Composition:

Drop pod /w locator beacon (45)

Land speeder vengeance (140)
1x3 land speeder (150)

Lsv + land speeders
When taking this dataslate the land speeder vengeance and the land speeders are counted as a whole unit. The squad gains the "look out sir" special ability (the land speeder vengeance is the sunit leader). May take an additional 3 land speeders for 50 pts per speeder. Land speeders may upgrade as they normally would, the lsv may upgrade the heavy bolter to an assault cannon for free.

Tactics:

What we have here is a Drop pod armed with a beacon.
After it arrives the fun begins as this massive battleship of weaponry complete with a plasma storm battery arrives via deepstrike.

When they arrive the vengeance has its flimsy nature fixed as now it can have up to 12 ablative hull points. This dataslate also makes the assault cannon a worthwhile upgrade to the vengeance adding to yoir firepower.

It has an Achilles heel naturally and that's the drop pod. Slaying it forces deepstrike scatter unless you have other units with a teleport homer or a locator beacon. And speeders aren't exactly durable so shedding those hull points to get at the vengeance isn't impossible. And due to the way cc works you can now kill the vengeance outright in cc and possibly take down another speeder with it.

And since this is a dataslate they don't take up slots on the force org chart.
