Grey Knights Land Raider Crusader, sans the typical pintle-mounted Multi-Melta

The Grey Knight Land Raider Crusader is a rare variant of Grey Knights Land Raider based upon the standard Land Raider Crusader of the Space Marine Chapters^[1] designed to facilitate line-breaking infantry assaults.^[2] The extra space provided by removing the Godhammer-pattern Lascannons provides much more space for Grey Knights Terminators, which is greatly appreciated as they attempt to go about their battle preparation without colliding with others. They are known to have received at least one Crusader after the Scharnel Incident.^[1]

Generally speaking, the Grey Knights make extensive use of teleportation or airborne deployment via Stormraven Gunship but when denied these due to warp disturbances, atmospheric disturbances, or hostile environment will rely on assault vehicles such as the Land Raider Crusader.^[4]

A favoured tactic of the First Brotherhood when tasked with overrunning a fortified position is to batter their way through with several Land Raider Crusaders, before disembarking through the front access hatch with weapons blazing.^[3]

Armament

A Grey Knights Crusader is armed with two Hurricane-pattern bolters, one twin-linked Assault Cannon and (typically) one pintle-mounted Multi-melta. It also carries Frag Assault Launchers, Extra Armour and can be upgraded with Blessed, Dozer Blade, a Hunter-killer Missile, a Pintle-mounted Storm Bolter, Psycannon Bolts, Sacred Hull, Searchlight and Smoke Launchers.^[1]
