So i'm looking at the new marine codex and think it would be great to take some sternguard and vanguard veterans mounted in land raiders.......but then realize that landraiders are not a transport option for them. I know I can take landraiders seperately but wouldn't it make sense for these units to have access to them as dedicated transports.....I mean...they are 1st company veterans right?

Half or more of the time Vanguard are sporting Jump Packs and can't set foot into a land raider. Sternguard are much better used dropping out of the sky in a pod and shooting the crap out of whatever they land on, then establishing a firebase. If they need a Land Raider, they can hop into a heavy choice.

There you have it!

Besides, other units in your force would probably benefit more from riding in a LR...
