If we compare the LR Crusader (with no Multi-Melta,) to the Sicaran Punisher with heavy-bolter sponsons: both have a large chain-gun style infantry killer, and both have a weight of bolter fire (x3 heavy bolters on the Sicaran, x2 hurricane bolters on the crusader). Both tend to die pretty quick to focused fire). They are durable, sure, but so is the Sicaran (at least: comparably so. But let's talk about that last one a second: does anyone reliably use LR's as transports anymore? I mean, at least in 8th, they were big ol fire magnets anyway, and by putting even MORE points into them you essentially just made them an even more irresistible target. I also know that you have to give up precious command points to use the Sicarans and that Sicaran's are not in any way transports and so fill a different battlefield role. I know, I know: the LR model is a bit bigger (and, I think, a little shorter too) so it's certainly not perfect. Would my land raiders make really good proxies for Sicaran Battle Tanks? Then I started to look at the similarities in model size, armament, ect. So, I was looking over Battlescribe recently and I started to compare them to the new rules for Sicaran Battle Tanks. Don't get me wrong: there are worse units out there (especially with the recent points drop to LR's) but they still just aren't that great for what they do. but what ISN'T so rad: land raiders themselves are just not that great. These days I actually own two (a standard and a crusader) and that is rad from a collector/fanboy perspective. It doesn't help that I have wanted to paint/own/play with them since I first got into the hobby as a kid.

Hey everyone, it's time to talk about Land Raiders again:
