Chaos Rhino

This thread is only for tactics for Chaos Rhino, not for pictures, there are other places for that.

How to best use the Chaos Rhino?

• Legion?
• Which stratagems are worth throwing out?
• Any solid unit combos?

[MegaVolt87]

40k Rhino is in much the same place, transpo for 2 x5man CSM units. If the points don't go down in 10th Ed and/or units can't share transpo, it's only going to be further ignored. Footslog is still very much viable anyway. Vehicles in general are in a far better place in 2.0 HH despite their nerfs there, especially the rhino.

I'd really like them to make the rhino capacity 12, to allow a squad and a character.

 

I do like taking one to put legionaries in. Always fun to place it somewhere really inconvenient for my opponent if it survives long enough.

[MarshalMittermeier]

rhinos are excellent-in a vacuum.

 

problem is, what kind of unit would benefit?

a legionairies unit would have most likely mark of nurgle (its job is obsec), so it is equally resistant vs s4 fire.

an important unit (chosen, who IMO outperform terminators point-for-point) gets black rune, mark of slaanesh and 5+++ outside of rhino, so... yeah.

 

the only units who could benefit:

-legionaries with mark of khorne.

-cult troops like berserkers etc.

[Iron Father Ferrum]

The extra 3" when deploying out of a Rhino is advantageous for a unit that wants to get into melee.

I quite the rhino, it’s like a mobile safety bunker for our legionaries. I usually put two 5 man squads in there, a tzeentch mark squad to hold midfield and a khorne marked squad to go and get in the opponents deployment zone
