Hello gentlemen. I was planning to purchase a FW CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT that just came out a month ago but I was thinking for Apoc games or even for normal games...
What is even worth putting in it? Imperial Guard doesn't have any assault troops apart from Rough Riders who obviously cannot ride in it.
Isn't the crassus a super heavy? In that case I think it's highly unlikely you're going to be able to play it in a normal game, superheavies tend to skew the balance quite a lot afaik.
Well I guess Ogryns would love a sturdy transport as well, but I guess the point is mostly that it can transport a 30 man unit... And it can also transport 2 cyclops thingies, whatever they are.
if i had a CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT i'd take a shed load of convicts as they get taken to their death. Or if I had allies my CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT would have an inq and retinue.
Or if really stuck my CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT would be full of ratlings
Load your CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT with as many cyclops demolition vehicles as you can get, its an awesome delivery method for them. take as amny as you can then special weapon squads with demo charges. Rock up and unelash hell on some poor bugger.
The Dakka Gang has determined that CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT's are Matt Ward inspired awesome. Did you know that, as a DCM you get a free CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT? Why with one CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT, two CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORTs, or even three CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORTs, you can rule the battlefield, and smote the enemies of the Imperium.
Honestly though, I think the best option for your CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT could be Yarrick and Ogryn: about as close to an assault unit as the Imperial Guard get. Then again there's rough riders and power blobs too. Could run your CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT alongside Demolishers for target priority problems.

It might also be good with CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT might also be good with penal legionaires, delivered as a suicide unit. Alternatively several squads of storm troopers, rolling forward in a CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT could be an interesting combination. Using CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT and Storm troopers could create the ultimate CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT plasma spam. Can you imagine the massed firepower of CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT plasma spam hitting a mech front line?

That mans CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT isn't filled with melta/plasma vets or penal legion troopers...it's filled with trinkle tarts and children.
Actually, my vote for the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT has changed to also a large blob of plasma-wielding Guardsmen. However, I'd still suggest running the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT alongside Leman Russ Demolishers and maybe a Super-heavy to provide target priority issues and quite possibly allow your CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT to arrive intact and with the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSUALT TRANSPORT's cargo ready to melt things.
I wouldn't get a CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT because I don't play Imperial Guard, and so simply have no use for it. That being said, as I posted on the thread where the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT was first announced by FW, the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT is an absolutely knockout model. I really like it, and I hope you take lots of WIP pics and put them on the gallery here as you build it.
Not enough pics of the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT in the gallery.
I might get a CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT and paint it bright gold and orange... just so people know it's a CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT and not a DIFFERENT ARMOURED TRANSPORT.

I wouldn't worry Purple, no-one could not recognise the majesty of the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT.
There is nothing with the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT after all.
Exellent...
Gold and Orange is still my go to colour for large tanks such as the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT however...
Anyone had thoughts about putting Ogryns in it?

There was talk of loading the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT with rough riders, seeing how the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT is a super heavy it could easily handle the load of horseman. However using the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT to transport just simple rough riders does not do the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT justice. Clearly a super heavy of the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT magnitude demands a much heftier and magnificent unit. Thats why I would recommend using your CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT to transport...

But it can't that's what the SUPER CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT is for.
Yo DOG I heard you like transports so I put a 1990 Pontiac Trans Sport inside a chimera in your CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT, inside your SUPER CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT. So now you can transport your transporters CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT trans sports transport!
On a more serious note, I think that the best thing to put in a crassus is a normal guard blob. 20 men and a commissar with a pcs can fit in nicely. The thing about rough riders and ogryns is that they can just as easily take chimeras or just run behind the crassus. This vehicle, I forget what it is called, is one of the only one that can transport combined infantry squad. The alternative shadowsword variants are more expensive in points and have a huge target on them.
I'm going to CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT your CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT so HARD that it'll CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT all over the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT with CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT

