Which land raider?


Recommended Posts

I currently have 5 termis w/ Thunder hammer/Storm sheild and i put them in a land raider i was thinking about getting 5 termis and putting them with it and then getting a crusader for the A termis. What should i get crusader or redemer or another land raider. Also can u have lots of transports (that arent dedicated, just like a random blob of razors) without them taking FOC

slots ?

 

Thanks

Redeemers get a lot more respect than crusaders. While crusaders are more likely to actually get a good kill-count they don't have the same impact on the opponents play as the redeemers. Worth taking into consideration. 

 

Never! As a fleshtearer captain, I can safely say that bodycount and gore matters! WAAAAGGGHHH!

 

Oops, wrong species :)

 

I actually agree with your post, its just that I haven't made many smartass remarks on here yet :D

You can take Razorbacks with nothing inside but they have to have a parent unit. So if you take 2 units of 5 marines, you can take 2 razorbacks and just not put the unit in it.

Regarding the land raiders, I think it would depend on the rest of your list. Generally, I'll take a crusader. It has a larger troop capacity and the Hurricane Bolters have a similar range to the rest of my footsloggers. I would take a Redeemer over that however if the tables on which you play tend to have a lot of cover.

I've just bought another raider. For those of you that caught it earlier there was a thread up about raider spam.

 

I'm going to try out one of the 5 raider variation posted in that thread;

 

Mephiston

2* naked assault squads in phobos raiders

2* naked assault squads in redeemer raiders with pintle MM

1* naked assault squad in redeemer

2* whirlwinds

 

Gonna borrow the rest of the raiders. 

Sounds fun. I'll keep a lookout for your report. We need all the info/experience shared we can in order to keep the IX Legion sharp. smile.png

It's likely to be my project for the fall. Right now I have a painting backlog to deal with for my pods n dreads lists. :)
