MRC(+) Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Just wanted to clarify a question I had.... my understanding is that the only Land Raider variants approved for Tournament play are the ones in the current Codexes (i.e. regular, Crusader, and Redeemer).... the Helios, Ares, Spartan, Terminus, ect. are only allowed if your opponets gives you special permission, correct? Also, any update on the CAR (Caestus Assault Ram) being allowed for general/Tournament play? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freakiq Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 That's up to the tournament organizer (or opponent during casual play). Generally tournaments only allow the Phobos, Crusader and Redeemer though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty the Pyro Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 While it likey varies from turny to turny, and as such will behove you to ask the individuals in charge of said turny, generaly you are only allowed to use units from your codex, not from IA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Yep- when in doubt, ask your opponent. When at a tournament, ask the TO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJQ Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Allowed use of the Caestus Assault Ram seems to vary. Our local GW manager says it is allowed in game play here and house tournaments. I didn't ask him for specifics, but I suspect it's because it has a full rule set, is low points value, and is a fast attack class vehicle vice say super heavies that are allowed in Apocalypse only. I have one and let me say that in practice it's not as amazing a vehicle as the rules would make it seem. For example, while it's nice to be able to carry up to 10 assault terminators/IC, they can't assault after a deep strike or moves over 12". Forget cover for this beast (it's high and huge), and it's rear armor is only 11. If I need some 'residual' firepower after delivering assault terminators, I still prefer to use my LRC.

Grey Mage Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Its probly just because he likes it. The :P things incredibly powerful for its price- who cares about its rear AV anyways? Unless your playing vs Eldar/DE youll only see it once every six or seven games. They could up the price a hundred points and it still would be a competitive transport option for a heavy assault unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
