Ikken Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 so i got lucky on ebay last week and won a lot of 4 land speeders , which brings me to 6 total . now my question is what do i do with them all . I remember som discussion on beasts of war back when they still covred warhammer about deepstriking them in kitted out with 2 multi melts and poping tanks but that was back in 5th . does anyone use them in 6th and are they effective ?

Skeld Ironthews Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I use a wing of three with heavy bolters and typhoons. Good to pop the occasional tank and for anti heavy infantry. Keep them moving and they tend to be ignored for a turn until my opponent realised how much hurt they put out.

logun Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 yeah typhoons for me to, they can put out some good fire power while still keeping moving. got cheaper in the marine dex as well, so hopefully we'll get a drop in price to.

Thunderhawk3015 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I have 5 Typhoon variants with MM great little things for tank hunting then cleanup on whatever the Grey Hunters have left for them Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290510-land-speeders-anyone-use-them/#findComment-3673072 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I prefer to run with a heavy bolter typhoon- strength 8 shooting that ignores most saves is far to valuable to pass up, and on a fast moving platform with a built in saving throw? Heck yes, great for hunting down tau suits, getting side armor on IG tanks- particularly good against artillery and chimera- or even getting some rear armor shots on eldar later in the game. If I wasnt running that, itd be dual or single meltas, no question.

Sohail187 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Landspeeders are AMAZING!!!!! and i recently discovered how to make them even more amazing. Land speeder javelin for 95 points you can take cyclone missile laucnher, multi melta and 2 hunter killer missiles. Now here is the sexy THING!!! its AV 11 front and side and and and IT HAS OUTFLANK!. Its a tiny bit more than the standard typhoon speeder but you get so much more!!! these babies are devastating!!! 5 Str 8 shots the turn they show up!! and if you get good position anything will die. Alternative if you just wanted to use standard speeders I always think its worth giving them precience if you are taking a squadron!

Valerian Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Alternative if you just wanted to use standard speeders I always think its worth giving them precience if you are taking a squadron! How do you give a Land Speeder Squadron Prescience?

Nadir Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Erm... By the power of Rune Priest? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290510-land-speeders-anyone-use-them/#findComment-3673388 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valerian Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Erm... By the power of Rune Priest? Yeah, I suppose that's it. If the Squadron still happens to be within 12" of the Rune Priest then that'd work.

Nadir Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 It is possible. If I remember correctly, you have t ocast your powers in the movement phase. So: cast the spell, move your LS, and do some damage.

If the Squadron still happens to be within 12" of the Rune Priest then that'd work. V I often run my Rune Priest on a bike, so its not that hard to do. Still, they dont really need it- its just the bloodclaw bikers need it less.
