Land Speeder

"Land Speeder ready for battle."

The Space Marine Chapter's main reconnaissance and rapid response vehicle. Fast and with jump capability to negotiate impassable terrain, the Land Speeder can provide anti-personnel firepower anywhere on the battlefield at a moment's notice.

Tactics

Land Speeders serve one purpose: fast, mobile, and cheap anti-infantry fire. In large numbers, they can shred up infantry like nobody's business. But why would you build lots of them? The major drawback of Land Speeders is the short time in which they are useful. With their vehicle low armor, they will die very quickly once your opponent gets significant anti-vehicular forces on the field (or even just very heavy anti-infantry). The best way to use Land Speeders is to rapidly advance to tier 2 and attack your enemy with masses of them before they have any counter. Against melee troops constantly back away from them and resume firing. They can also be used to fill the remaining cap left over by more powerful vehicles.
