So, combat squad the Tact squads, Master goes with 1 of them. Thats 8 TL lascannons and 3 ML+conversion beamer. Maybe not enough, but fun for sure!

I think if your taking that many LRs why not take at least one Crusader or something to help battle troops that are probably riding in the transports. The TL Assault Cannon that comes on Crusaders is useful as well on light transports if they happen to get in the 24'' range....

Either way this is a legal four LR list and would probably bother some lists, other lists would just shoot through it with strong anti-tank units.

Rock is so awesome when people throw scissors. However, you'll find great difficulty with paper.

In short, your games will likely be decided simply by many meltas your opponent has.

I like it, in principle. But as Dracos said, you might have some problems due to the propensity of Melta weaponry in the game.

Also, MotF might be a poor choice. He would rarely be able to effectively fire his Conversion Beamer, since Land Raiders don;t have fire points, and if it moves, well, a Conversion Beamer is Heavy. A far better choice would be a Terminator Chaplain riding with the Assault Terminators in a Redeemer. That re-roll to hit is really helpful. That'll also give you a little more anti-infantry firepower, which you need. Give it Extra Armor, and a Multi-Melta, if you can afford it.

4 landraiders will be tough to deal with UNLESS your opponent has meltas. With everybody running lists like this you'll come across alot of anti tank. If your opponent doesn't have meltas then it'll be effective.

I predict alot of draws with this army. You don't have enough punch to drop your enemies and you'll be fighting to just hold objectives. I would run 2 crusaders and 2 landraiders just to get yourself a couple meltas and anti-horde.

Ran a GK army 1500pts with 3 LR's. I won 1 round, drew 1 and minor lossed another. It was pretty hard to hold ground basing an army on LR's.


*Would be interesting running 6

Simply put... its kinda weak. IG will wreck your house, you'll have a damn hard time downing orc Kan style lists, other BA lists run a LOT of melta (as do most marine lists)... I honestly don't like LR spam style lists. You lack flexibility, and if someone trumps your LR's, your a sitting duck with nothing else thats a threat really.
