA codex, so then the DW can still 'technically' use the LR as a dedicated transport. (4th ed codex I believe (I don't have it infront of me atm, sorry if I am mistaken)). Because once you have Belial, and the DW as troops, then you have 9 slots to take 9 Land Raiders with...as messed up as that may be...

HiveFleetEzekial Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Sadly, no.. we can't take more than 3. Our DW squads have no options for buying dedicated LR's for them. Theirs must come from HS slots. Heck, for that matter, we don't have any dedicated LR options. (so yet another thing smurfs and their kin get over us) C: SM get to top out at a possible 5 max. 2 dedicated (one normal termie squad and one assault termie squad) and 3 HS choices.

Scott-S6 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Any unit can start deployed in a transport provided it's not a dedicated transport to another squad. Â e.g. you can start a tac squad in a heavy suport land raider. However, you cannot start them in a LR bought for a termie squad.

Roland Durendal Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Only current Army that can take a LR as dedicated transport right now is the BTs. They can give their Crusader squads an LRC as a dedicated transport, ergo the fun competition that occasionally arises amongst BT players as to who can fit the most LRCs in a given list -_- Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164264-power-armour-in-landraiders-clarification/#findComment-1932013 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seahawk Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Codex: Space Marines has land raiders as dedicated transports for terminators. Only one for each sure, but we still got 'em. The crusader can only carry 16 models, not 18.
