Landspeeders in 30k

Hi all,

 

I was wondering if any one here uses Landspeeders in 30k? I'm running a Word Bearers army with the Dark Brotherhood rite of war and I can only take 1 Heavy Support meaning big armour and low ap guns with range are limited. I've been toying with the idea of a squadron of Landspeeders to zoom around and Melta stuff that's to big for my mainly infantry based force to deal with. Are they decent in 30k or would I be better off with Jetbikes and the like? My elites slots are taken up with Mara Ghal, Gal Vorbak and a 10 man Vet unit so that's pretty full too. Any help you could give this poor heretic would be greatly appreciated.

 

Cheers,

Rob

I have 5 with grav guns and heavy bolters. Good for vehicles and pesky bees alike, granted they're quite easy to remove but the 270 odd points they're worth is made up for in the 300pt's worth of tank or robot that disappear from the table before they go.

They both go down to the same type of fire, attract similar amounts of attention and have similar effective ranges depending on how you arm them. The bonus the speeder has over jet bikes is 2 big guns and the ability to take a hunter killer.

Because of then size of the speeders however the squadron will be an easy target/difficult to hide and will attract a little attention because no one wants to be harassed

Hmm, some good points there, thanks for the input. If I team up the speeders with some bikes they could attract the enemies fire for long enough to get the infantry squads in a nice postion. I have a Sicaran coming as well to cause worry in the lines and possibly cause some targeting priority issues.
