Captain Semper Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 It should but it didn't... BTW Godhammer is the name of the twin linked lascannons not the tank... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Master Raziel Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I think GW decided to back off the 12-capacity Land Raider, because the entry in Codex: Blood Angels has it at 10-capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Captain Sharp Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 It should but it didn't... BTW Godhammer is the name of the twin linked lascannons not the tank... The name's catching on seems like. It a colloquial term for the regular Land Raider. And no, Phobos isn't the name either. That's a Forge World. :lol: Edit: And yeah, Land Raiders are back to 10. So are Drop Pods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Master Belial Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 i just looked at the C:SM and the Godhammer Land raiders can carry 12 models?! whats up with that? should that have also been fixed in the FAQ? When C:SM came out the reasoning for the high capacity was the Ultramarines compulsion for efficiency. They took the time to figure out ways to pack em in so that two more marines or one more terminator could board and it was a quirk that was to stick with them and no one else. Much like our quirk of having all Terminators for our 1st company that can mix-match weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the Ultramarines were privy to to one of few surviving copies of this ancient Terran guide... http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/09/1966_Twister_Cover.jpg ...although it could just be that this is a long standing tradition on Ultramar too... http://blogs.sfweekly.com/thesnitch/crowded-phone-booth.jpg ...and so it just comes naturally for them to fit 12 dudes in a Land Raider. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also said that while it would change in later editions of vanilla marines they didn't view it as a neccesity to change as it does add a little variety to the codex's (all beit a small bit).

Xenith Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 The UM are so square that they removed the mini bar from all of their Land Raiders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
