Arkos Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Hi all, I'm new here! just turn to be renegades from my BT army, now playing Alpha Legion for I loved the fluff so much. 1 question that I need to get some light out here. I'm trying to take a Chaos Lord (Terminator armour) accompany by 4 Termi bodyguard. all come with combi meltas and I would like to stuff them in the Land raider. I've been looking around for advice if this combination is good enough? :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/171290-terminators-in-land-raider/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuskRaider Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I prefer to Deep Strike my Terminator Lord and his retinue, but I can definitely see taking them in a Land Raider. For one thing, it saves a HS spot for something else. As far as the Combi-Meltas go, are you going to be using them for Anti-Tank or what? I guess it depends what you're up against.

Arkos Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 DuskRaider, as for my Termis, they are use as antitank purposes. Thats why I'm thinking of outflanking my opponent by mounting them into LR. Wouldn't be deepstriking them abit risky?

DuskRaider Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Deep striking can be risky, but I give each of my troop squad champions personal icons, so I can Deep Strike my Terminators down to support any struggling unit. Works quite well. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/171290-terminators-in-land-raider/#findComment-2024042 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drudge Dreadnought Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 A lord with a terminator retinue is not a good anti tank unit. Your lord's melta isn't really any better than a regular guy's, but his points cost is way higher. A land raider is also inadviseable for a tank hunting squad. The squad you are describing is ~600 points for a tank hunting squad that is inferior to a pair of 3 man terminator squads with meltas that cost 105 points each. So, if you want to use terminators as anti tank do it in squads of 3 with combi meltas deepstriking. This is a really good anti tank option and is used in tournament lists. The problem with it is that, fluffwise, its a very un-terminator sort of thing to do. Land Raider terminator squads are for getting them into CC. For a CC squad i suggest combi plasma if you use any combi weapon, or get them some claws. Or keep with just power weapons and TL bolters to have them cheap. Regardless, have atleast 1 fist. My personal favorite terminator squad is a 5 man with Icon of Chaos Glory, Power Fist, and Combi Plasma. 195 points, deepstrike with 10 combi plas shots, then assaults the next turn. Is often known to kill its point value just with the combi plas (especially vs meqs) and then usually has enough guys survive the enemy shooting phase to do some damage or contest an objective.

chillin Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 , as for my Termis, they are use as antitank purposes. Thats why I'm thinking of outflanking my opponent by mounting them into LR. That's WAAAAY too expensive to use as anti-tank, and a lord as antitank ??? Very bad use of pts all the way around. Want anti-tank termi's, 3-4 termi's w/ combimelts DS near a tank, @ 100 pts (for 3) as opposed to 600.

Hmmm, I like this idea a lot! Would be nice for a retinue as well. Maybe not as cost effective, but cool just the same.