You can always convert a battlewagon from CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORTS so you can transport while you waagh and waagh while you transport.
How much does it cost to up upgrade your CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORTS to MULTI CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORTS on your CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT!
And is there an option for COMBI CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORTS! If I went the COMBI CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT route I'd go with CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT/CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT, but that might be a STORM CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT so I'm not sure if that would be legal. I guess as long as you keep it WYSIWYG noe one could complain about your CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT sporting TWIN LINKED MULTI CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORTS and COMBI CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORTS/CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORTS AKA STORM CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORTs on your CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT.
Yo Dawg, I heard you like CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT, so we put CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT inside your CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT, so can transport your assault while you transport your assault.
In all seriousness though, it isn't really an assault vehicle, it's basically an armoured behemoth supposed to carry loads of troops to the battle, drop them off, let them walk a little way, and pop back for the next load.
If the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT had some fire points, I'd put some troop squads in it with heavy weapons and camp on an objective. But it doesn't.
Loading it with assault troops is a fair idea, but it isn't an assault vehicle. It has some survivability with 2 structure points, so you could keep turndling your CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT forward and then jumping out with guys I guess.
I dunno. I think LunaHound had the best idea in converting the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT into a super battle wagon for an ork army.
Put your MEHTAL BAWKSEZ!! into your CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT and DRIVE ME CLOSER, I WANT TO HIT THEM WITH MY CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT!
The CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT is exactly what I need to haul around my space corridors and industrial towers. Once I find a place to get them, that is.
Also, does anyone know how the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT fares against orbitall bonbaonbdarldements?
Has Anyone mentioned putting Straken and a powerblob in the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT? Sorry for repeating it if someone has it's just all the CAPS was making me giggle.
@Manchu: Is that guy holding a helmet in your avatar a dirver for a CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT?
Also, could you load that CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT with the optional weapons and then put the IG Tank commander from the codex as an upgrade for it in an Apoc game? That's a decent amount of firepower.
Whilst riding in your CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT please keep all bodily parts (but not functions) inside of the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT at all times.
The CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT; you'll grow hare's on your chest.
I'd actually never looked at the rules for the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT before, and it's actually a pretty cool, basically a beefed up Land Raider for the IG. Give it 4 Lascannons, pop in a PowerBlob, and you've basically got the IG equivalent of a Land Raider terminator rush unit for roughly the same cost.
Hrm...
I hereby deem the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT to be awesome.

kronk wrote:Perhaps not. But the people inside the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT need an assault ramp if they want to assault after it's moved.

And thus, the Brotherhood had it's motto. I will inscribe it on the Brotherhood shield, and also on the armour of my CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT.
As a result the Caestus Assault Ram
has a transport capacity of ten models which must be either be
in power armour, artificer armour or terminator armour (models
in terminator armour only counting as one model rather than
two for transport as normally would be the case).
So I'm wondering, can CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORTS transport parts to industrial towers or space corridors? Though first off I should probably find a company that produces industrial towers and space corridors, so I can potentially transport them in my CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT.

You've got it wrong, the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT isn't a transport for assault troops, its a CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT. It drives up to the enemy, and smacks them. Hard. The CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT does the assaulting.
The problem is, you can't assault out of the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT so it doesn't help putting a big squad of Ogryns or a power blob, or a big Squad of Rough Riders in the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT. And since the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT has no fire points, you can't use it as an oversized mobile fire base for a crap ton of heavy weapons teams.
To be honest, in terms of rules, I'd rather take a Stormlord. At least the Stormlord can have a crap ton of infantry shooting out the back.
The best use for a CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT I can see is putting a cheap squad of infantry in it, then parking it on an objective. The main reason for using a CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT is probably because since it's a CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT it is freaking awesome.

I'd say this is a reasonable idea for the god of war that is the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT, if you upgrade the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT's guns and whack a troop choice in there then this is a viable tactic for the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT I'd imagine.
Otherwise, I - like many others - would recommend whacking a large squad/blob with lots of plasmaguns/meltas in the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT.
No matter the quality of the rules for the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT, I'd say the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT is worth taking simply because the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT is A.W.E.S.O.M.E. In fact I heard the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT is the primary method of transportation in heaven.

One use I can see is loading your CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT with three Veteran squads with meltas, driving up next to a Titan or something, then dropping them all off.
9 melta shots should be able to take down most things, and even put the hurt on the big boys.

