Question says it all, can assault marines remove their jump packs and ride in a land raider? I play Vanilla Space Marines and want to run my captain with an assault squad in a Land Raider for the assault ramps etc. is this allowed?

thanks in advance,

LDP

I think so.

When you pick you army list you can buy assault marines for the same cost, but leave the jump packs off. make sure you mark this down in your army list. You can't have them with the jump packs for the start of the battle, and then take them off to embark a vehicle...

Vanguard veterans have a similar option....

Yes, of course. Thanks alot!

Yes, when you take them they can be fielded with no jump-packs, and they get a free Rhino. They do not have to deploy in this Rhino, and could instead deploy in the Land Raider.

Vanguard Vets have to buy their jump-packs as an upgrade.

So if they don't take jump packs, then they get a free rhino?
And my tactical marines can use that rhino?!

Yes they can, although they can't deploy in it. They can embark on the first turn, though.

only if the land raider is a dedicated transport for another unit if it's a heavy support choice they can deploy in it.

Didn't make myself clear, that was in regard to the Tac squad using the Assault squad's 'free' Rhino.

honestly, I assumed the same thing Spongemonkee did from the thread preview; then I read the actual thread.

Always a wise course of action, Komrade Kommissar.
