wouldn't it be nice if chaos had a transport that could carry more than 10 troops i.eThe LR crusader
or maybe some new super awesome chaos vehicles.if so what would it be like

Easy fix.

Step A: Play Apocalypse.
Step B: Use the rule where Chaos can use loyalist Marine equipment.
Step C: Use your spiky LR Crusader.

In the meantime, you're likely not to get a transport that holds more than 10 of your Chaos blokes - you need to leave some room for Papa Nurgle.

Not every army's going to be the same. I'd love 3+ armor saves, but I play guard and we don't get power armor (save for the Engineseer). It happens.

If the legions book ever becomes reality a few possabilities come to mind:

Land Raider:
emp chil varient with TL blastmaster turret(repalcing H bolters) and sonic blaster equivilent to hurricane bolters.

Nurgle varient with plasma sponsons... either plasma cannons or TL plasmaguns

Khorne varient with a deathrolla kind of option

Tzeentch varient with a 5+ cover save(or lance immunity) or a redeemer like varient(with flamers in little podiums LOL).

Obviously all of these would have to be balanced against other options in their list, etc.

Not quite a vehicle, but giving the different legions some large demon to take as a heavy option would also make them more chaosy(and less spiky marine). For instance, Slaanesh could get a large fiend or KoS type, Nurgle could get a large plague worm, Khorn could get a super juggernaught/super dreadnaught of fighty goodness, Tzeencth could get a mini tower or a skimmer mounted sorecer or bound demon that works like a heavy tank(ie a hammerhead-like tank with a psychic shooting attack).

Oh and dreadclaws should be introduced with similar but slightly different rules than drop pods. Perhaps only available if you take special character x because he still has a working starfleet and uses the tactic extensivly, so he can allow 0-2 squads to be mounted in dreadclaws which are drop pods that do not benefit from the part of the drop pod assualt special rule forcing half to come in on turn one(i.e they always go into reserve) since they don't maintain that kind of tech to be precise anymore. Oh and they shouldnt be able to come in off beacons.

I think it'd be cool to see a Chaos Landraider variant.

Here's my idea I'm calling the "Land Raider Butcher." Standard landraider with 12 man transport capacity replacing the heavy bolter and 2 twinlinked lascannons with 3x Twin Linked Reaper Autocannons. It comes equipped with with a pintle mounted weapon I call the "Torrent of Pain" that allows any unit assaulting out of the landraider to re-roll to wound rolls on the round they disembark to assault.

I look forward to Legion Land Raiders holding more than standard Chaos Land Raiders.

well the trator legions have been at it longer than everyone else, they must be bored of carrying around all the skulls.

i do like the idea of legion specific landraiders. an IW one with a siege gun on some sort on the front, a nightlords one that makes spooky noises that scare people away, a word bearer one that make everyone fearless/summons demons or summat. alhpa legion would be a little cliche, but you cant say do to infiltrating landraiders.

Regwon wrote:a nightlords one that makes spooky noises

That's actually more funny than scary. Maybe it's just the way you described it.

Actually though it's a good idea. I like the concept of Legion-specific Raider designs, just depends on how you'd do it.

An Alpha Legion Land Raider would just be one you deploy in your opponent's deployment zone with a Machine Spirit that just says 'I'm Spartacus' over and over.

I want a crusader variant. Lots of transport capacity and anti-troop guns. I'd remove the assault cannon and replace it with a heavy flamer. If the hurricane bolters are considered too "advanced", I'd change them to a bank of havoc launchers on each side, with the following profile (S4, Heavy 2).

The key to have the thing so it can carry a lot of troops and have weapons such that it can move and shoot all it's weapons.

Please give me some retorts about this idea. I think that instead of stealling a loyalist design we could make a chaos one instead. How about a Chaos Black Crusader: or Chaos Havok Land Raider
Two twinlinked havok luanchers on each sponson. (read two havok launchers on each sponson)
twin linked auto cannon on center mount.
16 model capacity.
Not super powerful, but is very much a chaos assualt vehicle and not some imperial take off.

Please tell me what you think

I think either a Plasma Cannon or a TL Autocannon with Havok Launcher or twin linked plasma gun sponsons would be good and cool.

The reason for havoc sponsons and an auto cannon in front is that it can move 6" and shoot everything. All those other fancy toys would mean, stand still, just like the current one. No good, chaos needs one meant for assualt.

What no comments on that configuration, not even from HBMC?

I like 'Black Crusader'.

As far as the weapons go... hmm... Havoc Launchers are kinda lame. Having four of them is just Lame X4. Not that it's a bad idea for weapons, I just wish there was something that screamed out 'I'm Chaos!' that wasn't a dinky Havoc launcher.

BYE

Chaos Land Raider should have a couple new variants:

Reaper/PC:
- twin Reaper Autocannon (use existing part from the Defiler)
- Plasma Cannon sponsons (new bit)
Transport 12

MAX Transport:
- twin HB
- Havoc sponsons (new bit)
Transport 20

I got it! To make it really Chaosy, a LR variant should have a Generic Daemon cannon! FUN

No, no.

'Greater Daemon Cannon' and a 'Lesser Daemon Cannon'.

BYE

I think a fluffy Chaos Land Raider would have it's weapons and transport capacity rolled randomly at the start of the game.
If you roll a 1, it shoots you instead. And, uh, your opponent can deploy his models in it. It would fit in with chaos because it's a random result.

Never get into games design Orkosaurus. You scare me.

Um, that would be a *POSSESSED* Land Raider.

No that'd be a *CRAP* Land Raider, like Possessed.
