a while ago i made some rules for a landraider with a missile oriented arment. they were at best patchy and incomplete.
so in faithul dedication to my idea i have returned to finish what i started.

Landraider Hellstreak 300pts?

BS F S R
4 13 13 13

arment
sponson mounted MLS pods

Hull mounted Hellstreak missile launcher

MLS pod R60" S5 AP4 Heavy1 large blast pinning.

Hellstreak missile launcher
destroyer missile R72" S8 AP1 Heavy1 Melta

Hellstreak missile R72" S7 AP3 Heavy1 largeblast pinning ignores cover

transport
due to the large number of missiles this variant carries it has no transport capacity.

special rules

masses of missiles
if the landraider hellstreak suffer an explosion result on the damage table then the radius is 2d6" and any vehcles within this range count as peing hit by a melta gun(S8 2d6 armour penertration) non veihcle units suffer a wound on a 2+ and suffer a -1 to armour saves.

what does the dakka community think of this.

Thats a brutal land raider, it looks like it could be devastating, for only 200 pts with av 14?? and that good of a loadout? id up the points a bit.

Seem way too overpowered for 200 points.

No tank should be able to throw out 3 S6-S7 large blasts per turn. Such a thing could reliably expect to kill 100-200 points of horde troops each turn, and that's way too much.

ive lowerd the armour as this variant is desighned for long ranged support and upped the points. ive also lowerd the MLS pods strength. what do you think guys.

This isn't a Land Raider if it isn't based off the Land Raider chassis, ergo, it should be AV14/14/14, Also, 250 points for 3 5" Blasts, 2 of which are Ap3 and ignore cover? Way overpowered. I woul tone them all down to S5 Ap4 Pinning Blasts. Also, the explosion rule makes no sense. So S7 Ap3 missiles somehow cause a S8 Ap1 2D6 Penetration strength explosion? Just make it the regular explosion rules, except that the radius is 2D6"

please read rules properly. then replie.
only 1 blast is AP3 and ignores cover.
the explosion rule represents all the missiles INCLUDING the destroyer missiles all going of at once.
this landraider is desighned as a long range support veihcle ergo the reduced AV to represent some of the armour being removed to allow more missiles to be stored.
the predator is based on the rhino chassis and yet it has different AV to allow it to fulfill its role. this landraider variant is desighned for long range support of attacking troops. i imagine it sitting back and blasting the sh!t out of entrenched enemy forces and bastions. hence less armour and longer ranged weapons 1 of which can ignore cover and power armour. i was origionaly going to make it ignore invun saves but i decided that was OP.

super powerful, still although its an improvement, maybe the melta blasts can have a limit, like you can only shoot 3 per game?

edit: game, i mean... lol

um
destroyer missiles ARNT blast
