There John ya happy?!

Feedback?? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

...Land...Raiders...

I would hate to fight this. Especially in my gaming area, where vehicles aren't heavily used...

CK

All you need is 50 Nob Bikers and you'll own my donut wheeling in no time. lol

I am speechless....

that is a lot of landraiders in there. The list itself is not that strong, but the overabundance of lndraiders makes it a though cookie to crack...

Still if an (dark) eldar list takes you on and has some brightlances they should be able to destroy you to a man. (guardians with lances and a few vipers with lances and guiding from the seeers (if he gets it off)

it will be a tough cookie for most armies though, orks will die in droves to the flamers and the ability of the lr's to soak up fist attacks (S9 on the charge still requires 5's to glance...). Marines will be able to knock out 1 a round with the few lascannons they will be holding (after new codex at least). tau will need the rails, but get no guarantee on taking down 1 a turn if they do not take a lot of railsuits (making them vulnerable to other lists...)

all in all I am speechless... (although I can still type quite a story...)

Urf. Not what I would call a "fun to play against" style army. Should do well, but is not much different from the Tri-monolith denial army.

Wait, Ard Boyz isn't for to be and the other guy whose trying to me?

lol

I think x7 is better than x3.

LOL - oh that's good fun. I'd never thought to put the words "Land Raider" and "spam" in the same sentence, but there you go. Man, talk about target saturation.

Why the LRCs? Anti-infantry fire?

Well...the LRC are there so after I get all these LR, I can run different LR armies without having to buy new.

I plan on upgrading one LR to a redeemer, possibly two. It's quite the really.

Since it's the only Imperial tank I can stomach, I'll be running LR heavy armies.

The LRC will probably end up in my 2009 BT army.

7 land raiders is tough! I like the list alot but if you face a Lascannon heavy list... you're going to get owned!

the other thing you will need to worry about is the abundance of orks out there. So many PKs in a list can wreck your day

Those lists don't as a rule exist anymore. Lascannons don't own land raiders anyway.

frgsinwntr wrote:the other thing you will need to worry about is the abundance of orks out there. So many PKs in a list can wreck your day

So many flamers unseen makes a grown man cry.

How do you beat Zilla nids? Carnifexes make great can openers. The lascannons, assault cannons and multi-meltas will take down a couple, but the others won't have a tough time penetrating AV 14 with their Str9+2d6.

Drop podding meltas will also ruin your day.

It has a great "shock" factor, and land raiders are harder to kill in 5th by shooting, but I doubt this army could go the distance.

I wouldn't take an Ork list to the Ardboy first of all. Orks work best at 1750, 2000 is pushing their efficiency. 2500 is too much. Besides 7LR's would crush an Ork list.

I am thinking of using Chaos at the Ardboy. Big squads of plaguemarines and termies may be the ticket. Plaus 9 oblits of course.

I agree. Orks have issues past 2000.

Lash Sorc, Plague Marines to hold objectives (double meltas? pfist?) and LC/combi-plas+flamer termies DS off them? oblits in the back field?

Carnifexes do indeed make great can openers.

I'm hoping I can zap at least half the fexes dead before they get to my side.

The GK termie can take a wounded one out.

Then, run away and hope they can't hit. lol I think since I can wipe the rest of the list (including Tyrants, Zoanthropes, and Warriors) in short order the only real problem will be those Carnifexes I have to move away from, but that's why you shoot the ones that fleeted the furthest (in a CC fex list) dead first. In a shooty fex list, I'm really not worried. They'll stun a few, I'll kill what I can, they'll stay away...

I guess the cunning part of my plan is, the troops go in the vehicles the carnifexes aren't afraid of. So in objective missions, they have a serious problem.

Daydream wrote:Drop podding meltas will also ruin your day.

I doubt it. I don't have 2 mystic units to let the LRC open up on drop guard units for nothing, ya know. So far I've eaten a single melta blast. The rest I've cooked. Besides, if they scatter or intentionally drop out of my range, I can kill them at range or fry them with flamers.

The land raiders become alot stronger if the new machine spirit rules transfer over to the Demonhunters list.

whitedragon wrote:The land raiders become alot stronger if the new machine spirit rules transfer over to the Demonhunters list.

The 3 LRC have the new rule.

The two WH LR have the old rule.

The two DH LR have nothing yet (thus the extra armor on them).

What if you get matched up against Dark Lance spamming Dark Eldar?

I eat it in the shorts.

Hopefully I get to go first, or keep everything in reserve and move on from my table edge.

WWP? Raider spam?

Dead. Dead. Dead.

Unless I get lucky.

This is very similar to the BT 'Ard boys list I was comtemplating on bringing.

Except BT can do it for less and take LRC with blessed hulls.

less flamers, but the blessed hull allows for survival vs the pointy ears.

Against hordes, you are going to have to rely on the storm bolters, heavy bolters and hurricane bolters to carry the day.

There is less survivability in this army though if you get shot out of a tank, but the tanks are tougher.

@SushiCaddy, you should have been at the store Monday afternoon. I faced Russ's BT army with my standard Eldar MC list. He had 3 LRC's! Yikes!

Welps if you haven't bought the Land Raiders yet I'd suggest magnetizing the sponsons. That way when the new plastic kit comes out you can just buy the crusader/redeemer parts.

How did you do?

I got lucky and won the game.

That game against Russ' BT LRC list was as challenging as my game against your 30 HW infiltrating marine list with my Eldar.

Excellent suggestion.

Sushicaddy, since Land Raider Crusaders may be taken as Dedicated Transports in the BT Codex, you can field a lot more than 3 in a Templar list.

CK

Retinues count for KPs, right? How many KPs in that list then? 19? That seems high for MEQ, but when you consider lots of them are LRs then maybe it isn't so bad.

This list looks fun. Funny thing about the new scoring is you can have a LR on an objective with troops inside of it so, nothing can get closer than 3" if LR is still on objective (and obviously alive) so, you can almost be sure to get the objective no matter what if that makese sense? (my logic is LR is larger than a 3" diamiter so nothing can contest it while LR is there).

That's the evil, cunning plan I have.
