I'm unfamiliar with the chaos codex and I have a question. Do chaos land raiders have power of the machine spirit or any similar rule? Can they split their fire and shoot at two targets like space marine land raiders? Does giving them demonic possession or some other vehicle upgrade allow them to do this? Thanks!

No, they don't get anything like PotMS. Daemonic Possession helps with Shaken and Stunned results only.

Sad but true. Fingers crossed for the next codex.

Well damn, that means the guy I played in a tournament on saturday (at the #1 table in the final round...) cheated. I guess its my fault for being unfamiliar with the chaos codex, and for not asking him to show me in the codex where it says they can split their fire. I would have won if he wasn't doing that. FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU

This. In a tournament setting, I will not hesitate to ask to see an opponent's codex. It may be awkward for a moment, but after that, he was either proven right, or he learned something, so either way the game progresses.

Ya sadly chaos doesn't have power of the machine. Like everyone said before wish they did. But yes I make a point of questioning everything about an army I don't know. But always remember to be nice.

Yup lesson learned. This was my first tournament in a few years. And I did not at all expect to end up at the #1 table in round 3, so I was sort of flustered and nervous. To be fair, he was borrowing a friend's army and did not have much experience playing chaos, he probably didn't do it intentionally. But... he only won by ~150 victory points, and had his land raider not been splitting fire, I'm pretty sure I would have won. It stun locked a ravager and my razorwing for two turns, and then blew up my razorwing, which still had all 4 missiles waiting to be fired. By winning that game he won best overall, with ~$150 prize in store credit... I have sent a message to the organizer, if only to give myself some degree of closure.

To be fair, they used to have Infernal Device, which was the same as PotMS. So it wouldn't surprise me if there are still plenty of players out there who haven't noticed that it's gone.

Yea it took me a couple games to notice the change....after which a smashed the damn raider to bits (not really but wanted to).

By the way big fan of how you DE are looking!

They currently don't have anything like POTMS, but they do have demonic possession, which always allows it to move and/or shoot, plus chaos land raiders can get dozer blades, though they only work at combat speed.
