MuGGzy Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Possibly a noob question... In the codex it has a section for "Transports" which contains a Land Raider, and mentions it's carrying capacity etc and that it can be dedicated as a transport etc. Then right below is the Heavy Support section and there is another Grey Knight Land Raider with all the same stats and rules etc. So, if I have various squads of PAGK or TGKs can I give them a dedicated Land Raider Transport and it will not count as Heavy Support? or do I have to "buy" the HS GK LR and then put them in it? If the latter is the case, then who gets a "dedicated" LR transport besides the Inquisitor lord HQ? Basically I am trying to figure out if/how I can use both my LRs AND my GK Dreads in the same force.

Doomaflatchi Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Only the Inquisitor Lord gets the Land Raider as a dedicated transport option. All other Land Raiders must be purchased as Heavy Support slots. Note, however, that as per the FAQ, only the Grey Knight Land Raider (the Heavy Support option) gets Power of the Machine Spirit and counts as an Assault Vehicle. The dedicated transport option, which is listed only as "Land Raider", does not.

Inquisitor Fox Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Doomaflatchi is mostly right.. the Elites slot Inquisitor may also purchase a Land Raider transport just like the HQ slot one, however both Inquisitors may only purchase this transport option if they have a Retinue as well. At least currently. I'm betting all this is up in the air once the new Codex gets here in April :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/221304-gks-and-land-raiders/#findComment-2643186 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuGGzy Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 Thanks for the info guys. As someone who is more into the modeling and spending side of the hobby I couldn't resist buying a pile of stuff that I now find out I cannot even field, well at least not right now. Oh well, still fun to paint. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/221304-gks-and-land-raiders/#findComment-2643201 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazer Rackham Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Ah, but do not put any of it on an auction site as yet good sir, there are rumblings afoot - those rumblings may well be the engines of the Land Raider options you propose...!

Good catch! :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/221304-gks-and-land-raiders/#findComment-2643639 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor Fox Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 *Grins* no problem! I similarly have a major problem trying to remember silly Astartes details ... comes from having way to many ISTs and Sororitas for so long :D I am Teh Suxxorz at the actual power armor armies... :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/221304-gks-and-land-raiders/#findComment-2643707 Share on other sites More sharing options...
