Hey, a friend of mine wants to take more than 3 landraiders in an army, Is this feasible? He says that if he takes them as dedicated transports they dont count as heavy support, Just a 250pt tumor attached to the squad. Let me know what you guys think.

Its legal. Your friend is 100% correct. Transports don't take up FOC slots. It's how I was able to (back in the day) have my deathwing army running around all mounted in 6 land raiders.

Yeah, I figured as much. I doubt we will playing anything over 2000 for a while so with bare minumum of 2 troop choices for him will be very expensive Grey knights and their pricey Hq. To bad those tanks can Die to one lucky strength 8 shot, mwu ha ha! In theory I could take out all his vehicles in one round of shooting if I hit half the time and get 2d6 ap.

Actually it depends on the codex, if it in the codex states a unit can take a transport then the transport does not take upp an aditional force organisation slot (naturally unless it states that it does), I seem to recall that some codex allows for a transport that does take upp a slot but that may be in some ancient codex.

As for doing it...

Its kind of like meeting a necron player with 3 monoliths, sure they are damn good vehicles but taking more than one or two will tie upp a huge amount of points in a very small number of models.

If you know he usually does that then fit your army for it, get a large number of S10 Ap1 weapons (or as close as you can get) and then procede to blow upp the landraiders one after the other.

I usually play orks and know even orks can do quick work with landraiders using only a few meesly rokkit lobbas (S8 Ap3).
