question about multiple av14

[kenji10000]

Hello all,

My Buddy and I were talking the other night how our local meta was mainly str6 or 7 for anti tank weaPons so he had an idea: bringing multiple landraiders as peOple would have a hard time dealing with them.

I'm wondering how viable a list with 3 land raiders would be and which variant etc. I was leaning toward 2 redeemers and a standard. He also mentioned allying with dark angels for the power field generator to make them even harder to kill. We typically play 1850 or 2k, any advice will be appreciated!thanks for reading

Depends on how hard you want to smash the opponent. OS Landraiders are a joke. Nevermind just Dark Angels, you want to be nasty? Make it an Iron Hands Landraider (free IWND,) then ally in an some DA's to get that PFG. Now you have AV14 4++ with IWND.. Stick em in a Dark Angels and Venerable is OK, but garbage in comparison to IWND with 4HP.

Throw some centurions in one with an Angels Libby and watch the Cheddar fly, while leaving the other with 2 troops either Deathwing or BA or BT. (Still think cents are the nastiest unit in the game, ignoring Armour, T and AV.)

If this was a friend playing this list I would still probably "HAMMER SMASH" one of his models, just for being a deusch. Imperium gets OS Landraiders and Ravens.. Tyranids get RIPPERS! WOOOOO

I typically enjoy the first run through of a thrashing. My opponent gets to see how "kneecapped" my army can typically be and how silly the rules he wanted to try are. They typically shut up and quite giving me "advice" once they realize how pigeonholed our units really are.

Oh man I hadn't even considered Iron hands...

For centurions were you thinking the choppy kind? He is definitely a friend but the list is for tournament considerations only. We know its not for everyday use lol.

Do you have tips on which variant will be the most effective?

[gigasnail]

choppy cents aren't good. the ones with grav cannons and either ML or hurricane bolters are decidedly unpleasant. at least centstar got somewhat reigned in, as a single libby doesn't give you a large WC pool to pull from.

Thanks Giga, question: what is the Libby for? I'm assuming Divination powers?

[gigasnail]

you took tigirius or severin lolth (FW) for divination.

Also for Gate to pop around the board.
(this no longer works....)

[gigasnail]

lol, it works for GK though. GK with SM allies, put the GK psyker in with your cent unit, port around merrily, blasting stuff to your heart's content.

I was thinking: If running DA for the power field, I could run the banner of devastation with LR Crusaders, 12 bolter shots per sponson isn't too terrible. Thoughts?

[gigasnail]

Can't rember if the bolter banner works with hurricane bolters or not.

It does
