2x land raiders at 1k?

It depends on the players you normally meet.

 

On Tournaments no one comes with a knife to a gunfight =) so there it is totally ok to bring even 3 LRs at 1k :)

 

If you gaming group is full of fluffplayers who totally think: "I don't play you, you play cheesy lists" or "Your list is competative and competative equals boring!" (yes there ARE people like that...) then I wouldn't play them with 2 LRs.

 

In my own opinion, it's totally ok, because everyone packs Meltaguns and such to deal with Land Raiders.... No big deal. Because you don't have the points to fill the 2 LR with some Uber Unit.

If your opponent plays the (in my gaming group) usual MSU style, they won't have much trouble dealing with such a Rock army =)

thanks for that nurglez! :D

 

was just thinking of an army idea and thought "hey! i can take 2 land raiders for my guys to heroically hide in!" (otherwise they will get shot dead...)

 

was thinking of taking standard land raiders for the lascannons...(im scared of not having enough anti tank!)

The old 3rd Ed Water army list was based on 1000pts with 2x Godhammer Land Raiders, 2x 5-man PAGK with Incinerator, and 1x Brother-Captain with Psycannon. The same list can still be played in 5th Ed, only with all Psycannons (incinerator are too expansive).

ok...thanks for the reply. If i can give a good fluff reason why though-no problem, right? (plus im unable to take much else after buying 2 raiders)

 

Yes, you can give excellent fluff reasons, that being that GK are the BEST of the BEST in the Imperium, thus they will take LR's over Rhinos, and use Terms over regular GK's if the situation calls for it (it usually does). I just played a list exactly like the one Nurglez mentioned last month in a tourny and was actually praised at how fluffy it was.

No, I read you earlier work and then made a 10 pally draigo + lone paladin 1000 pt list and then played it locally. Only change was that 2 of the paladins were exactly the same in the 10 man unit , so naturally those two had to die first for wound allocation. Would have been over pts if one was totally customized.
