Land Raider Crusader

The most common variant of the Land Raider, the Land Raider Crusader is armed to provide short-ranged, anti-infantry support. The Crusader was originally developed by the Black Templars Chapter, but was eventually approved as an authorized design (It should be noted that this didn't stop many chapters from using them for some time beforehand. In games, other Chapters are restricted to fielding a single Crusader).

The Land Raider Crusader is armed with a hull-mounted twin-linked Assault Cannon and two sponson-mounted Hurricane Bolters (essentially six bolters linked together). It is also equipped with a pintle-mounted multi-melta to burn through armoured walls, and its front is studded with fragmentation launchers to assist the troops disembarking from its front ramp.

The removal of the lascannon generators has increased the carrying capacity of the Crusader by an additional 50% making the Crusader able to carry fifteen space marines or eight Terminators into the heat of battle.
