Other then the small landers GW makes, do you use or have rules for anything larger?
What is the largest Lander you have in your force?
How do you use it? Terrain or Formation?

Cant say I use one myself of that nature....I would have it as a special objective like a terrain feature (eg refinery, dam etc) though
I know L4 has a 25mm GZG Dropship is his mini collection - that a BIG mini!

Yes, that GZG Drop Ship is actually in 6mm ! And it is as big as a 40K scale Rhino !  We will use the E:A Planetfall rules and modify the weapon and cargo load, based on SM1 stats. IIRC 16 stands or 8 Land Raiders ! I've got a number of other smaller Drop Ships/Landers from GZG (3), G/W (2 of the old OOP Drop Ships + 1 E:A Lander) and 1 other from Jap Anima.
So that's 7 + an AMT M/Falcon for Chaos/Traitor. My buddy has the "Football" Lander for one of the Star Wars AMT kits as a Lander, too. For a good idea of an Drop Ship/Lander assault read the last chapter or so of Drake's "Hammer's Slammers - The Sharp End" ... "Obediah" is one big "mutha" bringing in about a Bn's worth of Mech/Armor ! Great narrative !

Hi Guys,
I also have the old 6mm resin GZG dropship, but my largest is the foam/resin Leopard Dropship that came out for Battletech... that thing is big!
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.
P.S.
I have plans to build some custom landers like Stormseer, but I'm going to complete my two New Year's resolution projects first.

HALT! Put down that Visa and back away slowly and there won't be any trouble.
