The offensive power of these two units at long range is the same. The tactical flexibility of the Rhino-mounted unit is, in my opinion, greater than the squad in the Razorback.<br /><br />As you alluded in the article, I think the best option is a mixture of the two transports. Some Razorbacks for cheap fire support and scoring units, and some Rhinos for some early-game fire support with beefier scoring units inside.Wienashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16756262005166254202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5655986553938534450.post-79674564688132703982010-10-28T12:42:56.354-04:002010-10-28T12:42:56.354-04:00I think the Rhino is a staple, and the Razorback d...I think the Rhino is a staple, and the Razorback depends more on your tactics.<br /><br />I always thought the the idea of the combat-squad, with the assault half taking to the tank, was pretty cool. Plus, you still get that heavy weapon blasting into the enemy from afar.<br /><br />And the thought about the IC is very true - that power character can make all the difference.<br /><br />The things the Rhino has going for it:<br />Cost. It's cheaper, and therefor easier to saturate the field of fire.<br /><br />It's a better transport. This is a fact. And by this, I mean it is, in truth, better at getting a squad from point A to point B. Why is this?<br />Firstly, you're not giving up anything by moving 12". So you can't fire a storm bolter. Is that really a consideration when you're moving your troops about the field? Compared to losing, at least, a twin-linked heavy bolter round, it's negligible.<br />Being able to self repair and the like, however unlikely, is a nice perk. And adds to the "I will get you there" feel of the box.<br /><br />The Razorback is more tactical, I would say. It allows you the option of splitting your group, adding fire, and giving you more than just wheels. <br /><br />Note that I'm not saying either is better or worse than the other overall, it just matters on your style and list, as with all things.<br /><br />And to speak on tactics - it's very hard to say something is always a bad choice. There are some things out there, but they're rare. Interwebs powerlists may be a source for inspiration, but shouldn't be taken as cannon. So much is meta, personal style, etc. Mainly personal style. If you can make something work, then it works. Period. <br /><br />People tell me that my Nid list is bad. But I win with it.

The Razorback almost always has access to some manner of impressive firepower at the 6" speed (12" if you're willing to sparkle).Corvus Sanguinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07491218531480134305noreply@blogger.com
