You know that, huh? You're sure you know that? Absolutely certain? No way you could be wrong on that?

(LR is 14 all around)

Edit: I'm an ass, you were talking about the Leman Russ, not the Land Raider.

Sorry.

I think some of the massive fortifications have an AV value of 15.

But for vehicles, 14 all around is pretty much as good as it gets.

I think the LR he is refering to is the Leman Russ which is 14/13/10or 11

Technically, you can bring Lords of War when it's not an Apocalypse game.
But yeah, the best armor is probably going to be a Spartan Assault Carrier with Armored Ceramite - AV14 all around, with an immunity to Melta.
Some buildings can get 15.
The only vehicle with 15 is the Warlord Battle Titan, a 30k model with Av15/15/14, immunity to Haywire and Melta, and a 5+ invuln,

Well, there are the 2 Macro Engines, which, thanks to their flare shields on steroids, effectively have front armour 17 in the first game turn.
And then there's the Warlord titan with front 15 anyway.

avoiding the lorax on Crion

Heavy fortifactions get av15

Only av14 all round are land raider. Necrons o belive have one and titans, probbly battle titans mostly.

Even baneblades are not full 14 I'm sure.

Most have some area of thinner armour.

FudgeDumper - It could be that you are just so uncomfortable with the idea of your chapters primarch having his way with a docile tyranid spore cyst, that you must deny they have any feelings at all.

The FW questoris knight can have the equivalent of AV15 in the right situations as it's flare shield reduces the strength of incoming fire, and there is a technomancy psychic power that can boost AV by 1 so you can have pseudo AV16 - but in reality you'll never pull that off.

you can buff your stuff with +1 AV all around from technomagic. Though, AV that's higher than 13 doesn't matter all that much as all this same technomagic and haywire ignore av alltogether. And they're very easy to aquire en masse. There are also d-weapons and grav that are also easy to get for some armies. You could have av1000 on all sides and it still wouldn't matter vs 90% competitive armies. The jump from av 12 to 13 is pretty significant cause of all those s6 weapons though.
