Xeenos Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Okay, so, im thinking im taking 3 WG for 3 squads. I also want to take a Land Raider. So what im thinking here is that i can take the Land Raider as a Dedicated Transport for the WG, but only they as a squad would be able to start the game inside it... So what im picturing here is i set up the land Raider like sideways and pile the squad that is going to ride in it, behind it, just incase i dont get turn 1 so they dont get shot at! Now when my turn comes, i can then load them up right away, and then move the Land Raider its full speed. Basicly a cheep way of using a dedicated Transport for another squad. Just thought you could do the same with an Iron Priest if you wanted.. get some Long Fangs, or if you have Grey Hunters going in a LR you can get it as a dedicated from them, then set the Iron Priest behind it.. and jump in turn one and steam across the field. While its not really an issue to take the LR as a heavy, im curious if im understanding the rules right here.. and is this super fecking cheep to do? Feels like it would be. But a LRR with 3 Vindicators.. Mmm.. thats alot of Boom. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/192271-dedicated-transport-question/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglespuss Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Isn't the dedicate transport stuff gone yet? or do drivers still turn a blind eye to poor squad B getting shot to bits, when no one is inside the transport...

Natanael Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Nowadays anyone can use any transport, it is just that with a dedicated transport the squad you bought it for is the only one that may start the game in it. But Xeenos, you are right. You may do it that way, and it works. Not very cheesy at all, IMO.

Spacefrisian Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I find it quite funny that people put the front of the Landraider towards the enemy in regards of letting another unit embark. Its armour 14 all around so you could just put the rear towards the enemy and have the unit that you want in it embark through the front hatch.

JamesI Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 It blocks line of sight better if you turn it sideways, and since it has side entry hatches, the unit can get in quickly.

stinkenheim Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 i point mine towards the enemy because i dislike the idea of it moving sideways towards someone, its a tank not a crab.... having said that i see the tatical benefits of leaving it side on whilst out of range of the weapons Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/192271-dedicated-transport-question/#findComment-2282579 Share on other sites More sharing options...
