Pretty much explains everything useful in the codex in a mercifully condensed format. I wish I would have found this when I was just getting started. Thanks for putting in the effort to make the game better for all of us. EXCELLENT write up. Pretty much explains everything useful in the codex in a mercifully condensed format.

That is a 20% increase in passenger capacity. All things being equal, the LRC should have a 20% increase to its capacity too, to maintain the status quo with the basic Land Raider model. That was what we meant in the statement you quoted. @Dong:

The Crusader variant can carry 16 models if i'm not mistaken. “And no, the increased capacity in the basic Land Raider did not translate into increased capacity for the Crusader variant.”

The Crusader variant can carry 16 models if i’m not mistaken.

A break test being taken at the end of an assault that has been lost and a regroup test being taken at the beginning of the turn by a unit that has fallen back due to failing a break test in the previous turn. The "No Retreat!" rule only applies is models with ATSNKF are caught by a sweeping advance. In this case instead of being wiped out they regroup immediately and continue the fight that turn using the "No Retreat!" rule. Maybe I'm just misreading your interpretation of the rule is all.

ATSKNF clearly states that "Space Marines automatically pass tests to regroup, and can take such tests even if the squad has been reduced to less than half strength by casualties, though all other criteria apply." The wording may have changed compared to the last edition of the codex, but we believe they still serve very much the same function. I am looking at the Codex right now.

The "No Retreat!" rule only applies if a unit with ATSKNF is caught in a Sweeping Advance now. Thought I’d point out that ATSKNF no longer grants the auto pass for break tests.
