Inquisitor Allies: Which Land Raider Fits Sisters Best?

[Rommel44]

Hey mates. Currently in the process of building up my list and with the Inquisition being a solid ally choice for the SOB, it got me thinking on which Land Raider Varient would be the best fit. Granted, a common and effective unit is placing an Inquisitor with a squad of DCA and Crusaders, but from there that's when it gets tricky. This is how I see it:

 

* Land Raider: Standard and coming with 2x Twin-Linked Lascannons and a Hvy. Bolter, a pretty solid choice but not sure if needed as SOB already have access to a ton of Anti-Tank weaponry.

 

* Land Raider Crusader: Most tempting as combining the Assault Cannon and Hurricane Bolters with Psybolt Ammo is a good combo, can get a Multi-Melta, and has the most troop capacity.

 

* Land Raider Redeemer: Another good option and one that truly fits the Sisters of Battle with there love of burning things, it too can take a Multi-Melta but it has very short range and the weapon placement has a lot to be desired.

 

* Land Raider Prometheus: Interesting choice as it comes with 4x Twin-Linked Hvy. Bolters which can be combined with Psybolt Ammo, and has a Coms Relay that makes enemies cover save -1 which is good. But also it is the only Land Raider that only needs and Inquisitor to field and not the Warband, which means Sisters Repentia could go here.

 

Just curious on what you guys think which LR fits the SOB best. In my cases, I am planning on running a Mechanized List with Immolators w/Multi-Meltas and Repressors/Rhinos and with that list, I have a lot of short ranged Anti-Tank with all the squads having Melta Guns so the regular Land Raider would be beneficial, bit I could see a big use for the LRC and the Prometheus. Thoughts?

id say crusader if your the agressive attacking type ,inquisitor+relic to possibly scout the raider 

dominions immos can escort up table & deal with armour

the conclave or repentia can disembark charge & chop things up

 

standard raider is ok but im not a fan of slow advances for sisters as you will most likely take pot shots with the lascannons

 

reedemer sounds fun but like you said the weapon arc is not so fun 

 

no experience with the prometheus

The Prometheus is nice and fits entirely within the Trinity.

 

The Crusader is probably the best over-all - the Phobos suffers from multiple-targets-disorder - do I transport or shoot. If I shoot, do I go for tanks or infantry?

 

The Redeemer's faults have been laid out already.

 

Note that just because you need a Warband to take a Crusader, that does not mean that the Repentia can't ride in it - they just have to deploy on the table then embark on turn one.

Personally, my favourite is the redeemer. All of it's faults are consistant with Sisters in general, meaning it only helps your army more to field it. Secondly it grants you a high strength, good AP ignores cover weapon, which is something we do not have usually.

It grants good threat, because it WILL kill enemy units and so it's something they must target, protecting your other vehicles.

I have always found Crusaders to be very underwhelming, in that they can usually be ignored entirely. The basic landraider is decent but generally fits better with other armies in my eyes. 2 lascannons are not that useful in army with so much melta.

Crusader for sure. Codex: Inquisition can still take Psybolts on their vehicles (suck it Grey Knights!), so a Crusader with a S7 Assault Cannon and S5 Hurricane Bolters is pretty gravy.