and to keep on thread, i agree on how you should use the massiveCRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT, you should load it FULL of a penal colony and call them the sodomizers beacuse they will assault you in the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT with their CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORTS till your bleeding CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT out of your CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT.
Can you put separate squads in? For example, three vet squads upgraded with carapace, 2xflamers, heavy flamer, shotguns, and a pfist/shotgun wielding vet?
You can have multiple units inside superheavies per the superheavy rules. So, the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT would allow you to put multiple vet squads in it, yes.
Melissia wrote:Can you put separate squads in? For example, three vet squads upgraded with carapace, 2xflamers, heavy flamer, shotguns, and a pfist/shotgun wielding vet?
Because you know, THAT would be so worth it.
I presume so....
That does sound like a scary idea come to think of it...
I don't think any single non-vehicle unit could survive those three vet squads' flamer/shotguns then charge. I mean three heavy flamers, six flamers, 42 shotgun shots, and then 9 pfist attacks hidden within plenty of bodies...
Hell they could even assault multiple separate units, making it a true assault transport.
Of course, if Celestians had BP+CCW I'd choose three of those squads instead.
1. Load your CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT up with long range guns and park on an objective with 2 troops choices inside (in case it does get popped, you still have some survivors).
2. Load up on armor popping vets with meltaguns and drive towards the other guys super heavies.
3. Load up on vets with flamers and go squat some bugs, orks, other blob squads that are camping on an objective.
I was thinking:
Quad flamers with 30 Penal Legionaires inside.
My other idea was:
Quad Lascannon with 30 Veterans with full plasma load out and possibly carapace armour.
EmilCrane wrote:Or 3 5 man squads of TH/SS temrmies?
I'd rather put those in three Land Raiders than one CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT. At least they can assault out of a land raider, and you give them 3 AV 14 vehicles to shoot at.
The CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT seems to favour an agressive shooty style... Guard vets, SW and possibly Sternguard seem to benefit from it the most.
What about purifiers then? Pop out, psycannon something to death then he either has to charge you and eat their flame ability or try to out shoot them at close range.
Purifiers would be nasty... Stick some lascannon on the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT and let that take care of armour units, Purifiers jump out and deal with infantry.
I believe Yarrick deserves his own CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT, as what would be cooler than Yarrick surfing a CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT into a mob of orks?
But seriously, I agree that it (the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT of course) does seem to favor an aggressive shooty squads over anything else.
You could always load it up with Ratlings... just for the lulz...
BIG CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORTItty bitty guys.... lots of leg room
or
you could fill it with all the letters that make up CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT from every time some one has said CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT in this CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT post.
Purplefood.... PLEASE TELL ME YOU OWN ONE OF THESE CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORTS?
If not, it is my firm belief that we, the dakka community, should pitch down 1$ for every differnt poster on this thread in order to get you one so you can paint it gold and orange.
I am ordering it the monday coming.
Bright orange gold will ber her colours.
I'll have a P&M of the experience and hopefully people will not only help but also have a part in deciding what weapons and other options to give her.
If I had a CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT, I'd use it to transport my miniatures to GenCon or other tournaments so that I'd be 100% certain they weren't lost in transit.
Help me CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT, you're my only hope!

TERRORISM!!!! Anyone else have any ideas like this? I would totally buy 2 or even 3 of these CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT purely for the idea of blowing myself up. It would be HILARIOUS.
"whats in there?" ...
"you'll see"......
"OHH GOD WTF!!!!..... MY 500 pt DEATH COMPANY!!!!!!!!!!"....

30 to 45 large blast template...
It would be Anarchy...
Demo charges always seem to be unexpected, right up until that guardsmen unit runs right up to your terminators, then the horrible realization dawns on you.

They will be CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT-ing and then chucking a horrendous amount of demo charges.
I know, I was speaking generally
if a chimera with one demo charge strikes fear into marine players hearts, imagine what a AV14 2 SP vehicle would do
definitely an awesome idea if I do say so myself

NOT anarchy... Terrorism.
What is the exact army listing needed to do such a thing? I will buy the mighty CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT and will make the most awersome models for this, but i need to know exatly how i would do so. PLEASE MGIHTY PURPLE FOODSTUFFS! LEAD THE WAY IN YOUR CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT TACTICS! Tell me the listing and it shall be done! (i will even make a liscence plate saying purplefood)
You would need... 3 CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORTs 60 standard Guardsmen 3 command squads 45 more standard Guardsmen 45 Guardsmen with demo charges And, Codex:IG to get the points value.
I would suggest putting Heavy Flamers on the guns of the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT for added template fun.
You would end up with... 165 Guardsmen and 3 CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORTs

