I run a mounted SM force and have been debating on switching to razorbacks instead of rhinos, but i like having mounted 10 man squads too much. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228512/538533.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228512/538533.page GMT Rhino with two Storm Bolters? TL-HB for 5 Pts at reduced capacity (but you combat squad in 2/3rds of the missions). Rhinos are meant to be disposable, but if I ever had the points...

Otherwise they are marginal at best from a cost/effectiveness standpoint.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228512/538704.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228512/538704.page GMT Re:Rhino with two Storm Bolters? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228512/538764.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228512/538764.page GMT Rhino with two Storm Bolters?
Fourteen shots x BS4 = 9.33 hits

Versus MEQ(T4) = 4.7 wounds, 1.5 dead marines
Versus OEQ = 3.1 dead Orks (assuming an avg cover save of 5+)
Versus GEQ = 4.1 dead Guardsmen (assuming an avg cover save of 5+)

This is an average performance based on maximized shooting. If you pop smoke, move at cruising speed, or suffer a shaken/stunned result, or end your game early, you will reduce your efficiency by 1/7th.

In all situations, I think a sergeant with a combi flamer could do significantly better.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228512/538777.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228512/538777.page GMT Rhino with two Storm Bolters? SB being effective (As a Rhino or two are probably going to be your only vehicles), but the points are better used other places once you go above that.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228512/538786.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228512/538786.page GMT Rhino with two Storm Bolters? TL lascannon who setup on a flank. That was the only real shooting on the army I would use it soften up hordes as they came in. Obviously the storm bolter is better at range.

I have four rhinos in my BA list. I would like to take extra storm bolters but I just don't have the points. I do remember once killing a Nurgle daemon prince with a storm bolter mounted on a rhino... the prince was down to his last wound and I just got lucky.

I have found that a lot of times that the majority of my rhinos are still alive towards the end of a game... usually my opponents are focused on other units. By turn 5 usually a lot of the enemy units are dead and those extra shots can take their toll.

40 points buys you 2.667 hits at strength 5 ap 4

for 5 points you gain 4 seats and the ability to fix immobilized results, and then you take a huge hit in shooting output.

Whoever said, at 5 points is a gimme but at 10 its a head scratcher was pretty spot on.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228512/539055.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228512/539055.page GMT Rhino with two Storm Bolters? YMMV.

What it is, it is not the greatest upgrade. But you are upgrading medium range firepower. So you want to go SAFH, and you are determined to squeeze in as many anti-infantry guns as you can, specifically; it is a good upgrade. But if you are going for versatility you are probably better off with a combi-melta someplace.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228512/539440.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228512/539440.page GMT Rhino with two Storm Bolters?

Well, take extra armor if you run an assault based army mounted in Rhinos.
But storm bolters are a waste of points. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228512/539457.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228512/539457.page GMT Rhino with two Storm Bolters?
Plus you've earned your points back already when you've killed two orks or one space marine, or made that squad's morale break...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228512/539461.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228512/539461.page GMT Rhino with two Storm Bolters? tac marines and can threaten certain squads quite well (fire warriors for instance). For that ten points you gain a marginal ability to kill more and greatly increase your opponents likelihood to sink shots into a (still cheap) group transport. I would never take it over a razorback if you're only transporting 5/6 models but if it's moving a 10 man assault squad it's a great mobile followup for it's points.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228512/539875.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/228512/539875.page GMT Rhino with two Storm Bolters?

Not sure I follow you here. At 24" each Rhino bolter fires one (twin-linked) shot. A bit better than two marines but not as good as 4.
