Fix Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Hey Duncan, after talking it over with some other people, I've decided that Blood Angel Land Raiders are stupid. They are not strong enough and need to be made better. You get to deep strike them, right? But a sixth of the time they'll just vanish if you accidentally land on one of my squishy guardsmen. That's not right. I propose that any ground vehicle entering from deep strike should be allowed to do so as a tank shock maneuver, including ramming other vehicles, which would count as a full 12" move against side armor. Death or Glory would, of course, still apply. I'm talking drop pods, too, though trying to ram with one of those might end up poorly for the contents of the pod. Wanna try it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munkie Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 I like how land raiders mishapping is the part that's not right. Certainly not the......ummmm.......oh yeah, how about thunderhawks that drop them off. You know, the thunder hawks that forgot to bring any guns at all. Yeah, those ones. What BA land raiders really need is to be fast vehicles like every other damn vehicle in that book. They shouldn't be dedicated transports though. It's not like any of the other heavy supports are good enough that they'd really compete with land raiders, given that change. You just couldn't spam them.

Fix Posted March 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 What do you mean no guns? The Thunderhawks are firing friggin' Land Raiders full of Death Company at the board. You think they have shells bigger than that? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just couldn't spam them. Storm Ravens....... When I saw the title of the thread, I thought you were going to propose making them Armor 12 all around, with open topped, and one hull point. (So your Demolisher could at least glance it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munkie Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Storm Ravens....... Would you actually feel restricted by being only able to take 3 storm ravens or land raiders? Have you ever run 4 or more of those vehicles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TW_Haines Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 black templars can run land raiders as dedicated transports for crusader squads. If you didn't run as blood angles, but played as manly men.....Biatch.. then you could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonVilkee Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Blood angels only get them as dedicated transports, all versions. Duncan's reply is in response to the proposed move to heavy support. Storm ravens are heavy for him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
