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.

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 https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/263685-msu-termies-for-land-raider/#findComment-3212644 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.

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.

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 https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/263685-msu-termies-for-land-raider/#findComment-3212785 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.
