I'm unsure if this should be in 40k Fluff or not...
Is there a Land Raider variant that is dedicated entirely to shooting things and, if so, where are the rules for it?
(If there aren't, I'm liable to make one...)

Forge World makes the Land Raider Achilles. The rules are in one of the IA books, not sure which one.

It has only a transport capacity of 6. Instead of its front ramp, it has a Thunderfire Cannon. And TL-MM sponsons.

Its also the most insanely durable vehicle in existence. -1 on the damage chart and its immune to the lance and melta special rules.


Forge World also has the Land Raider Helios which is an AA variant.

There is also the Land Raider Ares. Which has a Demolisher Cannon.

It used to have an Apocalypse Datasheet. You can probably find it somewhere on the internet.

Tell that to the Imperator Titan. 36 HP FTW.

Considering the size, though, it's not insane that the Imperator is that tough.
Also: A single meltagun can kill an Imperator in one shot. Unlike a certain tank...

Love this guy. I use it to hunt whatever _wing comes my way.

Didn't it lose one of those? IIRC, that's what it had in its experimental rules, but I seem to remember it lost one of those when it got official rules in Imperial Armour.

There's another Land Raider (A REALLY old one) that only has immunity to melta, I think. (I read about a bunch of these.)

The only old Land Raider like that that I remember was the Salamanders upgrade in Codex Armageddon that gave it immunity to melta weapons extra half range die and, IIRC, they lost that when the 3.5 codex was released (though I didn't play 4th, so I don't know if that gem crept into any other Space Marine books).

The Proteus Land Raider can buy ceramite armor.

Maybe, I haven't seen what happened to it after the experimental rules.

Lol, true that.

The Land Raider Terminus Ultra is dedicated to shooting and picking up chicks.

You should model some Sororitas on the hull swooning over the Driver.
