I'm making a legion list and I cant remember what number of models the spartan can hold, and my rule book is 30 miles away...can someone refresh my memory?

'Rhinos worth' is now a sanctioned Imperial form of counting.

-We'll need about 10,000 Rhino's worth of guardsmen to take that Fortress!

-Get a Rhino's worth of supplies up here now!

-Sergeant, boot that guardsman up the bum ten Rhino's worth of times if he falters!

And then there is the mechanicum that do everything in chimera's worth.

That explains why the imperium is doing so badly, different scale of measurements.

There are entire worlds in the Imperium dedicated to converting between Rhinos and Chimeras on official government documents.

25 men.

25 African or European men?!

Also explains why that Mars rover missed its mark...the engineers were using Rhinos and the programmers were using Chimeras.

I'm glad to see "Razorback" is too outdated to mention.

Seriously, guys, you don't need to use euphemistic values to hide game mechanics. Fair use (or fair dealing, in the UK) is very explicit about our right to excerpt relevant sections of copyrighted materials.

Don't quote to excess and keep the content limited to what's needed for discussion, but being coy about it like this is neither necessary nor productive.

Jeez grumpy pants they were just having a little fun. I also can't imagine anyone who plays 40k and who also knows what a Spartan Assault Tank is that wouldn't know the transport capacity of a rhino.

Looks like someone mixed their razorbacks with their rhinos.....

Yes, and it took the conscripts three weeks to sort them out. They could have been off fighting a Tyrannid swarm, but you guys had to drown them in bureaucratic legalese.

Look at the face of that poor conscript. He'll never know what it means to die for the Emperor now.

That guy is at least as grumpy as 3.7 disgruntled renegade planetary governors.

Are the worlds Imperial or Mechanicum?

Are you suggesting that planetary governors migrate?

No, I was merely suggesting that two rhinos might have flown it over.
