the basic land raider can take on multiple threats. it's twin-linked lascannons will make a mess of armoured targets while the twin-linked heavy bolters can thin out a bit of infantry.
it also can transport either 10 power armoured space marines or 5 terminators.
the crusader is purely anti-infantry aside from that multi-melta! plus, all of it's weapon systems are short to mid ranged guns. (ie: everything is 24" range or shorter!) still, infantry will cower before the crusader as once it hit's rapid fire range it really starts to shine!
it can also transport upto 15 power armoured space marines or upto 8 terminators.
both land raiders have assault ramps so you can disembark & assault, but the crusader also comes with frag assault launchers which allow a squad charging out of it to count as having frag grenades!
cheers!
