I have a question for all you dakkaites out there. What do you think is the best all around transport in the game?

Personally I'm going to have go with the chimera. It just has so many goodies that come with it all for 55 points. front armor 12, two guns (one of which is strength 6!) a transport capacity of 12, mobile command, and 5 firing

points! It can transport and still perfrom light tank duties afterwords. And don't forget that it's still AMPHIBIOUS!! Theres just so many great things about it and I love using it.

**Ridealgh**

Wave serpents. 12 transport plenty of guns. fast as hell. well armoured and anything above S8 counts as S8 against it. no more railguns for you tau!

**Coolyo294**

A Razorback.

**Igenstilch**

CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT

**Nuclear_Bomb**

I would have to say the Land Raider Redeemer

**Brother SRM**

A Land Raider, as a Terminator squad (or ant Blood Angel squad) may take one, points efficiency be damned

**ChiliPowderKeg**

Most certainly NOT the Devilfish

Beat me to it!

I'd have to say Valkyire/Vendetta for it's role as both transport and gunship, it can carry 12 models and if the Dice Gods favor you you can deploy the troops whilst moving flat out.

But point/efficiency wise, the Chimera wins.

**Mr. Self Destruct**

Raw effectiveness goes to the humble Wave Serpent.
Points-effectiveness goes to either the Rhino or Chimera. Rhinos are basically the points of 2 more Marines for being able to shuttle across the field, and Chimeras are awesome in a can with AV12 and 36" shooting.

**tetrisphreak**

Seeing as how both of my regular DE opponents rarely fail their flickerfield saves, I have to throw in Venoms as a suggestion. 12 poisoned shots at 36" does a lot of damage.

**Chowderhead**

Something that gets me from here to their faces. As long as it does that, who cares?

**TechMarine1**

Stormlord. Can carry 40 models that are allowed to assault out of it (vehicle is open-topped for passengers ONLY).

**snake**

I second the vote for a Land Raider. 14 all around and one hell of a payload.

**juraigamer**

Wave serpent.

Barring that...

CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT

**kronk**

rhino. It's cheap.

**Commisar Wolfie**

My top three
1.Venom
2.Chimera
3.Land Raider

**SOFDC**

I vote GK Razorback. Followed by GK Stormraven.

**SlaveToDorkness**

Venom

Obscenely good for obscenely cheap.

**Shadelkan**

1. Chimera
2. Rhino
3. Valkyrie
4. YOUR MOM

**Vaktathi**

I'm surprised by the limited responses in regards to the Chimera and Valk/Vendetta.

In absolute terms, probably the wave serpent, but if you factor in cost effectiveness and force multiplier capability, Rhinos and Chimeras.

**Grey Templar**

I would say GK rhinos and Razorbacks.

**Helvost**

Wave Serpent...You can no contend

**DarknessEternal**

Wave Serpents are too overpriced to compete with something like a Rhino in this category.

**AlmightyWalrus**

Imperator Titan. Hey, it can carry infantry in it's feet!

**Lord Rogukiel**

This!

Otherwise I go with the Wave serpent or rhino

**Klogger**

Im going to say Land Raider, as a transport, it will get its juicy cargo where ever you need it to be, with little to no damage to it or the said juicy cargo,

my juicy cargo happens to be Sternguard with combi flamers and meltas, whatever is in front of the LR when they pop out is going to die, no ifs, ands, or buts. It has never failed at this, which is why LR gets my vote

**guyperson5**

Stormraven. Decent armour, weapons and rather quick

**Relic_OMO**

It is without question the Razorback, with the Raider a very, very close second.

Wave Serpents might be hardest to kill, but they don't fulfil the basic functions or exploit the vehicle rules anywhere near well enough to be best. They have no fire points, thus cannot be a mobile bunker, and cost too much to have lots of them. They cannot be assaulted out of either, thus making one of the most common uses of a transport very difficult.

The Razorback, on the other hand, is laughably cheap, and the BA and GK versions are far overpowered for their cost. The Raider is probably more effective as a pure transport due to open-topped, and would be better by far than the Razorback if it were AV 11 and thus immune to small arms.

**DPBellathrom**

raider as I can get a turn one charge and it packs a nasty gun. And if all else fails give it a shock prow and slam it into a tank
