I just want to make sure im reading my codex correctly.
with a trooper squad and the rhinos. say i have 2 trooper squads of 5 and i want to put them in one rhino, i cant do this correct. i have to have 2 rhinos in order to carry these troops, correct?

thanks,
Jeremy

Yeah i believe you need a transport per squad. So you will need 2 transports for 2 squads of 5.

If you are going to run two-squads of 5 in rhinos, would it be worth it to upgrade to razorbacks?

Ok now that depends on what your gona do with the rhino or razorback. Dont see many people using Rhinos now days because they arnt very armoured or carry many guns, but that alone is enough to make them look unthreating enough for you opponet to over look them. Then you got the Razorback that has the same armour but can pack some very strong punch that is helpful when ou need a little extra to get your army going.

ok, here is another question. do you have to tell your oppent that you have troops in your transport before the game? cause if you do, thats dumb. in real life you dont know if a transport is packing or not.

anyway, just venting on that idea...

thanks.

When you place your army you have to say "Unit of SM's deploying in their rhino" as they are dedicated transports. Problem with not telling your opponent is say you have two rhino's and ones gets detsroyed, what (besides integrity) is actually stopping you from saying, "Oh the las gun unit was in the other rhino" when in fact they were not.

There are some things that need game rules that diverge from reality. We do not had our enemies a listing of every troop, their armaments, take turns placing our units one at a time, nor make sure we both have (point wise) equal armies.
