minigun762 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Anyone see any value in taking a tiny unit of stock terminators in order to field a land raider? I'm thinking of the raider more as a gun platform and less as a transport but you know how quickly heavy slots are filled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Ambroz Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Multiple small units. I don't really see the point Minigun. I've never been a big fan of normal landraiders. I think they're too expensive and it has to be pointing directly at whatever its target is in order to use both lascannons. Plus we can get really cheap tri-las preds now.

minigun762 Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 Odd. I always thought MSU = minimum sized units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Sage Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I think it would be interested had it not been for the fact that the new rules stipulates FOC changes at 2K points. Rarely will you want 1 land raider and 3 heavy support units under 2K, and I can certainly not see 3 H support units and 2 land raiders with termies under 2K. You won`t have troops or FA then, except maybe minimum cultists. Doesn`t sound like a balanced force, but maybe it could work for some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urauloth Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 If we had access to a land raider that was even halfway worthwhile, definitely. As it is, though, 230pts is a hell of a lot for a box with a twin-linked lascannon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galadren Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Honestly I'm paying for a land raider for the Assault Vehicle feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caffeineated Chaos Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Honestly I'm paying for a land raider for the Assault Vehicle feature. This. If I ever buy a land raider ever again, hadn't chaosed or primed mine and ended up selling them to a buddy who was looking to build up a loyalist force.

minigun762 Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 Honestly I'm paying for a land raider for the Assault Vehicle feature. Fair point. In that case, is 4 terminators + HQ as an assault unit worth it? Its a fluffy choice but I don't see how we can use the terminator + raider combo nearly as well as loyalist can.

Undivided termie sorcerer with M lv 3 can do some interesting stuff when he walks out of that land raider with his bodyguards, but maybe not the ideal set up exactly.
