looking at the landraider, it's always struck me as rather stupid that the side hatches are mounted right in front of the sponson weapons. your assault troops either risk getting shot on the way out the door or foul line of sight for the landraider's weapons as they charge out. either way, suboptimal and something you'd think space marines would be a bit more clever about.

with that in mind, if I were to assemble the raider such that the weapon sponsors were in the front-most doorways and the side hatches were in the rear-most, would I run into modeling for advantage issues? I don't think it changes the firing arc in any appreciable way, but it would move the guns forward a couple inches, so a case could be made over weapon range shenanigans. would this be a problem in a typical tournament setting?

(with apologies to the guy whose image I googled)

You'd have to swivel the lasguns just to open the doors!

That being said, the box art for the Land Raiders I own (attached, not sure if it's still current) shows a pretty good argument that putting them forward is not MFA.

In a combat situation, they would generally be using the assault ramp anyway. I've always assumed the side doors are just there for convenience, rather than for quick egress.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/528507/5644986.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/528507/5644986.page GMT landraider assembly and modeling for advantage LCs in the back, but the hurricanes and flamers up front. I think having the godhammers forward makes it a little front heavy.

In earlier editions, the instructions said you could use either, so if anyone give you flack, just ignore them.

Here is a pic from WD 245 where they introduce the new kit:

The Land Raider has existed in the game since Rogue Trader. The current model though has only been around since 3rd edition.

And GW did 'chime in with an answer'... the original building instructions had it as optional.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/528507/5645595.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/528507/5645595.page GMT landraider assembly and modeling for advantage LCs fixed in only the front position, no options. While my old LR took a melta hit on the back shelf of my car on a summer day, you can see that the LCs should be mounted front.
