just a question about who can use a rhino.

Can any spacemarine unit board it, or is it only the unit it is attached to? I want my rhino to go all over the board offering support to all units. And on top of that, can it hold two different squads of 5marines?

 

Check page 62 of the rulebook: "Who can use a transport vehicle?"


Only the unit it was purchased for may use it, and it can only hold one unit at a time.

A rhino is a "dedicated transport" meaning it can be only used by the squad it is purchased for.

But there are transports that can be bought as dedicated transports or seperatly.

Case in point, the landraider. If a space maring command sqaud buys a landraider from its entry as a dedicated transport (using up the same HQ slot the command squad does), only they can ride in it. But if you use a heavy support slot for a landraider, that thing can be passed around like a $2 hooker. Anyone could use it.

Sigged. First time I heard of a $50 odd dollar model described that way, but I do feel dirty used and abused and thrown away when I walk out of the store carrying one.

My Land Raider always goes down in the first five minutes.
