Land Raiders and Space Wolves

Local Tread-Head here!

 

I currently own four Land Raiders, one Crusader, one Helios and two Phobos pattern Raiders.

 

I'm considering two more Crusaders for two full size Blood Claw packs in the assault bays.

 

I once ran two at 1500 points but found too much tied up into too few units and don't currently use them outside of Apocalypse because I'm rewriting all my lists and trying new things.

 

Land Raiders are effective because they have a high armour valu, reasonable to ridiculous transpot capacities and can dish out a load of firepower, helped by power of the machine spirit.

 

If you're buying a Land Raider I suggest you buy a Phobos pattern Land Raiderand the Crusader/Redeemer upgrade sprue from GW direct. I magnetise the sponsons on my Land Raiders by inserting a length of magnetic tape between the two sections of one side of the hull, in the door, then I glue some sparebits of sprue to the sponson with some magnets attached and it woks perfectly, meaning I can have for Land Raiders of any varient, even some of the FW ones.

 

These are the magnets and magnetic tape I use

I picked up a redeemer on my birthday, in the process of painting/converting it. I didn't have a fun time making it (which is odd, as I had a great tiem with the hell hammer and razor back). The 'top' just plain didn't fit, the left pin was sheared off thje fron door (bottom) on the sprue (a bitch to fix), and the sponsons had a bizarre prediliction to refuse to glue (who knows why?). But it looks imposing!

 

Here's a tip though, don't put it near the bane blade/hell hammer, the size difference will make you cry!
