Greetings Dakka,

i have noticed something very peculiar that i hope somebody can converse with me about

in the DE codex there is a unit called a ravager, which carries no splinter weaponry of any kind and has no transport capacity. so my question is why in the hell does it have the ability to take splinter racks?

"splinter racks- whilst a model is embarked in a vehicle with splinter racks, all splinter weapons have the Twin-linked special rule"

The Ravavger itself does not have access to Splinter Racks, it has access to the Vehicle upgrades, of which the Racks are listed.
So you could take SRs on a Ravager, but they do nothing. GW only bothers to restrict what things a model can take when they don't want you to take them, not when they'll do nothing.

Ravagers are just anti-tank raiders, so they didn't' split the rules out further about what upgrades it could take.

Splinter racks on your kabalite transport raiders can be very useful.

Or when they're being tight-a**es about WYSIWYG. Land Raiders can't take Dozer Blades these days because there's no official way to model it, not because they shouldn't be able to.

Lmao alright thanks guys

For completeness sake.

Where's the assault ramp on a LR?

Yes, that.
