I wanna field The Bringers of Despair as a single formation army at 1000 points. Ignoring how impractical the unit choices for this is, I was wondering if there's any Dedicated Transports for Chaos Terminators that can hold 10 of them + Abaddon.

It has to be a Dedicated Transport, as otherwise the formation wouldn't allow me to take it. I know that I can probably get better options and mileage by using another detachment and whatnot, but this is for the hell of it so I wanna see how far I can stretch it.

Nope.

Your only choice is the Spartan or the Assault Claw, both of which are Heavy Support choices.

You're asking for a vehicle who's transport capacity is 22+. No army in the game has a dedicated transport at that size.

Welp. I was hoping the Spartan could have some Forge World Magic to have it as a Dedicated Transport. Did not know the Assault Claw could take Terminators though.

Terminators are Infantry, their isn't anything special about them that prevents them from being in a transport (It's the otherway around)

**Dantes_Baals**

Spartan assault tank, Dreadclaw or a Storm eagle (I'm pretty sure ).

**RenegadeKorps**

I'm not sure, but I think none of the FW chaos vehicles is a Dedicated transport choice, except the dreadclaw (which can't take terminators aboard).

And the Thunderhawk (685 points).

**jhe90**

Spartan, thunderhawk, marstadon (700 ish points) to be released soon.

All rather spendy.... In points and pounds

**Dantes_Baals**

If DT is part of your criteria, I'm afraid you're gak outta luck my friend. Honestly the best and cheapest option is to just sacrifice a HS slot for a spartan. I mean it can more or less double as a HS unit with the pair of quad LCs and a MM on top

**Griddlelol**

Deep Strike?

**Dantes_Baals**

Dedicated transports

**MechaEmperor7000**

Dang. I was specifically hoping the Spartan got a FW rule that it could be taken as a DT.

My alternative was to take a normal Raider, load it up with Daemonic Possession, then DS the terminators while the land raider fire at stuff. This is just to shore up the points to a clean 1000, not for any tactical value

The Kharybdis only has 20 slots I believe, rather than the 25 the spartan has, so it wouldn't allow for 10+ abaddoon anyway. Only the spartan does that, and well.... the thunderhawk. But yea, neither is dedicated.

**gwarsh41**

Plague Tower of Nurgle has a capacity of 30.

However it cost 700pt and is so out of date is uses structure points, also, its an apocalypse only model.

It IS a chaos transport that can hold 10 termies and abbadon, with room to spare, also, 10 firing points!

I believe the recent FAQs did state that no models are ever really out of date. So this one is still playable. Using the old structure=hull conversions, it has 18 hull points. It is not an assault vehicle though, so not too hot for terminators. Plus, there wont be anything left alive nearby to assault!

**Valkyrie**

There are Baneblade variants which have 25-50 slots, and I believe they are also Assault Vehicles. While they're not DTs you're pretty much out of luck otherwise unless you go for HS choices.

For the record, you can take a DT for a squad, even if there are initially too many models in the squad to deploy in that transport... I think.

**MechaEmperor7000**

Yeah I know. But a Land Raider is a tad expensive for a glorified turret on wheels.
