Any news on how land raiders improved or didn't in the new space marine codex? also a Land raider Radeemer would it be a decent choice in my Salamanders army?

Big change is them getting chapter tactics. I think the LRR flamestorm cannons got a points drop, and I thought I read somewhere more range. But I’m not fully up on the rumors.

Salamander CTs don’t bring a huge amount to LRRs, but it is something.

One of the Successor Chapter Tactics is an extra 3" on all ranged weapons, so that would put them at 11". Otherwise no range buffs so far.

Land raider flamer should be 12 inches I think I don't see why they wouldn't also land raiders a staple in space marines should be more viable.

I really wish they were. I have a Redeemer all painted up and waiting on the Salamanders supplement in the hopes that it gives us a little boost.

I would think they will consider it cause salamanders are all about flame and melta so we will see. I will by one cause I think they are cool. who knows if salamanders will get a supplement though?

Consider that none of the Codex compliant chapters have any characters in the base codex anymore, and that the number of supplements is the same as the number of chapters (two of which have already been released).

They even stated on Fb that a PDF will be released once the base Codex is available that will allow the unique characters to be played until their supplements release.

If rumors that intercessor sarges can take hand flamers and thunder hammers are true, I think we will see a salamander supplement sooner, rather than later. Just my guess, but what other vanilla chapters would be in character for those options?

Regular Land Raider went down 20 points but that is all as far as I can see. No change for the LRR or LRC.

As Ultra you could now fall back and shoot. That alone is a nice bonus. Also as Iron hand, you would degrade very slowly and have a 6+++

-1 am on the crusader (from the doctrines) seems sweet too for LRC

Land Raider drops to 180
Crusader 200
Redemer 180

So weapons changes to, but nothing to significant.

The biggest buff is that vehicles now get Chapter tactics. So now that ulramarine LR can fall back and still shoot..
