Now I have 3 heavy support slots full already but want to take a land raider.

So...

Can I have the Land Raider be a dedicated transport for a squad of terminators but have the termies teleport in and put a 6 man command squad in that Land Raider and say it is a dedicated transport. I say yes...

Also...

I want a razorback for some added fire power... So I bought a razor back with the command squad even though the command squad is 10 man strong and will be in the land raider... It does not say in the codex that the command squad has to be 6 models, nor does it say that the termies have to be in the Land Raider for it to be considered the dedicated transport.

I have had this debate with a friend of mine for several days now and I say I am right. What say you?

You can't start anything but the unit who bought the dedicated transport in the vehicle, but you can put anything in it on turn one.

You can buy vehicles even if the unit cannot fit inside.

Also... were in the hell are you getting a 10 man command squad?

I meant 6 typo

So I cant do that?

What about having a DP w.o anyone in it come into play and that unit that bought the DP was not in it at the start of the game?

You can buy a Land Raider and have it be a dedicated transport for a squad of terminators and have the terminators Teleport in. you can not have the command squad start in the land raider, but they can enter on your first movement phase.

You may indeed buy a transport for a unit that can not fit in in. so you can buy a razorback for your command squad and have the command squad deployed near the Land Raider ready to jump into the LR on your first movement phase.

Remember only the unit you bought the dedicated transport can be deployed inside of the transport at the beginning of the game, or you can deploy the dedicated transport empty and have someone else jump in on your turn.

Assuming your codex allows terminators to take Land Raiders as dedicated transports (e.g. not Grey Knights, etc), then you may do the following:

YES, the terminators may have a land raider dedicated transport and YES, they do not have to start the game in it.

NO, another unit may NOT start the game embarked upon the terminators' dedicated transport. This violates the rules of dedicated transports. However, your command squad may start the game next to the land raider and embark during their movement phase.

YES, you can buy the razorback for the command squad even though they are too large to begin the game embarked upon it. (This varies by codex, but is generally true in marine codices). Note that the command squad cannot start in the razorback, and the razorback will follow the same restrictions as the land raider (detailed above).

EDIT: Triple-Ninja-Draigo'd

Command Squad = Apothecary + 4 Marines

The idea you're presenting is correct, even if the verbage is not. You can do exactly what you're proposing except calling the Landraider a dedicated transport for your Command Squad. It will have to start turn 1 outside the 'raider and use their movement to embark.

Ok that is what I thought. The 10 man command squad was a typo.

So let me get this straight...

I can do it but I need to have the command squad on foot, and on the start of my turn they just hop inside the Land Raider? And I still can have the termies DS.

Yes.

Sweet thanks Guys!
