What? A land raider?

[kenshin620]

It says that for WH a land raider can be a trasport but for who?

[Inquisitor Rosenadel]

It can be a transport for whomever has it as an option in their entry. Might seem a bit daft, but only Inquisitor Lords can take a Land Raider as a transport. Which really isn't worth it anyway.

but it's a cool tank ! yea i think if any transport, then the chimera. decent firepower and not more than 200 points...lol.

and rhinos aren't worth crap...especially for your pricey inquisitor lords :P

um well what about regular troops and dominion squads? I dont want to shell out another $10 on a transport

[lord marcus]

there fine, he's just thinking wacko, think of them as expendable moving boxes with 2 shots a turn! i have a tactic, move the rhino up to its desired location, turn it to face east or west and unload from the hatch facing your side and use it as cover!

[hairyyahoo]

works rather well if you have two units with transports and you park them face to face.

haha thinking wacko indeed. i meant that for the choices for an inquisitor, personally i think the chimera and LR would be better choices. obviously for troops you probably would be okay if the rhino was popped, because you'd likely have 10 power armored bodies, whereas your inquisitorial squad would probably not have as reliable armor all around.

I dunno im always against the Land Raider, it eats up too many points towards a simple transport. I would much rather have a Storm Trooper Squad in a chimera or rhino for relatively the same points for one Land raider..

And don't forget that a Land Raider taken as a dedicated transport doesn't count as a scoring unit!

actually it does! (codex space marines) because of it's insane pts cost, a land raider taken as a dedicated transport will still count as a scoring unit. it still follows all the other rules for dedicated transports however, so it can only transport the squad it's been bought for...

in a witch hunter army, either an inquisitor lord or inquisitor w/retinue may take a land raider as a dedicated transport.

cheers!

for dominion squads there's nothin better then the good 'ol immolator!

i use it myself. you wont have a full strength squad, but for the close ranged weapons of dominions having the transport really helps.
i use it for the melta-team. sister superior, 1 normal sister, 4 sisters with melta guns. immolator w/extra armour, smoke, and twin linked multi-melta's. get em within 6'' and any gun line is an instant slag heap.

you can also use the same setup but with 4 flamers in the squad and a twin linked heavy flamer on the immolator.

if you have retributors, they are also good to use with an immolator transport. that keeps you from using a heavy weapons slot and gives your heavy weapons troopers a taxi. 5 heavy bolters, 1 twin linked, is enough to ruin anyones day.

I am toying with idea of grouping 2 rhinos with a chimera. Place the chimera in the center and use the rhinos as "extra armor" on the sides.

How does the immolator on Retributors keep them from being heavy support?

Also, if you take retributors, an immolator really is a no-no. You've only got 1 meat bag in the mix (2 if you sacrifice the superior first like a dolt) before your heavy weapons are being ate into. If you really must give them a transport, do yourself a favor and make it a rhino. Otherwise, the retributor squad will go up in flames quickly.

Besides, you paid precious points on those heavy weapons.. why leave them so open to enemy fire?
