Sup brahs,

So after a while I'm getting back into 40k. I figured I would check out Forgeworld and see their offerings, and lo and behold what did thine eyes gaze upon? Why, it was nothing other than the FW CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT

I mean, look at this baby!


So I was wondering A. How many should I get and B. When I get them, what should I put in them? It looks like Rugged Riders are a no-go, so should I go with Ogres?

Thanks!

-Vlad

Ok, 4 seems like a lot at their pricepoint but I figure for Apoc they'd be useful.

Does anyone have suggestions for armament? I might use them with the industrial system I'm also thinking of purchasing with my friends so we can play on a hive world

Industrial tower system?

To go with your space corridors?

To be delivered with your CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT?

For your SPESS MEHRENS?

There are some who walk until their legs fail them and they fall to the ground. I find that respectable.
Then there are those who drag themselves further. I find that admirable.

A hive world sounds cool. You will probably need some space corridors and industrial towers, if you can find them. When you have your board set up please post pics of your FW CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT in action.

... in my space corridors?


It's more likely than you think.

I find the best way to use them is to put a Chimera inside the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT and then a cyclops inside the Chimera and then load the whole thing into a Leviathan so like turn the Leviathan so the back faces the enemy and drop each one and then like the cyclops is in the enemy depoyment zone on turn 1.

Dang! That's so ridiculous that it just...might...work. I'd like to see my opponent's reactions on this one.

BRB getting 20

@ Warpcrafter- Good idea! I think that if I put Creed inside the Chimera with the Cyclops, then I can tactically (and forcefully) insert my Leviathan into my enemy's rear flanks and then usher forth its goodness.

Hopefully the space corridors are wide enough to fit such a beast! Thanks Kid for that idea, definitely gonna use that my next game.

Anyone else have any luck with the venerable CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT? I'll see if I can use them at my local GW

But you have to paint them like this!

People capitalise CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT because it is awesome.
And sorry but the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT is far superior to the land raider...
