Oh man, now I can't unsee that mentally challenged frog face in CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT.

**Da Ork Killa**

Does this help?

**Hoyt**

Where can I find the rules for the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT and the PRAETOR ARMOURED ASSAULT LAUNCHER?

**Skinnereal**

1. Go to Forgeworld's website.
2. Search for the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT.
3. Look a the books listed at the bottom.
4. Look on the contents page to see if it is listed.

It is on page 128 of this:
http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/Imperial_Armour_Books/IMPERIAL_ARMOUR_VOLUME_ONE_SECOND_EDITION_IMPERIAL_GUARD.html

Not happy

The only model I liked the look of was the Sentinel Powerlifter. It's on the button for AM support vehicles, but no option to buy it

I didn't even notice they had a pic of the contents. Thanks.

Is the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT worth it's points?

**mathaius90**

Yes, because it is a CRASSUS ARMORED ASSAULT TRANSPORT.
The CRASSUS ARMORED ASSAULT TRANSPORT is always worth its points.
If you don't have a CRASSUS ARMORED ASSAULT TRANSPORT you can replace it with another CRASSUS ARMORED ASSAULT TRANSPORT.
When the recruits are inducted in the Imperial Guard they are given their own personal CRASSUS ARMORED ASSAULT TRANSPORT.

**Reaver83**

I think this was the original CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT

This thread.

I wonder if Marbo invented the CRASSUS ARMOURED TRANSPORT?
It's probably one of his childhood toys (a punching bag when Khorne had enough?)

**Happyjew**

The reason Marbo was removed from the codex, is because GW is trying to figure out how to properly cost him, now that he comes with a CRASSUS ARMOURED TRANSPORT as a dedicated transport.

They also replaced his demolition charge with him having the ability to once a game throw a CRASSUS ARMOURED TRANSPORT at the enemy.

I also heard they created a model for him (finally). It appears to be a CRASSUS ARMOURED TRANSPORT.

Of course, the best use for a CRASSUS ARMOURED TRANSPORT is to load it up with CRASSUS ARMOURED TRANSPORTS. However, to do that would take some sort of...tac..ti...cal...gen...CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDD!!!!

In fact, GW's secret marketing plan is to replace ALL the dedicated transports of loyalist armies to with CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORTS.
No chaos version since CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORTS is too epic to be available to filthy heretics or xenon.
They will even roll out a Codex:CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORTS

**Swastakowey**

A quick question because im seriously making a decision here.

Is it better to have 7 chimeras transport 55 Guardsmen, or 2 CRASSUS ARMOURED TRANSPORTS?

Because I think both could look cool... Not sure which to buy.

CRASSUS for three reasons.

1. Chimeras are common... and who wants to be common?
2. You can take two CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORTS for one LOW slot.
3. Look at it!

You should wait for Codex:CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORTS before you make your final decision. Mathaius90 says it's coming, and everything on the Interwebs is true.

Just like that plastic Thunderhawk kit I'm getting for Christmas!

What you need to understand about the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT, is this:

When the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT is shot with a meltagun, you roll to wound against the model that shot the meltagun.

If, and I do mean IF, a CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT is ever shot at and hit by an enemy vehicle, you roll on the vehicle penetration chart for the vehicle that just shot at the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT.

You cannot engage a CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT in melee. Any model that tries to charge a CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT must first take a leadership test. Fearless models automatically pass and only suffer a wound. Models that fail the leadership test are removed from the game. If they pass? Each model in the charging unit takes an automatic wound. If they save that wound, remove them from play anyways. No one assaults a CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT.

CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT never rolls for difficult terrain. Terrain is simply removed from the table when the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT moves within 1" of it.

The rulebook says the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT has a transport capacity of 35. This is wrong. Any model my embark onto a CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT; they must first declare the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT their Lord and Savior, and prior to disembarking, must declare their undying love for the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT.

These are the basics of the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT. You should be able to figure out the rest.

Good stuff. Here's some more:

1. The CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT is BS3. It also re-rolls all failed shooting rolls of 1, 2 or 3. The CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT is exempt from the BRB rule that limits you to a single re-roll.

2. The CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT has the Deep Strike special rule, but only scatters 1D6 inches instead of 2D6. If the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT scatters in a direction the controlling player does not like, the player may turn the Scatter Dice arrow in any direction he pleases. If the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT Deep Strikes and lands on top of an enemy unit, that unit immediately takes a D-Weapon hit with a +5 on the D-Weapon damage chart. If the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT lands on top of a friendly unit, that unit immediately embarks on the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT regardless of how many models the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT is already transporting. If a unit embarks in this manner and it would otherwise increase the number of embarked models beyond the maximum capacity of 35, the excess models are removed from the game with no saves of any kind, and the player controlling the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT scores D3 victory points for each model removed in this manner.

**SirDonlad**

Don't forget the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT jump pack upgrade which allows it to move up to X inches in any direction where X is how awesome a CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT is, and may fire and assault after doing so.
The CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT can also vector strike all units it passes over X times at strength D AP1 mastercrafted ordinance1 with the preferred enemy, sunder, concussive, tank hunter, wrecker, blind, lance, haywire, gauss and monster hunter special rules.

When using a CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT, you may during your opponent's shooting phase, allow your opponent to beleive he has destroyed your CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT. you must immediately deploy 2 CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORTS with identical units inside. These come on from reserves from your opponent's board edge within 6" of each other and both gain the 'objective secured', assault vehicle and 'it will not die (2+)' special rules.

The CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT is a unit. That means that if a CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT lands on a CRASSUS ARMORUED ASSAULT TRANSPORT the latter would embark on the former. You can then drop another CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT to stack them matryoshka-doll style.

The Webway is just a network of nested CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORTS.

The real reason why the Tyranids are entering the galaxy: they're on a pilgrimage to see CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORTS.

Heresy, you misbegotten fools. The CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT has deceived you all. Come and rejoice at your salvation - the GORGON ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT!

Joining a battle topless is slanneshi behavior and is therfore heresy.

BLAM! HEADSHOT.

**zombiekila707**

**VictorVonTzeentch**

CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT will be our salvation.

But does anyone know where I can get some Space Corridors and Industrial Towers?
