Editing Razorback Transport (section)

==Overview==
[[image:Razorback.jpg|250px|left|]]
Razorbacks are kind of an oddity. They have reduced transport ability (6 models compared to the 10 of a typical Rhino) and they cost a bit more (considerably more depending on the weapon option). They also lose out on firepoints (which don't exist any more anyway), and are a much more prominent target than a regular Rhino, since their heavy weapon basically announces their threat level to everyone on the battlefield.

As such, it's best not to think of the Razorback as a tank, but rather as a light but heavily-armed Infantry Fighting Vehicle that can also carry a few troops (because that's what it is). It is, perhaps, best-suited for use by Sternguard Veterans or Devastators, who can use the Razorback to quickly re-deploy and while adding the vehicle's firepower to their own.

Razorbacks by default come with a [[Twin-Linked]] [[Heavy Bolter]], but they can switch this out for a [[Twin-Linked]] [[Heavy Flamer]], a [[Twin-Linked]] [[Assault Cannon]], a [[Twin-Linked]] [[Lascannon]], or a combination weapon that integrates a Lascannon and a [[Twin-Linked]] [[Plasma Gun]]. Heavy Flamer Razorbacks can be useful for escorting Melta suicide squads, but the others are all better-used for supporting Devastators and the like. Tank-Busting squads benefit from a Lascannon Razorback, whereas Infantry squads often do well with just the basic Heavy Bolter Razorback. The Assault Cannon Razorback is a good compromise of power and strength. Please note that parts for the twin Heavy Flamer, twin Assault Cannon, and Lascannon/Plasmagun options are not included in the kit. However, kits for the Assault Cannon and LasPlas options can be obtained on [[Forgeworld]].

Regardless of which you use, make sure that you're careful with them - they cost notably more than a Rhino (or Chaos Rhino w/Havoc Launcher for that matter) and you can't simply use them as expendable transports like you can with their little [[METAL BOXES|metal boxxy]] brothers - they cost too much for that. Used carefully, however, they are a godsend to any force that likes it some heavy weapons.

Model wise, it's almost always recommended to buy the Razorback box over the Rhino box, as the Razorback kit comes with everything needed to make both vehicles for very little extra money. Since the turret mounting has a different hatch from the standard Rhino, it's fully possible to build both up and use the model as a Rhino or a Razorback without any modifications (including magnetizing) to the model.
