Editing Land Speeder (section)

==On the Tabletop==
Crunch-wise the Land Speeder is a fast skimmer made of wet cardboard. With T6 and only 5 wounds you'd better keep it far away from the enemy's weapons, or else deep strike it to make a suicide run. For the first method you should kit it with a Typhoon ML and either a [[Heavy Bolter]] or a [[Multi-melta]], while for the latter you can choose a combination between [[Multi-melta]] and [[Heavy Flamer]].
	
In a Gladius it can fill the Fast Attack role (if for some reason you don't want to take the almighty Bike Squad) quite cheaply. Give it a Heavy Flamer, keep it in cover the entire game then on the last turn zip it halfway across the board to capture or contest an objective (remember it has ObSec from the Gladius).

A couple of patterns stand out: the Land Speeder Storm can carry a half-squad of [[Space Marine Scouts]], while the Land Speeder Tempest is fully-enclosed and more armored. The Dark Angels also employ their own versions of the Land Speeder, which have larger thrusters, a large turret on top, and a small gun cage on the front end. Which essentially makes it a flying tank destroyer or [[Pickup Trucks | technical truck]], a light and fast all terrain vehicle that punches well above its weight class.
