I like vehicles that have transport capacity; to me, there's just something about transports that satisfies my need for narrative and cinematic game play.

So I'll second the Corvus Blackstar as my favourite flyer, and if GW ever makes a plastic Thunderhawk, that will top the Blackstar... But until that day, the idea of a resin vehicle with a pricetag that high is non-starter.

I also like the Spartan with its massive transport capacity, plastic construction and somewhat reasonable pricetag, even if I do have to use a Legends card to field it in 40k.

I LOOOVE the Mastadon, but again, expensive resin is not an offering that I take seriously. Make it in plastic and I'll buy one and use it as a Mobile Watch Fortress for my Deathwatch.

Keep making it out of resin and charging $800+ CAD for it and it'll be a cold day in hell before I do anything but laugh at it.

Dont you think the Corvus is a little over-the-top?

For a Stealth ship run by a secret organization, it seems a little ostentatious to me.

The Valkyrie seems much better suited for clandestine work.

I love the Termite Drill.

I love its look, its concept, & its play. I own 4.
They fit very well into my World Eaters & Death Guard. Other SM forces & Admech as well, but those two especially so....

In my WE they drop off Jackles & then proceed to make a right menace of themselves.
Plus I feel its a very Khornate thing to do to grind ones enemies up with a mining drill. I imagine there's a great amount of blood involved.

In the last Crusade my WE were in I had to spend Requisition Points so one of the drills could keep on gaining XP! It ended up with Legendary status.

Lucius-Pattern Vindicator.

It's the dozer blade. The MkIC Deimos Vindicator just isn't a Vindicator without the massive blade for clearing a path through the mines and rubble of the obstacle belts it just smashed.

And with the blade covering the whole front of the vehicle with a cut-out for the gun, small hole for the driver's vision, and drop-down doors for the headlights, it looks like the blade also acts as extra frontal armor for the assault gun to drive into the face of enemy guns. I always felt it should have had AV14 front for the massive blade and reinforced glacis compared to the Predator.

I use them with preference for my 30k stuff, and converted one to a Reductor Gun for my AdMech with the new MkIc Predator melta barrels.

My custom built space wolf turbo land raider using the VDR rules in 4th ed.

Stripped back armour, 15 troop capacity, fast engine, sponsons with twinlinked heavy bolters and a twin assault cannon.

Built it from bits I won at the local GW conversion competition using a model I convered to be tu'shan, salamanders chapter master. Back when they were I3 base.
