Blood Angels Unit of the Week series Unit of the Week: Land Raider Crusader

[Jolemai]

 

Welcome to part four of the Blood Angels Unit of the Week series!

 
Following the release of the 10^th edition Codex Supplement, there is no better time to discuss all the units we have access to. Each week a different unit will appear, with the idea being that we discuss how best to use that model on the battlefield. Where part one will discuss the units from the units found within Codex Supplement: Blood Angels, parts two to four will discuss Codex: Space Marines, part five will be Imperial Armour, and part six will be Legends.
 
Note, this isn't to lament any nerfs, etc, from previous editions; the rules are as they are so try to unlock its potential for those who wish to use them all the same. Similarly, this thread is only for using the option being discussed; it matters not if you feel something is a better choice as such comments aren't constructive to the topic and shall be removed.
 
Without further ado, here's this week's entry:

 

 Land Raider Crusader

What are you thoughts here folks? How best would you use a Land Raider Crusader?

• To compliment a list, or to build a list around? 
• Are you taking multiple units?
• Which Detachment are you using?
• How are you using its Transport Capacity?
• What deployment options are you using?
• Stratagem synergy of note?

 

Over to you.

 

Please note that the Land Raider and Land Raider Redeemer will be discussed elsewhere.

Should you want your model on display here (or on another thread), then submit a photo here please.

 

(Once I work out how best to float it!)

As an aside, the thread setup may change over the coming weeks until I'm happy with them. This includes the photos.

Not a particularly competitive pick, but damn fun packed with 3 eradicators and a full squad of BGV with character. 
 

you could also put a lone op in it too for extra shenanigans, but I never tried it. 
 

I guess you ultimately want to load this up to its maximum transport capacity as that's really the only use it has over a regular land raider.

I find the firepower pretty lacklustre compared to the other two LR variants so they are normally my go-to choice. But it is pretty cheap for a Land Raider hull so if you can find a combo of units to fill the hold that will benefit from the Assault Ramp rule then you can get mileage out of it.

With the ability to put a SPriest with BGV, I kinda want to try running my LRC Party Bus again.

6 bgv + SPriest

3 eradicators + gravis captain

1 mephy

 

16 transport slots of dumba--ery!
