Only one way to find out" attitude to the situation - the Imperium has far more material to throw at something and see if it works. The Land Raider is also a far more durable platform to attempt such a feat with than a Falcon.<br /><br />Imagine the scene...<br /><br />Thunderhawk swoops low, guns blazing down the valley, and a small object drops from below. It's stumpy legs hit the ground running... but not fast enough, as it barrel rolls into a mountainside like a bug on a windscreen.<br /><br />Overlooking the valley, several Blood Angel Space marines wince in sympathetic pain.

It's hilarious to me to think Space Marines are dropping huge tanks onto the battlefield but the Eldar,with all their sophisticated technology, can't manage the same thing. Oh well... I guess we can always hope that will be something addressed next time the Codex is updated.Papa JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443485240104662387noreply@blogger.com
