That being said, you could just deepstrike them and they'd probably be in position faster than they would be on foot. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/675709/8367735.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/675709/8367735.page GMT What are the main issues with hiding units behind a tank instead of being inside of it.
You would be hard pressed to successfully hide 5 terminators behind a rhino. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/675709/8367745.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/675709/8367745.page GMT What are the main issues with hiding units behind a tank instead of being inside of it.

The first issue is that they are slow. In a Land Raider you could move them 18¨ in a turn and then disembard 6¨ on the next turn, ready to charge. Plus, of course, the fact that they can be shot at outside of the tank, even if they can't be seen, by Barrage weapons and alot of Tau units as well as some others.

How would I be able to deep strike them? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/675709/8367797.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/675709/8367797.page GMT Re:What are the main issues with hiding units behind a tank instead of being inside of it. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/675709/8368004.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/675709/8368004.page GMT What are the main issues with hiding units behind a tank instead of being inside of it.

Terminator armour grants the Deep Strike rule. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/675709/8368157.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/675709/8368157.page GMT What are the main issues with hiding units behind a tank instead of being inside of it.
Its do able. even if they HP the tanks out they stay and BLOS (IIRC). if they explode then the guys behind are in trouble.

Also stay a little further back to avoid blasts. and hope the enemy doesn't have fliers or second story buildings or hills.

I have my allied Land Raider (with troops in it) moving up the field slowly with troops walking behind it for cover. It's often very effective.

LOS works both ways. If they can't shoot your terminators, your terminators can't shoot them (if they have guns, that is).

But yeah, hiding terminators behind something as small as a rhino isn't going to be effective for long, especially if there's terrain with any elevation.

Deep striking is a good option. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/675709/8368429.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/675709/8368429.page GMT Re:What are the main issues with hiding units behind a tank instead of being inside of it. Tac squad behind it.
As it has been said, it is easier with LR because they are big enough, but not everyone play with LR...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/675709/8368534.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/675709/8368534.page GMT
