Skirax Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 This really should be in the Amicus Aides - but as clanfield says, they are basic Lascannon/Heavy Bolter combination variant of the Land Raider.

El Scotcho Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 It's in our new 'dex, just read the fluff page on the land raider basic pattern. The godhammer lascannon is the twin linked version.

Grey Mage Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 the standard las canon type thanks for that ive never seen them described as such in any of the books Well that would be because theyre mythical. Technically speaking there is no "Godhammer" pattern in the fluff. Its a player term for the Standard Landraider with Lascannons, wich actually goes by the pattern name of "Phobos". Of course, only about 1/4 players knows that anyways... so most people will continue to use godhammer to get their point accross.

Sorry, I don't have the codex with me atm, but does that mean that all Twin-Linked Lascannons are Godhammer pattern?

Sorry, I don't have the codex with me atm, but does that mean that all Twin-Linked Lascannons are Godhammer pattern? Nope, "Godhammer" refers to the specific arrangement of Lascannons on the sponson of a Land Raider. Back in the days of the Heresy, when Land Raiders were practically the only way of mounting a TLLC on a vehicle (no Predator Annihilator, few Dreadnoughts, no Thunderhawks etc) the Land Raiders were the mailed fist of the Emperor - the hammer of false gods. As Grey Mage has quite correctly said, Phobos is the true pattern designation. The complete list is Phobos, Crusader, Redeemer, Prometheous (4xTLHB and command network) and Helios (WW Missile Turret replaces TLHB).

The open topped one used by the World Eaters during the Heresy, died out with them.

Grimmwulf Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 And there is the Terminus Ultra Pattern from the Apocalypse book, which has 3x TLLC and 2x LC and a chance of blowing itself up by overheating, i think.

Hfran Morkai Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 i believe the deimos is the dark angel one armed with a Demolisher cannon, assault cannon and sponson heavy flamers I think that's an Ares but I'm unsure.

Felonious Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 whats the scource for the phobos name please.its new to me is it a forge world text iv not got any of them for a long old time Not sure fluff wise, but Phobos and Deimos are the 2 moons of Mars (home of the Adeptus Mechanicus), so maybe the plans to make one were found there?

Wulf Vengis Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I hate to interrupt but I feel I should thank you for this topic. This is the fluff of 40k that keeps me in the game. I love to learn this stuff. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/181661-godhammer-land-raiders/#findComment-2151241 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The spartan was used by more than just the world eaters - the original designs in white dwarf had the smurfs using one ~O Excuse me, but yes that should have been "Deimos" pattern, like the other moon of mars. Ive only heard reference to it on boards... it may very well be mythical. One person said they remembered reading in an early white dwarf how the phobos pattern was setup to be produced on the moon phobos and the deimos on the other and that the main difference was actually where the GHLCs were set up. But that was the most detailed info I ever heard on it, and that was down in tactic astartes about a year ago.

Grimmwulf Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I am in need of a quick rules clarification concerning Landraiders and I did not want to create another question thread so here it goes :P If I buy a Landraider as dedicated Transport for 3 WG, which all are attached to different GH squads, can one of those squads start the game in the LR?
