3 Land Raiders will take up a lot of points so it's likely that you'll come up short in some areas in your list and the three (official) LR types all offer their own advantages. Personally, I'm thinking that it may be advantageous to run them all with different weapons loadouts and I also like the extra transport capacity that the Crusader brings but in terms of weaponry, i think that the Redeemer is a better infantry counter (gotta love those flamestorms) whereas the standard 2 twin linked las cannons are nothing to be sniffed at and offer great range and AP2.

In case you need to know, I'll be playing this list with my purifiers (Crowe, 3 Purifier squads and 3 ven dreads) and also deathwing (I realise that there's no Redeemer in the DA codex and am not fully set on my DW list yet but do wish to try more than one LR in the list). I know it's not going to be the most rounded or competitive but it's gonna be a blast playing these lists.

So, what's your thinking on this Dakka? Stick with them all being the same or mix and match? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404567/3456915.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404567/3456915.page GMT Advice needed on Multi-LR list weapons loadout http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404567/3456979.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404567/3456979.page GMT Re:Advice needed on Multi-LR list weapons loadout LR, I take the crusader.

However, LR spam is a different animal. The variant is going to heavily depend on what you intend to put inside, and the point size of the game.

Its a hard question to answer without seeing some lists, but I'd probably try to keep them cheap by running LRRs. Alternatively since the LRs are going to be taking up a considerable portion of your points, you might have to go with the standard LR to get the TL LC firepower.

Depending on how the rest of the list is going to look, either go 2 and 1 or all identical. I dont see 1 of each as an option, and running multiple LRCs probably won't be as good as the other variants.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404567/3457009.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404567/3457009.page GMT Re:Advice needed on Multi-LR list weapons loadout
The lists I'm going to use are Purifiers - 6 men in each LR, all with halberds and 3 Ven Dreads. I'll have a few points to play with I think if I take the Redeemer since they're cheaper in the GK dex so could take some hammers but I really want to just take full halberd squads so that's why I'm thinking the standard LR would be a good idea to bring some high strength attacks although they wouldn't help against ICs in squads - I'd just have to hope for a few hits getting through and activating force weapons. Not great but my Purifiers should all survive to get into assault at full health and there's not many units that wouldn't lose a significant number of men to 6 halberd wielding Purifiers on the charge.

As for my DW list, I currently only play at 1500 points - basically 5 termie squads, Belial and 3 Land Speeders. I'm getting the Land Raiders primarily for my GK army but intend to use them with my DW upto 2K. I don't mind dropping a squad and/or the speeders to accommodate the Land raiders but what I really, really want to try out is a squad of 5 Termies with Belial AND and Interrogator Chaplain in Termie armour assaulting out of a LR so I'd need 1 Crusader to do this, otherwise, it's a case of what would fit best. I'm kind of tempted to DW Assault three squads in on turn 1 then roll up two Land Raiders to support them just because it sounds like great fun - I'm open to ideas here anyway since my DW list is fixed atm at 1500 as stated above. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404567/3457120.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404567/3457120.page GMT Advice needed on Multi-LR list weapons loadout LRR/LRC have the frag launchers, which isn't a big deal for GK since everyone has frags but henchmen, but do the DA termies have frags? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404567/3457402.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404567/3457402.page GMT Advice needed on Multi-LR list weapons loadout

That is something to bear in mind, although, the majority of my squads have and will have TH/SS so are I1 regardless. I would put my Belial/Chaplain squad in the Crusader though if I decided to throw in some LC, though so thanks for reminding me. DA can't actually take a Redeemer, though :( ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404567/3459788.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404567/3459788.page GMT
