I just don't get this super heavy transport. I downloaded the experimental rules love the look of the model but once i actually got to reading the pdf was dissapointed! My girl got me a Stormlord for x mas all put together and primed ready to be painted . I run my IG in blobs and loved the idea of the Stormlord and it's heavy metal fire power...So now i see this BS kit come out from FW even if it is 275 points cheaper than a Stormlord with out sponsons i just don't see the appeal when you could have a Stormlord with a structure point more and a main gun that can lay down more fire power than the Crassus standard gear also no fire points and the Stormlord counts as open topped for troops disembarking. Just curious which do you think is superior ?

I am confused.

What exactly is your rules question?

Well some people, including me, think that the Crassus simply looks better than the Stormlord, thats why they prefer it. And yes, you do get a lot less with the Crassus than with the Stormlord but maybe that's to do with the fact that it's half the points of the Stormlord, so your whining about how the Crassus is apparently so BS is invalid.

It's not a question of rules iam just curious why any one would waste the money on a Crassus when they can most likely walk to a FLGS and pick up a Stormlord even kitted out the Stormlord wins in my POP so eat them apples

So by your logic no-one should ever buy DKK or Elysian models as you can buy vanilla IG for cheaper, despite the fact that they look at least 10x better?

Oh and quit it with the "so eat them apples" attitude, it's just juvenile and isn't impressing anyone. ¬¬

The CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT is a cheaper, smaller alternative. Not everyone wants the points sink/fire magnet that a Stormlord represents.

From a completely nonbiased point of view, the Crassus is better in every way, every day.

Someone called for me?
The CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT looks better IMO and can take a fair few heavy weapons.
It also has the shiny bonus of being less recognisable than the Stormlord. People see a baneblade and every heavy weapons team on the board is gonna try and re-enact David versus Goliath.

I couldn't help but notice that the title of this thread is spelled incorrectly. I could've sworn it was more like...
CRASSUS ASSAULT VEHICLE
or even more like
CRASSUS ARMORED ASSAULT VEHICLE
