If a unit (loyalist SM unit, BA, Vanilla, SW, etc.) can take a Land Raider (variant) for a transport, then you can spam the stupid things, to the affect of 6 in a list? Still ? In 6e?

And, if this aspect of 40k has not has changed since 5e, Marneus is still the king and able to spam ... 7 of them?

It depends on the Codex, but most can "Spam" at least 3 of them.

Blood Angels can have Land Raiders as dedicated transports, so you could have 17 of them in one force org chart, not including allies.

**SlyasR**

I think it is pretty clear from codex

**Spetulhu**

Land Raiders cost points, a lot of them. And you also need a squad for each one to take them as dedicated transports. Hardly "spam" in the traditional sense.

**jegsar**

you can still fit 6 for CSMs in a 1825 game... I would call that spam...

DA can fit 5... in 1935

**Jefffar**

Wolves can get 4. One Wolf Guard gets to take one as DT, plus 3 Heavy Supports.

**jegsar**

in theory you could get 12 with DA but its 5430 points with 46 termies!

**Celtic Strike**

I was able to cram 2 Land raiders into a 750 point tourny a few months ago.

**jegsar**

That isn't spam that is funny. Spam is 3 flyers at 750 :-)

Thanks! This kind of post is the kind that should be exalted!

*sarcasm off*

If GW's rules and codecies were so clear, this forum and their erratas/FAqs wouldn't exist. Be helpful, please, or don't post.

6e didn't change any of this.

And Ultramarines are far from the biggest LR spammers. Blood Angels can do 19 I believe, with Black Templars right behind at 16. Dark Angels can now field 12.

Odds of seeing more than two or three on a regular battlefield are low though. They are very expensive, and aren't that hard to kill for some armies.

If an opponent at my local wanted to bring 5 land raiders in a 2000 pt list I'd get an evil grin on, as my Dark Lances tore them a new one or my Tankbustas spammed them down.

Deffrolla derby works pretty well too
