Yeah, but thats 4+ against AP fire. AP fire doesnt even effect a land raider, but in 40K, a (very) lucky glancing hit from a bolter could still do damage (if im not mistaken - I've only played 40K once....)_________________ Cheers, Paul "TuffSkull" T. http://hobbybrush.com - My New Website, with thousands of painted Mini Pics :) http://hobbybrush.blogspot.com - My Hobby Blog TuffSkull's notepad- My Old Blog on Wargames Wiki.

That's true, but since a battlesuit is classified as infantry you can't shoot it with AT weapons, so the battlesuits are immune to heavy weapons. And then there are the small arms used in firefight that DO affect Land Raiders, although these may well be said to include meltaguns in abstracted form so the point is kind of moot.
but in 40K, a (very) lucky glancing hit from a bolter could still do damage (if im not mistaken - I've only played 40K once....)

Nope, a bolter has a strength of 4. When shooting at vehicles you roll a d6 and add the weapon's strength. The maximum result a bolter can have is 10, which is well short of the 14 required to get a glancing hit on a Land Raider.

Nah bolters can't glance land raiders in 40K. They could only glance vehicles with armour 10 if they rolled a 6, and 10 is the lowest armour value in WH40K.
However the majority of WH40K vehicles do have a rear armour value of 10, so if you can flank enemy vehciles you could potentially destroy them with bolters.
The land raider is one of the few vehicles that doesn't have a rear armour of 10 (LR is armour 14 all round).
In E:A the bolters (small arms) can still destroy land raiders in firefights.

Since I'm all for "rolling the zillion dice" I guess we must agree to disagree.
