I also began to embrace the simple fact that this was not a real object. If you’re not sure where something fits, try the logical options. However, I realized that like a Gunpla, it’s almost impossible to assemble this thing wrong. But the instructions are pretty much “stick this generally here”. Coming from an aircraft background, I was looking for color call outs and detailed shots of assembly. The primary drawback I saw to the kit was what seemed like an extraordinary dearth of instructions. I started by building just the interior sections, and painting them in various Citadel colors. I did not have any of the Citadel primer, but I did spray it chaotically, so hopefully that counts. Not Bandai fit, but darn close.įirst, everything was primed with Badger’s Stynylrez Black Primer. It’s not overly complicated, the parts count is in the “very low” range, and it all just fit. However the numbers shake out, I can say I really, really, REALLY enjoyed putting this vehicle together. I never was very good at the maths though, so I may be wrong on the numbers anyway. So I can’t decide if I’m halfway complete, using a standard of weight and volume, or if I should go strictly by the elements of the kit, at which point I’d only be 1/7th complete. The Land Speeder Storm is completed, but the figures are simply primed, waiting for paint. The kit consists of the vehicle, and six figures.

When the Land Speeder is destroyed, there is a 25% chance that any units within the area of effect will be sent flying (30-40 force) and take 5 morale damage.

At full charge the Landspeeder will have two jumps available, requiring 90 s to recharge from empty. The Land Speeder jumps over any obstacles and flies directly to the targeted terrain. They can also be used to fill the remaining cap left over by more powerful vehicles. Against melee troops constantly back away from them and resume firing.

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. 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). But why would you build lots of them? The major drawback of Land Speeders is the short time in which they are useful. In large numbers, they can shred up infantry like nobody's business. Land Speeders serve one purpose: fast, mobile, and cheap anti-infantry fire. 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.
