TheOneTrueZon Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) From recent NOVA news: "We are going to trial some new rules to allow you to design your very own Land Raider variants and field these behemoths on the battlefields of the 41st Millennium." https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/08/31/breaking-news-studio-preview-from-the-nova-open/ Edited August 31, 2017 by Lord Thørn Removed formatting Lustrati 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lustrati Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) "option 1, extended transport to carry Primaris Marines" Land Raiders start selling again. Edit: This seems a little bit fun and adds a bit of customization to the SM again where as before the codex relied on "pieces in the box" But we will have to wait and see what exactly the rules are and what limitations there are Edited August 31, 2017 by Lustrati Spyros 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cryptix Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Land Raiders are the test for the new vehicle design rules, others will probably be coming but for now this is the beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal_Roujakis Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Quad-Assault Cannons on both sides, Twin-GravCannons with Grav Amp for the main hull weapons and a transport capacity of 12... call it the Land Raider Pulverizer or Twin-Linked Plasma Cannons on both sides, with additional Plasma Cannon on the other pair of Doors, and plasma Annihilator for the main Hull Weapon, and no transport capacity... call it Land Raider Don't-Roll-A-One or Land Raider with Twin Heavy Bolters for the main hull weapon... nothing else, but can upgrade side-sponsons to your choice, can upgrade Hull weapon to your choice, starts out with 20 Transport capacity and ability to transport Primaris, then reduces accordingly depending on number of weapons including not letting Primaris in... call it Land Raider... or Land Raider with Thunderfire Cannons for side sponson and Cyclone Missile Launcher for the main hull weapon... no transport capacity... call it Land Raider Cyclonus... and finally Land Raider with Quad Autocannons for side sponson... Punisher Rotary Cannon for primary hull weapon... no transport capacity... Land Raider Punisher... pick your poison ;) roryokane 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bjorn Firewalker Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Me: "I need long-range firepower, AND more high-Toughness transports- but I don't have enough points for both. Should I use these points on two Land Raiders, or one Baneblade?" TheOneTrueZon: "Why not create a Land Raider-Baneblade hybrid that can fulfill all your needs?" Me: "That's crazy- the kind of crazy any competent Techmarine will go for. Let's draw up some blueprints."

redmapa Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I wonder if they'll sell bits to make your own stuff, personally I will be making a main battle tank and use the Repulsor model for the conversion. Something like Twin-Las sponsons and a plasma cannon or something with missiles! GUNS, WE NEED TO PUT ALL THE GUNS IN THIS THING!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciler Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 You've got to be amazed at the lack of consistency in their actions. "We're removing options from units when there isn't a model for them" but then grand master on nemesis, and now potentially DIY landraider sponsons... On a side note, I like Roujakis' idea of starting with a "bare" land raider with no sponson weapons and 20 infantry capacity. Full crusader squad anyone ?

On a side note, I like Roujakis' idea of starting with a "bare" land raider with no sponson weapons and 20 infantry capacity. Full crusader squad anyone ? To be fair, I don't think GM on Nemesis really requires bits that aren't already in the kit, just a distinguishing paint job; and the DIY landraider is stated to be an open play only thing for the time being, where open play was already sandbox mode for 40K. TheOneTrueZon, that tank doesn't have NEARLY enough dakka; honestly, if a tank doesn't look like a hedgehog with gun barrels for quills, it's under-gunned, and underwhelming.

Lustrati Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 We will certainly have to start a competition of a challange for this, it would be fun and I would so be on it. month challange: Build a land raider Rule 1: have to have "in-progress" pics Rule 2: can not have anything not allowed by the rules Rule 3: must be painted by finish I would so happily spend the $$ and do this just for some fun :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
