From recent NOVA news:

 

"We are going to trial some new rules to allow you to design your very own Land Raider variants and field these behemoths on the battlefields of the 41st Millennium."

"option 1, extended transport to carry Primaris Marines" Land Raiders start selling again.

 

 

Edit:

 

This seems a little bit fun and adds a bit of customization to the SM again where as before the codex relied on "pieces in the box" But we will have to wait and see what exactly the rules are and what limitations there are

 

Edited by Lustrati

Quad-Assault Cannons on both sides, Twin-GravCannons with Grav Amp for the main hull weapons and a transport capacity of 12... call it the Land Raider Pulverizer

 

or

 

Twin-Linked Plasma Cannons on both sides, with additional Plasma Cannon on the other pair of Doors, and plasma Annihilator for the main Hull Weapon, and no transport capacity...

call it Land Raider Don't-Roll-A-One

 

or

 

Land Raider with Twin Heavy Bolters for the main hull weapon... nothing else, but can upgrade side-sponsons to your choice, can upgrade Hull weapon to your choice, starts out with 20 Transport capacity and ability to transport Primaris, then reduces accordingly depending on number of weapons including not letting Primaris in... call it Land Raider...

 

or

 

Land Raider with Thunderfire Cannons for side sponson and Cyclone Missile Launcher for the main hull weapon... no transport capacity... call it Land Raider Cyclonus...

 

and finally

 

Land Raider with Quad Autocannons for side sponson... Punisher Rotary Cannon for primary hull weapon... no transport capacity... Land Raider Punisher...

 

pick your poison ;)

As long as it means I can make something like this:

And give it rules that will be valid on the field....

 

 

GAME ON

 

 

Yo dawg, I heard you like Land Raiders so I put Land Raiders on your Land Raiders.

Me: "I need long-range firepower, AND more high-Toughness transports- but I don't have enough points for both. Should I use these points on two Land Raiders, or one Baneblade?"

 

TheOneTrueZon: "Why not create a Land Raider-Baneblade hybrid that can fulfill all your needs?"

 

Me: "That's crazy- the kind of crazy any competent Techmarine will go for. Let's draw up some blueprints."

I wonder if they'll sell bits to make your own stuff, personally I will be making a main battle tank and use the Repulsor model for the conversion.  Something like Twin-Las sponsons and a plasma cannon or something with missiles! GUNS, WE NEED TO PUT ALL THE GUNS IN THIS THING!.

You've got to be amazed at the lack of consistency in their actions. "We're removing options from units when there isn't a model for them" but then grand master on nemesis, and now potentially DIY landraider sponsons...

 

On a side note, I like Roujakis' idea of starting with a "bare" land raider with no sponson weapons and 20 infantry capacity. Full crusader squad anyone ?

To be fair, I don't think GM on Nemesis really requires bits that aren't already in the kit, just a distinguishing paint job; and the DIY landraider is stated to be an open play only thing for the time being, where open play was already sandbox mode for 40K.  

 

TheOneTrueZon, that tank doesn't have NEARLY enough dakka; honestly, if a tank doesn't look like a hedgehog with gun barrels for quills, it's under-gunned, and underwhelming.

We will certainly have to start a competition of a challange for this, it would be fun and I would so be on it.

 

month challange: Build a land raider

 

Rule 1: have to have "in-progress" pics

Rule 2: can not have anything not allowed by the rules

Rule 3: must be painted by finish

 

I would so happily spend the $$ and do this just for some fun :D

Think of the Terminus Ultra.

 

But it's ALL ASSAULT CANNONS.

 

bbbbbbbbbbbbbBBBBBBBRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTTTTTPTPPPPTPTPPTPTPTPPTPTPTPTPTT

 

No transport capacity because it's just full of ammo belts.

We could call it Pimp my Raider. Dibs on the one with the ice cream dispenser.

This is eighth edition, that thing doesn't have enough guns! :D

 

That was a great conversion, I'd love one of those myself.
