Just for fun, I decided to see if I could make a coherent 5 Land Raider Vanilla list

HQ Captain- storm Bolter, Chainsword

Elites Terminators (8 strong)- Dedicated Land Raider Crusader
Elites Assault Terminators (8 strong)- 5 TH/SS, 3 LC, Dedicated Land Raider Crusader

Troops Tactical Squad (10 strong)- Flamer, Missile Launcher, Rhino
Troops Tactical Squad (10 strong)- Flamer, Missile Launcher, Rhino
Troops Scout Squad (9 strong)- Sniper rifles

Heavy Support- Land Raider
Heavy Support- Land Raider
Heavy Support- Land Raider Redeemer


2500 points

This is just a S**ts and Giggles list. With just the termies and 5 raiders it was north of 1800 points. So, just about everything else is as cheap as possible (the storm bolter for the captain is only cause I had 3 points left over). The two terminator squads are in Crusaders just so I can get more of them in (seeing as the rest of the list is bare bones tacticals and AV14s).

So what are your thoughts on this? Could this list actually do damage? Or just flounder under it's own weight?

Why don't you drop the terminator squads to five, change the captain to Kor'Sarro Khan, and then the landraiders can outflank, and it suddenly becomes a pretty scary list. How does that sound?

Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

I say drop the scouts, bump the termies up with either more members or upgrades as well as the captain and make the redeemer into a crusader.

I forgot to add that I don't intend on ever building this list. Its just an experiment.

Or take Shrike. Fleet terminators coming out of land raiders is pretty scary too.

Turn that captain into a Chaplain or Libby and you will be in business.

Well you could always bump it up to 7 land raiders until April...

Sorry, but I see no feat in including a LR per 500 Pts., it can be easily done with any SM or CSM army, and altough I like and even designed a couple of lists similar to yours, it is an expensive try on spamming, because LR's cost dramatically reduces its maximum number.
Improve that point and you will get something worthy by itself.

AV 14 spam is hard@ss no matter what and few to no list is seriously prepared to face this in big numbers, but it can get boring, even for both sides, since it is no fun having no chance against an enemy, granting that enemy WILL try and sweep any unit capable against said AV 14, so what rests after that?

On the other hand, why rhinos when you have 3 empty LR's that will get you more safely wherever you want to go?
Is it for dedicated transport troops FOC status?

As I said, I already tried some lists and it IS a funny thought, but maybe not that funny playing.

@timetowaste85
An outflanking LR army is nasty to see, only drawback being you risk yourself fast into melta range, but you might as well have stomped upon those units before they can affect you...

What does "until april" mean?

And if the current DH pdf means anything, allies go away.

How are you supposed to get 7 land raiders? Vanilla can only get a maximum of 5 (2 dedicated for terminators, and 3 Heavy Support slots).

Demon Hunters can have more.

DH allies. Some of the units you can take are allowed LR's as dedicated transports.

to be honest, this list is not to hard to beat, DE lances will laugh at them :(
I would personally rock up 9 zoanthropes and go open up some cans xD
but then again it is just for a laugh xD I tried the ultimate swarm army and that was pretty funny

The Tyranids are like the great Hydra, remove one head, two more will sprout from it's neck equally deadly, they care not for plea for mercy, for they have no soul to care. All that is left in the void of their soul is a hunger, It is this, that the marines cannot kill...

The general Librarian sentiment is, i think a good one. I'd also take the Missile launchers and replace those with multi-meltas
