Brother Kirus Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Greetings gentlemen, I am planning to paint a land speeder and I am not sure what configuration to assemble. I am going to use/paint only one so I need to figure out the best choice. I was hoping that you guys can provide some suggestions. Thank you!

Jonas Stromclaw Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Typhoon missile launcher or Multimelta + Heavy flamer are the two most popular loadouts. I prefer the former.

Brother Kirus Posted April 15, 2011 Author Share Posted April 15, 2011 Thank you for reply guys! Two more questions: 1) Multimelta + Heavy. If I understand correctly I would have to convert (which is very preferable for me) the heavy flamer, right? It should fit underneath the land speeder? 2)Typhoon missile launcher. What is better to give to the gunner? Also, I do not know if it helps to make a choice but the speeder is going to belong to Iron Wolf great company.

Also, I do not know if it helps to make a choice but the speeder is going to belong to Iron Wolf great company. 2) Stick with the heavy bolter if you go with Typhoon missile launcher. The similar range on the weapons means you never have to be closer than 36" to an enemy which helps greatly with its survival. If one goes with Melta or Flamer on it one can be too tempted to get in close to get your points back with the weapons which can just mean you blow the hell up. HB is cheap and has better synergy with the Typhoon.

Natanael Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I have one Typhoon with Heavy Bolter but my best combination is the 2x2 Speeders with double heavy bolters. But since you're just gonna do one, go with the Typhoon/HB-combination. Most bang for the buck, IMO. - Natanael Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/227515-need-help-with-land-speeder-choice/#findComment-2725721 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverwolf Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I go either double Typhoons, or a Typhoon and a twin M.Melta tornado these days. 9 times out of 10 the double Typhoons. Better range, more versatile, and thanks to their range - more ability to deal with pesky flankers or enemy skimmers.

Brother Kirus Posted April 15, 2011 Author Share Posted April 15, 2011 So, over all, most of you agree that Typhoon/heavy bolter is a better choice. Thank you, guys!

CainTheHunter Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 In that case - Typhoon missile launcher! It looks plain badass! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/227515-need-help-with-land-speeder-choice/#findComment-2725794 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Try switching the missile pods and putting them sideways. It looks infinitely cooler, especially since you can use them as Tempests with a little bit more conversion work.
