I am considering fielding a (possibly 2) land raider proteus variants. I was wondering a few things about them. First of all I know they lack an assault ramp. Is this as big a problem as I think it is? What kind of units should go inside one? Does the penalty to reserve rolls stack if you take more than one? I remember there being precedent for it with autarch bonuses stacking for incoming reserves. I just see a great deal of potential for them. Moving forward with units that either score or can assault after taking a round of shooting could be a use and if the penalty stacks to reserve rolls then they could screw an opponents reserves. Combine that with armored ceramite to make you melta immune and your talking a really hard nut to crack that can provide a deal of help to the rest of an army. What do you all think?

I've got one which I had in mind for using with my CSM army but it fails to make any of my list builds due to not having the assault ramp and limit of only 8 models and not being able to carry terminators. So at the cost of the model points wise and for example to cost of either bezerkers or chosen it makes it a very expensive unit for what it does and what it carries. Model I love though.

I'll probably have one on some of my legion lists as it's pretty hard to crack and I don't have a dire need of an assault ramp on most of my lists. Plus the bit of a points deduction for the loss of that ramp is useful elsewhere.

Well after you get the ceriamite plating on it its not much cheaper. What units go well with a proteus?

Devastators, Sternguard, Shooty Command squads, undersized Tac squads that really need to get to far objectives, scouts.

Just as a RAW issue the Augry does not actually work in disruptive mode: "at the start of any of the owning player’s turns,....their effect lasting until the start of the next player turn". T
