I think the rhino is disgustingly undersized. I want to use land raiders as rhinos, and a modified baneblade as a land raider. Would you be ok with this?


Rule of cool. If you put in work to make it WYSIWYG for wargear and entry/exit points with some cool conversions to make it obvious, then sure.

If you simply swapped the models around, ehhhh, I'd maybe try it once, but likely not repeatedly.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731719/9474290.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731719/9474290.page GMT Re:Using land raiders as rhinos?

Except better Strength, toughness, save, wounds, leadership (lol) and Power of the Machine Spirit and can transport terminators, Jump Packs and Centurions, has better weapons, moves a little slower and double the close combat capability.

Yeah, totally the same because you can't disembark after moving anymore. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731719/9474347.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731719/9474347.page GMT Re:Using land raiders as rhinos?

Hence why i put "as a transport" in the sentence.
You seem to have missed the point.
Yes it has better firepower but as a transport it doesn't actually play any differently than any other. As in, previously with Rhinos you had to mindful of where you disembarked as piling out of the back or side hatches because any combat unit in there wasn't going to get a charge off. A Landraider, having an assault ramp didn't have that problem as you could charge out of it. This made a distinction between the two vehicles roles as an APC and an assault vehicle in their rules and as a result they were played differently on the tabletop.
I don't know why you're trying to make out like I have a massive issue with it, like I'm being salty, when I'm just pointing out a change in how the vehicles work now. The point being, maybe I didn't make it clear, the benefit of taking a larger vehicle (baneblade in this case) that with 3" disembark giving you a larger threat range with which you can potentially make make charges isn't such a big deal now you can charge out of everything.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731719/9474403.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731719/9474403.page GMT
