Brother dean Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Eg, army has no squads which can use rhinos as transport, can I still feild rhinos? No. Rhinos can only be bought as options for squads. There is not an option to buy them outside of a squad therefore your example is impossible. You can however buy them with the squad but not put the squad in them...

lhg033 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 i dont think so - they are purchased as a dedicated transport for a unit. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/263498-rhinos-as-decoys/#findComment-3210157 Share on other sites More sharing options...
EPK Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Correct as above and also not sure that's such a great strategy even if you could. Your opponent knows exactly what is in the rhino (in this situation - nothing) and can deal with it at his own leisure as they don't really pose much of a threat.

Other than that, rhinos seem to be easy first blood these days ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/263498-rhinos-as-decoys/#findComment-3210283 Share on other sites More sharing options...
EPK Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Very true, so he'll probably deal with it as soon as possible then. lol. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/263498-rhinos-as-decoys/#findComment-3210320 Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndigoJack Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I wouldn't worry too much about first blood from the rhino. Speeders are even more fragile and people still take them. Rhinos are good for two things: Hauling a unit up the board quickly, and blocking LoS. And remember, every shot fired into that rhino is a shot not fired into the troops that you need to capture objectives with.
