If a Librarian is in a Land Raider, when he uses gate of Infinity does the tank teleport as well?

No, the tank is not him or his unit.

'A unit he is with' is a little vague, but within the rules of 40K we sort of have to assume it means 'a unit to which he is joined'... otherwise, you're going to have to come up with some arbitrary distance as to just how far away the Librarian can be before he is no longer 'with' the unit.

In that context, since the Librarian can not join the vehicle as a unit, no, he would be unable to teleport the vehicle.

I agree with them... think about, a tp landraider is sort of unfair... ( Would be hilarious tho )

Yeah, deep striking Land Raiders would just be ridicul... oh...

"I shoot my krak missile at your Librarian squad. It hits."

"OK, I'll allocate it to the Land Raider."

"wha.."

Or even Codex GK Raiders Via the Summoning ... WTH gotta hate on Vanilla (lol)

I don't think you can teleport a land raider as it is a separate entry taken as a transport. A rhino on the other hand can only be taken as a transport and so could possibly be thought of as a upgrade for the unit.

Excepting it(the Dedicated transport of any sort) is a separate unit from the Unit purchasing it; this is clearly spelled out on page 92 of the BRB(under "Multiple unit choices"). Along with the fact that you are not forced to keep your DT in coherency with its purchasing unit, and said Purchasing unit would never be able to embark on the DT(both because only infantry may embark into transport unless otherwise specified and because the Transport would not be able to embark upon itself).

Furthermore any unit in a transport of any kind is still a separate unit from the transport as it may fire at a separate target should the transport have firepoints/is open-topped, and the unit is not removed if the vehicle is destroyed(excepting some specific circumstances that are included in the disembarkation rules), and finally shooting directed at the transport never directly damages the transported unit(it can only effect the unit after it has been fully resolved on the transport).

what if it's bought as the dedicated transport for the unit of terminators he is with? okay sorry, just being a jerk... Oh yeah, and Nemesis Falchions flowcharts still give them +2 attacks if you ask the right grammar nazi too.

"Damn, I didn't hit the Land Raider."
"Yep, and now the Land Raider attacks back with two attacks, automatically hitting with a Strength of 14 and ignoring armour."

EDIT: Misinterpreted the above post... but oh well. Try giving your dedicated CCS chimera FNP by buying the CCS a med-pack.

even though it would be hilarious to see a tank try and embark its self

Well, as long as all your unit keeps in coherency and never moves faster than the slowest model... go ahead and DS your Land Raider. And make sure it runs off the board with the rest of the squad when they fall back.
