Br0ther Rafen Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Hey Guys So, I was flipping the codex a few days back, and I realized that Assualt Squads can take cheap Land Raiders. Now, i'm not going to try making this config, I am just curious, but i wanted to know what you guys think on the subject, have you tried it out before, etc. Any thoughts? Thanks for any input in advance. Rafen Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219606-massed-land-raiders/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chairman_woo Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Yup you can spam 4 fairly reliably, and no its not a great deal of fun for your opponent bouncing armour 14 for turn after turn. Expect groans if you were to deploy such an army (not that its especially OP so much as its exeptionally irritating, and predictable)...

Plague Angel Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Of course, a real man would field his entire army in Land Raiders, then deep strike all of them... ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219606-massed-land-raiders/#findComment-2619996 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Captain Kezef Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Played around with a raider list on Battlescribe, costing it up and such. looks real boring tbh but asmentioned it'll annoy the hell outof the other guy.

Captain Juan Juarez Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 .....not that its especially OP so much as its exeptionally irritating, and predictable.. It has the C Factor, rather than being OP as Chairman Woo states.

Ebsolom Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I've not tried it out and probably never would, I want my friends to enjoy the game as well ;) B) . Also LR's are pricey £-wise.

Brother Nathan Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 dosent leave much points for the things in the raiders. there were some complaints about it at the start, but i think most have reised we still do have to pay both ways for landraiders and so given up...

grazer Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I've played against lists with 2 and 3 raiders and they are boring as there's nothing else in the lists to really deal with. Possible, but terribly boring to fight against. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219606-massed-land-raiders/#findComment-2620339 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamaNagol Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 With mech being so prevalent in this edition, most armies have ample ways to take out 3-4 Land Raiders over 6 turns if there are no other threats on the board to deal with.

Mech is KingTM, Long live the King! Melta is KingTM, Long live the King! Ah, a delicious paradox.

Heimdall Skullcrusher Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 You could fit 6 Land Raiders into a 2000 point army. Thats ridiculous. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219606-massed-land-raiders/#findComment-2625243 Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfpack Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I have 5 in my army now...and am building/ converting two others for magged weaps swaps...of course this is for APOC games only...I would never field 7 LRs against an opponent in a normal battle...(or would I) nah that's just nasty...LMAO :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219606-massed-land-raiders/#findComment-2632079 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanguinarian Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 You could fit 6 Land Raiders into a 2000 point army. Thats ridiculous. Best. Day. Ever. That would be sick, but at roughly 333 points per LR and squad it wouldn't pack much of a punch unless you gave 2 ICs their own rides. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219606-massed-land-raiders/#findComment-2632098 Share on other sites More sharing options...
