Seems risky just sitting there waiting to be popped apart.
Has anyone used this tactic and had success?

I use it with great effect I play space wolf´s. if the opponent destroys the rhino well just say space marine and take your 3+ save an 1 or 2 dies and your ready to kill him next round if he assaults I counter attacks an rip him a new one. So it’s a win win .

If he surrounds the rhino you can fire the storm bolter on the rhino and the rhino have 2 firing points it is not much but if he won’t break the rhino he can’t kill your marines

nope no air con
power armour proberbly has AC
and your right how do 10 guys in power armour fit in a rhino

Yeah, the rhino could also pop smoke if the unit has a weapon that could destroy it, and in CC since it moved 12 inches it would take a 6+ to hit it. If you do this with a few rhinos, it works even better. Like was stated earlier.. Rhino rush. It was a great tactic in fourth with the Plague Marines.

You can not pivot and assault out of it.

And i know there just ultramarines, but dont manhandel those mini’s like that, there painted up (X_x)

Thank you for the info, much appreciated.
sounds like a goodly tactic.
forgot to ask if smoke would help, thanks Battlebrother!

It’s risky but I’ve seen people use this tactic to AMAZING effect.

On a side note, what ever happened to John? I miss his painting videos, and his T-shirts, lol 🙂

I always use this with my Worldeaters, if you make sure that one side door is facing the enemy, the other away from them and you park far enough away to avoid being surrounded then its all good. If they stay where they are, get out the nearest door and assault. If they come close and try to hit the vehicle they block the closest door so you just get out the other side. If the vehicle is explodes (1/6 or 1/3 with AP1) then you may lose a couple of guys, which is hardly traumatic when starting with 8… Read more »

The trick is the distance and positioning. What you want to do, because you’ll be sitting still for a turn, is ideally drive up, turn exactly sideways, and stop exactly far enough away to prevent popping.. e.g. against CC you want to be 12.1 to 14 inches away, so that you are too far to be assaulted or surrounded, but close enough for you to assault even if they don’t move towards you. of course a smart player will move back 3 inches, especially if they have some other shooty options but hey thems the breaks.

sorry, 12.1 to 15 inches (because of size of base 🙂

yep good tactic darrell

I’ve used this tactic with excellent results using Blood Angels. The only other advice I got give is to pop smoke while you’re guys hang tight.

having two Rhinos over there you could tank shock with other one. force the enemy to move away AFTER you moved 6″ and disembarked your guys in front of them. next turn tank shocking Rhinos goes away and you can easily assault them. or get assaulted if the enemy decides to go around the tank shocking Rhino and assault you instead 😀 risky tactic but good to remember and to use at certain situations. the other thing you could do with two Rhinos is to keep a 2″ gap between them and put Rhinos in V formation pointing at the… Read more »
