Rhino Transport

"Guide, guard, transport."

The crews of the Rhino Transports have a sacred duty to transport Sisters of Battle units directly to the frontline. This heavily armored vehicle can be equipped with Laud Hailers, spreading the gospel of the Imperium through heavily amplified speakers across the battlefield. In addition, the Rhino is equipped with a Storm Bolter capable of combating Infantry units foolish enough to get in the way.

Tactics

In Tier 2 the Rhino Transport has three main uses: dropping off troops near long range infantry, providing support fire from behind allied lines, and keeping morale high with Laud Hailers. Rhino Transports may also be used to shuttle infantry from your base to the battlefield, but their vehicle cap cost demands that they make more contributions than just this. After Rhino Transports have dropped off their passengers and made use of Laud Hailers, make a judgment call if it is more beneficial to make use of their weaponry or to bring up new troops. In Tier 3 and beyond Rhino Transports are best used for Sister Repentia Squads. Though each squad takes up both spots in a Rhino Transport, their lack of a ranged attack necessitates the ability to close quickly and catch retreating enemies. The Rhino Transports also help Sister Repentia Squads keep up with the faster melee units, Penitent Engines and the Living Saint.
