Sadly they get popped easily which is why you want to take multiples and have other juicier target for your enemy.

The pod is actually more resilient with AV12... But the pod doesn't provide any significant cover and usually past turn 3/4 they've fulfilled their purpose and become relatively useless. I wish they made the extra armor option on the rhino to make it AV12 front... Oh well...

I still like the rhino personally...

Hope this helps.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553180/6064972.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553180/6064972.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553180/6064996.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553180/6064996.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553180/6065277.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553180/6065277.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553180/6066275.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553180/6066275.page GMT tac squad without a rhino, unless i'm camping with a bonfire and marshmallows, pods have their use(s) but i swear by rhinos, just be sure to have some long range to try and get first blood first, and never take them in purge the alien ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553180/6066857.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553180/6066857.page GMT
Part of it might be my general aversion to Tactical squads, I use them when there isn't a better alternative as troops, and I usually outfit them in one of three ways:
- drop pod melta suicide duty, 5 man
- ranged (lascannon) and razorback, 5 man
- ranged (LC), and drop pod, 5 man (I use this one when I need something in a drop pod, like Sternguard to NOT come down turn 1, and as such need drop pods)

If I'm using Tac squads I'm doing my darnedest to minimize their points footprint while still making them useful, so no rhinos there. Scouts don't get rhinos. Sternguard I want in pods. Vanguard, Termies, and similar units more focused on assault I like in Stormravens or Land Raiders. I tend to end up using bikes as troops too through Khan or a BC, so no rhinos there.

Basically, I think rhinos are worth it IF you want to throw large numbers of tactical marines at your opponent, and are using special rules, such as IF Bolter Drill or UM Tactical Doctrine, to improve them, but otherwise I think their use is somewhat limited.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553180/6066926.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/553180/6066926.page GMT
