Re: Land Raider Spartan Rules
And its far, far better for Templars, Chaos and Wolves, who can take advantage of that capacity.
Edit, thinking PA, 10 man termie squads for all.

Re: Land Raider Spartan Rules
yea but for loyalists who play land raiders already, thats just another 45 points more than a normal raider. most of the time we look for something stupid thats worth 50 points to fill out our lists with, like a single speeder or attack bike. now we get the option of just using that point gap to take land raiders big brother
Re: Land Raider Spartan Rules
It is fantastic.. For a few reasons..
Only thing with 5 hull points..
Ceramite
25 models
With the new rules you get a squad of 5 chaos termies and 10 berserkers in there with a lord still.
I dont like the chaos version being the same points minus the machine spirit.. But.. Its also awesome.
It might actually be to awesome.. ? Between this and Sevrin.. Im rethinking the forgeworld is overcosted tjepry..

FW doesn't have a over-costed tjepry. They have a cost balance tjepry.

Doesn't stop Armourbane. Any S9 or S10 weapons will still suppress or pop it. 200-225 points is the most people should spend on a single model. That quad las cannon would be nice vs flyers though.

Re: Land Raider Spartan Rules
This one is news to me, as well. I had heard that if you split a 10 man squad into two 5 man teams they could still share a rhino, but I hadn't heard elsewise.

Re: Land Raider Spartan Rules
System commander is wrong. You can't share a vehicle with another unit. Only marines can do it with combat squading. Don't have my book right now though.

Re: Land Raider Spartan Rules
Ahhh.. K. That makes sense. I think my brain just made an assumption when i saw that before.
Tones it down a bit .. But still a beast.

challenge dan and his lists that normally take 2+ land raiders and ask him to play them as spartans mark; then tell us if you think the costs is too much or just right
land raiders done proper and not just charged into a strong melee unit that can hurt it are a P.I.T.A. to get rid of.
i think the laser destroyers could be interesting to play, despite the drop in range to 36"; having the bonus D6 you roll at the same time and picking the higher result out of the 2 dice on an AP 2 gun should have a better chance of killing things
Re: Land Raider Spartan Rules
Uhg, I hated facing that ONE Landraider. At least hull points makes it a bit more manageable for me.

Re: Land Raider Spartan Rules
Being that I tabled Dan's double land raider list, I don't think the extra points spent would help. Although, as a Necron player, that's not really a fair question.

Re: Land Raider Spartan Rules
Here's a question: the Spartan, is it available only to Vanilla Marines, or to all Chapters?
