Vorenus Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I'm making a list for a 1000 point tournament, and I'm debating between the Land Raider Crusader or 4 Drop Pods for basically the same cost. What do y'all recommend? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/358095-land-raider-crusader-or-4-drop-pods-at-1000-points/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Are Verlo Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Those are fundamentally different units and it´s hard to recommend anything at all with out know what the rest of your list(s) looks like?

Vorenus Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 That's a fair point. Here are the two lists I'm thinking about (I'm omitting points and upgrades since I will be taking minimal upgrades, and the point of this discussion is whether to take the LRC or the 4 DPs): List 1: HQ1 Captain in Terminator Armor (Relic Blade) HQ2 Chaplain T1 Scouts T2 Tactical Squad T3 Tactical Squad E1 Sternguard Veterans Squad E2 Company Champion E3 Apothecary E4 Company Veterans HS1 Land Raider Crusader HS2 Thunderfire Cannon (w/ Techmarine Gunner) List 2: HQ1 Captain in Terminator Armor (Relic Blade) HQ2 Chaplain T1 Scouts T2 Tactical Squad T3 Tactical Squad E1 Sternguard Veterans Squad E2 Company Champion E3 Apothecary E4 Company Veterans HS1 Thunderfire Cannon (w/ Techmarine Gunner) DD1 Drop Pod DD2 Drop Pod DD3 Drop Pod DD4 Drop Pod Thanks again for any suggestions and insights! --Vorenus Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/358095-land-raider-crusader-or-4-drop-pods-at-1000-points/#findComment-5378652 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARK0SIAN Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 4 seems like a lot of drop pods at a fairly low point game. I think a couple might be useful but I think you’d get more mileage out of the Land raider. Alternatively (if you can) I’d cut it down to two drop pods and use the spare points to add more units, particularly some anti-tank or maybe a grav devastator Squad.

Son of Sacrifice Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 A land raider should be able to stick around at 1000 points, and if it doesn't it would probably have drawn a lot of fire away from your other units. Plus, land raiders are always the coolest unit on the table. Also, 4 pods doesn't seem like it would work very well with your list tbh.

dice4thedicegod Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 The landraider seems the better option of the two. Just screen it enough not to get based! Actually, the new doctrines probably help the crusader a lot.

quasistellar Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 I don't care for either choice. I'd put some anti tank in there. Maybe a standard lascannon land raider? Idk what models you have though. If the choice is simply between crusader and drop pods I guess take a land raider?

Joukernaut Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Landraider, hands down. It packs some decent firepower, it’s durable, it can move and charge and deal some mortal wounds (although I would inly recommend doing so if running an ultramarine army).
