Logan and Landraiders brainstorming

[Bloodzerker]

Hello everyone im fairly new to 40k i just got my champions of fenris supplement, and now the army is even more appealing to me as we get to skip troops. Heres a little brainstorm i did, feel free to add, and suggest. I was wondering if the list was viable, (it has almost no shooting)...

 

Basically the list revolves around 2 formation

 

- Kings guard Stormforce

-Arjac shieldbrothers

 

 

this is how i would go about using these

 

logan on chariot

Land raider redeemer / Arjac /5 shield brothers

Land raider crusader / WL , AoS, Morkai's Claw/ 7 TDA (either double claws or claws and shields)

Stormfang / 6 bloodclaws , 1 fist   (can serve different purpose, late game objective capture, anti-air ect, also bc to minimize loses if it gets exploded

 

so logan between 2 LRs charging forward with a bit of more assault in front of them:

 

Rune priest on bike

with 5 WG on bike as well

 

adding one cheap crew of 3-5 TWC

 

Or instead i could drop a murderfang/blizzard shield and axe VD with some voidclaws

 

 

IM looking for hints on what could be viable and also how you would equip the vehicles.

If you are running Crusader of Redeemer, you definitely want the Multimelta up top. It is handy to blow that vehicle that got to close to you bu using PotMS.

If you are using said Raider as an assault transport for a pure melee unit like Super Shield Bros and have 10 spare points, Extra Amour is worth looking at. A single crew stunned could deplay the charge for anothet turn. Unacceptable.

As for the LR, I generally prefer the Crusader because it offers great anti-infantry firepower as well as a way to deal with tanks. You get the whole package.

On a side note, Super Shield Bros must take a Crusader for the Formation.

 

Now, Logan and the SLED OF DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM.

You want to be careful and not go into melee with a dedicated anti-tank weapon or anything above S6 for that matter. You can allocate wounds to either Logan or sled for ranged attacks, but the opponent gets to choose in melee.

You want to be aggressive. The sled has a 4++ build in, so cover is irrelevant for the most part.

On a side note, an Iron Priest on a Thunderwolf might be cool here. He can keep up and repair chariot if need be.

 

I would get an empty Stormwolf from FA or 5 naked BC that buy a SW as dedicated. That way you either have a solid gunship or a solid gunship with objectivr secured. Stormfang is only good when it comes to horde-control or if you do not have any way to get a Stormwolf into your list.

 

If you are running Land Raider(s), you need distraction units. Whether you use TWC or droo pod Dreads is up to your playstyle. I prefer TWC, but that is just me.

 

A last hint about using LR: keep a cheap unit in front of it. Something like Fenrisian Wolves or bikers. That way the LR gets a 5+ cover save because the opponent shoots through a unit (regardless how much is covered, the mere act of shooting through a unit triggers the save).

Can some pls explain what a charge range units in a LR have ? Meaning When is it better to move forward and disembark and when its better too move 12" and charge next round. Talking abou inches not spezific situations

[Frater Cornelius]

First turn I would move between 12"-18" unless there is a very juicy target nearby.

Turn two you move 6", disembark, which is another inch or so, move up 6" and then roll your charge range. On average your threat range is 14".
