Blast from the past (LR rush)

[Brother Bahram]

Returning from 2014/15

Now new rules and Codex - a bit of a challenge.

Question:

Does LR rush still work?

[Gederas]

Not right now. Maybe in 9th edition, but as of right now, Land Raiders are currently a bit too expensive to try and spam for a LR Rush

[G8Keeper]

Good timing, they've just confirmed vehicles can shoot into units that are in combat with them at -1 to hit (not blast weapons though) AND that the -1 for moving and firing heavy weapons only appies to infantry.  This means Land Raider rush may well become a thing again, points dependent of course! Redeemer's may actually see the light of day.

Good to hear!

Also, if they are changing the rules for blast weapons when used against hordes, those flamers are going to be doing a lot of hits when advancing through mass infantry screens.
