Basically the idea is putting five assault centurions and a chaplain into a land raider crusader and starting on the half way line giving you first turn charges (provided you don't go first of course), is there any worse ways of spending 500+ points in one unit for the new book?

Firstly, you need Khan for this to work. Scout is not part of the White Scars CT.

Secondly, p41 of the BRB:
"A unit that makes a Scout redeployment cannot charge in the first turn."

Unless there's something in an FAQ, there's nothing about going first or second. This a common mix-up people seem to make between 40k and Fantasy.

**MasterSlowPoke**

The first turn is the first player turn. You can assault if you go second. It's in the FAQ.

**Henshini**

Page 9 of the BRB states that unless it specifies "game turn", the word turn refers to a player turn. Therefore, if I go second, my first turn is not the first player turn, so I can assault with my scouts.

A: Yes.

**easysauce**

get three of these, and TBH, since no LR's in the meta, this could be fun!

**Godless-Mimicry**

Good to know I was wrong, though not sure why it took 3 people over a decent amount of time to say it.

As for the idea in the last post, it isn't possible to get 3 sets of that combo unless you are playing huge point games, for both points and FOC reasons.

Khan makes the LR dedicated, so go to town imo.

**schadenfreude**

Do assault centurians still only take 2 transport slots?

**Rune Stonegrinder**

yes it is silly, so stop thinking about it

seriously, what happens if your playing armies well equiped to smash this with shooting, Drop pods, or want to accept the charge, like Nids? It seems a really bad buy for 300 points

**The_Slight_Brigade**

I believe they take three spaces each.

**schadenfreude**

3 Sounds about right, thought they were very bulky.

Could go 5 cents + chaplain in a crusader. Seems everybit as good as 7 hammers

3 in a redeemer or godhammer doesn't make much sense. 5 Hammernaters in a redeemer seems better than 3 Cents, and the redeemer would really like to get in close early .

Godhammer just doesn't seem to belong in a white scars list.