best 30 point upgrade in the codex. I have started to use it and have never been unhappy about the results. true, havent always used the demo charge, but those melta bombs are great. its funny to see the space wolf/blood angel/CSM player almost poop themselves when they see 10 guardsman assault their landraider.
"what are you doing?"
"assaulting your landraider."
"with what, krak grenades, you know you'll only glance at best."
"no, with melta bombs, upgrade to demolitions, one demo charge and all have meltabombs."
"whats that mean?"
"your landraider is dead, and, i'm sure my squad is too, but, thats only 100 points to your 250+."
Wow I didnt expect there to be so many guys... Anyway to chop it down and get more bang for your buck if ya know what i mean?
What about these Cyclops demo things... how far can they disembark and then blow up having just deployed from the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT?
Could you also do this... field the platoon with most of them in chimeras, load up the SWS with the demos into the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT so that they're the only thing in there, and do it that way?
So then you'd have a CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT full of nothing but demos and the rest of the army is elsewhere? or do they have to stick together?
Drive the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT directly into the heart of the enemy. Have all your men throw the demolitions charges directly on top of the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT. Everything around it dies. Your CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT will be perfectly fine.
If you had the rest of the platoon stay back and spam heavy weapons fire to support the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT it could prove an effective tactic.
I called Forgeworld today to find out why my order for a VALDOR TANK HUNTER had been delayed. According to the chap on the phone they have had unprecedented demand for CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORTs that has resulted in a large backlog of orders.
I am so tempted to buy a CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT now. It'd be a great center piece for my Imperial Guard Army. It can totally be Creed's pimpmobile.
So i have a Q about the demo charge idea.... they're BS 3 sadly, that means a lot of demo charges will miss right? (when you throw em at your enemy, poor bastards)
But, if you want to stick them on your own transport, dont you still have to "throw" them? Wont that miss a bit too???
It just seems weird you have to "aim" with these things, you miss, and nothing happens... Just seems like you'd chuck it and press the button on the detonator and watch the body parts fly.... how does this work? Im confused on how this could be used....

They are more like sticks of dynamite or timed grenades.
I think it would be better if they missed...
The havoc it would cause would be enormous...
NO! This is a suicide mission, you want it to kill EVERYTHING. I asked if you still have to throw it using BS 3? and if it missed does anything happen?
xSoulgrinderx wrote:NO! This is a suicide mission, you want it to kill EVERYTHING. I asked if you still have to throw it using BS 3? and if it missed does anything happen?
If you have BS3 you still have to throw it but when it scatters you only subtract 3 from the dice. That's about it actually...
So since its large blast it'll still scatter? Hmm.. duh, should've figured that one use em for the grinders and just never made the connection! lolz. BIG BOOM COMING.
Most likely the SWOs will literally be a suicide squad...
Other options include plasma vets (melta vets would put the beloved CRASSUS ARMOURED TRANSPORT in danger)
and Penal Legionaires (Cheap and expendable distractions)
Either 3 squads of GH with 2 plasma guns each or i will go SWOs with demo charges... Of course i could always use 30 PaWG with combi plasmas... now that would hurt like a b***ch

I have no idea what the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORTS are up to, I'd just head about the recent mass whale CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT landings around there from the fish people I live with and the news.
Or instead of spending our money on CAAT, we can use it to hire a sculptor to create a model for VANCE MOTHER-fething STUBBS! since he is the epitome of utter badassery.
Posting into CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT thread without mentioning CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT is like having a CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT without putting in another CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT.
I have no idea how to reply to the awesomeness of this thread so....

CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT
Just had delivery of my CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT. It is a sweet kit. Only problem I'd say is you only get Heavy Bolter options for the sponsons. Would have been nice to have the autocannon and heavy flamer options as well. Inside is nicely detailed - loving the striplights across the roof!
Attempts to abbreviate the name of the CRASSUS ARMOURED POLICE ASSAULT TRANSPORT have been met with catastrophic results until you came along, xSoulgrinderx.
Did you have to use some sort of particle accelerator?
The original concept for the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT was a powerfist for the Emperor...but he wasn't awesome enough to use it so they just made it carry ENTIRE ARMIES instead.
Just had delivery of my CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT.
Kind sir, if you please, what vehicle did they use to deliver it? Surely the standard UPS truck would not suffice! I'm going to guess it wasn't a bitchin camaro, so please tell me what vehicle delivered it.

WIN WIN WIN!
AN ARMORED CRASSUS ARMORED ASSAULT TRANSPORT TRANSPORT would also have been acceptable.
Buy the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT but paint it taliban colors, put demo charges in it, place it on the board and refuse to tell them whats inside.
"Whats in there?"
"Can't tell you, it's a religious thing..."
"Wtf come on tell me..."
"No seriously. I can't"
"Fine whatever...."
(Turn 3)
"You asked whats inside?"
"Yeah like an hour ago...."
"I DECLARE A JIHAD!!!! ALALALALALLALALALLALALALALA!!!!!!!!! BANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
To be honest, you can't really take the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT anywhere safely. It will constantly be the target of obbital bombaerdlements. Even ASSAULT TRANSPORTs like the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT need to hide behind cover, like perhaps space corridors and industrial towers. But only a tactical genius would think of something like that.
How much transports would a CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT transport if a CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT could transport transports? It would transport, it would, as much as it could and transport as much transports as a CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT would if a CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT could transport transports.
