Vet Squad- 3xMelta, Chimera 155
Vet Squad- 3xMelta, 100 (Rides in Vendetta)
Vet Squad- 3xFlamer, Demolitions (rides in Vendetta)

Vendetta

HEAVY SUPPORT

LRBattle Tank Squadron- 2x Leman Russ Battle Tanks, Sponson HB 340
LRDemolisher- HB, Sponson Plasma 205
LRVanquisher- LC, Pask

By swapping my HQ from the Vendetta to the Chimera, I feel it gives me an easier time protecting them, especially when I have alot more troops around. I am debating dropping Rambo in exchange for 4+ save on some of the Vet Squads, but I would have to find points from somewhere else to do so. I really do not want to drop the LR, Id swap it in a minute for a Rhino and another Vet Squad w/Chimera or Valkyrie but I don't have either of the transports. Problem atm is I only have points for 2 squads with 4+ and I would need another 55 points for my HQ and last Vet squad to get the upgrade.

Run this...

HQ--Inquisitor Lord- 2xMystic, Hood, CCW/Bolter, Rhino

All you need from DH

Yeah, the problem is:

I would like to take 2 more vet squads w/chimeras but I wont have the models
PBS w/chimera but I wont have the models
Another CCS, 4xmelta w/Vendetta, but i dont have them models.

so yeah

Pask in a vanquisher is tempting but you probably don't want it. You dont buy sponsons for it so if theres a weapon destroyed it's useless. The points are better spent elsewhere such as an executioner or pask in a punisher. If you're worried about more tank kill take another vendetta.

You can't actually take a LR w/either grouping. LR's aren't transport options for any form of GK. They can only get it in the HS which you can't ally in. The Inq in the first group could but no one but him is allowed in it as it is considered a dedicated transport.

Well that kinda puts a damper on my idea. Hmm.

What about Rhino's?

Let's start with this question.

What models do you have available? If we can work from there, there's a lot available through the Daemonhunter's Codex that can provide critical support to your IG.

The Grey Knight Hero can have an upgrade transport per the codex, which is a Landraider. I don't really know how that works if they are being allied in though. I'd assume if the LR was taken as an upgrade, it would be part of the unit instead of a heavy support choice.

I don't have the codex right here in front of me, but that is how people fit like 7 land raiders into a 2500pt 'ard boyz list, which I have seen. A transport upgrade LR for each squad and then 3 LRs for those heavy support slots. But like I said before, that is in a DH list, I don't know how it works for allying them in.

No, a GK hero cannot take a land raider as a transport. Only an inquisitor can.

I guess I was incorrect, seems kind of silly though that they can't get a transport upgrade. Maybe its because they expect you to take them in a crusader with extra terminator space or something.

Well, I think I solved the issue. Im updating my list right now.

i just read the codex.... anyone can take a chimera, rhino, or landraider transport.

No, they can't. The options for dedicated transports are seperated from the rest of the codex but only the units specifically allowed to take their listed transport in the entry options are allowed.

ex. Inquisitors w/retinue may take a chimera, rhino, or landraider

stormtroopers may take a chimera or rhino

GK's can't take crap for transports. It's unfortunate but true.

Unfortunately he is correct. I really wish I could take a 5man GK squad hunkered in a LR.

I scoured my codex to find this the other night... its a real bummer. I totally don't understand why they wouldn't let you take a transport upgrade for GKT/PAGKs... and heck not even a Grey Knight Hero+retinue. I guess they want to to deep strike them all... so you can scatter them into oblivion if you are unlucky
