I've always thought it would make more sense for the scout tier marines to also be the drivers/pilots. Most of the reaction time/reflexes, since that's the most common reason I've seen stated for marine pilots, without having to sacrifice a full power armored battle brother.
It's almost certainly never worth it. The benefit you get from faster reflexes etc. as a marine versus the chapter having serfs pilot their vehicles won't be more significant than the benefit you get from having an extra scout marine on the field. A scout marine would no doubt be better, but not THAT much better.
In some of the lore the space Marines dismount the land speeder. Occasionally returning to it. It's still a couple of space Marines with bolt rifles. Maybe one guy keeps a chain sword in the cargo compartment.
Or one of each, I imagine pilots have a more integrated learning structure. Having a neophyte and initiate working together would be a great template for teaching new pilots
It’s explained in a few books as to why they are used to pilot vehicles, it’s largely because of reaction time and durability. They can survive otherwise mortal wounds, thus potential saving the crew. I also doubt space marines would be willing to trust their lives to a human in combat over their bother astartes.
It's still redundant. You can just augment a chapter serf via Mechanicus implants to fly/pilot at an accelerated rate, without sacrificing a Space Marine that is better used elsewhere. if the serf gets blown up, who gives a shit.
1:25 Terminal velocity isn't a constant; it has to take into account an objects mass, surface area, drag coefficient, the density of the medium through which it passes and the strength of the gravitational field. 120mph is about right for a skydiver, not for several tons of metal.
Also terminal velocity is the maximum speed of something in free fall. Jay misinterpreted the quote from the Codex. Of course land speeders can go faster.
@@skazkatzroy3444 you evidently, his maths are wrong he call the model by a different name and can’t call the weapon the right designation. Yet his opinion counts? Nah he’s just soft, the land speeder is fine, at best it should be a scout model and manned by scout marines rather than full blown space marines in full armour, easy fix.
It's why I like the Storm being piloted by scouts, in my headcannon it flies in killteams, supplies, and medevacs muhreens. It feels like a "support" vehicle.
I actually like the boxy look of imperial flyers. I imagine their creed to be: 'If you're worried about aerodynamics your thrusters aren't strong enough.'
I have an original land speeder! Lead parts, mmm delicious. It looks SO ridiculous now, two tiny Beakies sitting right out front with no hull whatsoever! It came in a three-set with the squat mole mortar and imperial guard tarantula (w/ two tasty las-cannons!) Wish I had my copy of Rogue Trader still. Yup I'm old. Greetings from southwestern Ontario!
Due to my refusing to drop 40K second edition right up until the 8th edition I was using an Imperial Guard landspeeder (metal) in my Genestealer Cult - the first printings of the 2nd ed Codex Tyranids included this option, but it mysteriously vanished from later printings... Now I shall probably just proxy it as a ridgerunner.
I mean, i'll just say that my storm speeders are crewed by semi-failed aspirants, only somewhat deformed chapter thralls who, while technically failing the whole becoming a marine step, still received a good few of the augmentations and thus, enhanced reaction times. Also one of them could be deformed enough to just not have the best hearing, and he's the guy in the turret.
Jay makes great content, so we forgive him his small mistakes. I mean... it's not like he's woefully misinforming the whole internet about 40k lore like Bricky, who is doing it for the funnies, but still.
Almost like you had no clearance between your subjects in that run-on sentence my dude. Let me fix that for you by inserting commas, an oxford comma, adding two words, and changing one other word: "I love landspeeders, they're better designed than most of the bikes, outriders, and the ATV, *which* are *all* atrocious, *having* zero ground clearance."
Using the crashing scene from Pariah Nexus as an example, Space Marines would pilot their own vehicles because they would be able to think rationally and perform their duties under extreme circumstances that would have a normal trooper passed-out or in a state of shock. Having regular troops serve as pilots would likely be disadvantageous because they would be unable to perform their duties and the Marines would have to take over anyways, saves an extra step by having them be pilots from the get go.
I love landspeeders, especially their clunky 80's retro futuristic design that just looks like a box falling apart. It shows how far the imperium's technology has fallen
I really like these thoughts on models with some lore to back them up, and then sometimes reworking the models. That space marine sticking out the top is Captain Tinnitus
In my old Space wolves army, as their lore was that they were lost in a far away planet out of supplies, their land speeder was modified to work on wheels (grav engines, as you said, are difficult to mantain). It was a super easy conversion and worked pretty well!
Oh man that old intro music! That's a good nostalgia hit of dopamine right there... I found this channel back in 2014 or 2015, when I was getting back into mini painting after a looooong hiatus, and I still occasionally look up those old videos when I need basing help.
In almost 25 years of playing I have NEVER met anyone who dislikes the Land Speeder. In light of this, I must believe your opinion a slanderous one and therefore I'm driven to extremes. A curse upon your livestock, sir. A curse upon you, a curse upon your cow and a curse upon your goat. I am aghast.
This is why I love watching your videos Jay, you don't just say "This is bad", you identify what you don't like about the mini etc. and offer a nice alternative solution to make improvements.
I always thought a landspeeder fills the role of a low flying attack helicopter. They're fast, lightly armored and can hit tanks from above. As to why astartes fly them...maybe to fly as fast and low as possible? Good reflexes help not getting hit by flak. It also doesn't hurt that they probably have a higher G-force ceiling. (Tolerate G's ? Idk how to write that...)
@@Scarletraven87 well i mean, if you’d put a regular guard up there you would need to put more armor on the speeder itself to protect the guy from bullets etc. because as they are now the pilots are pretty exposed
@@mrclean29 Protecting the whole thing with an external shell weights less than protecting all its components (pilot, engine, etc) singularly Because protecting single components is like adding wrinkles to an otherwise smooth skin. You increase the total surface.
I also have a love/hate with my speeders. I attempted to kitbash a homemade Tempest years ago, didn’t work out, so he’s a piece of crashed terrain now. I don’t like painting the old style flyer stands so I leave them clear. The newer ones just get the base replaced and I use brass rod to build a scenic base. Great work as always, keep it up!
I would honestly love if there were some chapter serf minis included in the ten men boxes, or if there were basically two options for each ten men box, one with serfs and one without. Just some servitors and/or normal humans working alongside the Space Marines, carrying weapons or ammunition crates, cleaning swords, maybe holding a Lieutenant's helmet or some religious imagery, like the serfs in the Grimaldus and Retinue box. It would bring some neat variety into the Space Marines armies.
I think the basic 3rd edition land speeder is one of my favorite models. An armored hover car tearing through the battlefield at high speeds with awesome weaponry. Imagine the face on the pilot of an Eldar viper as one of these appears along side as the multi melta levels. They were fun to use in game and when deep striking 4 in with 2 multi meltas on each. At least back in 7th.
Jay you should put up one of those magnetic dry-erase white boards on one of your hobby room walls. I put all my magnetized weapon options on it instead of buried in my bits boxes. It looks super impressive and you can even write some shit like "THE ARMORY" on the top on dry-erase.
Your addition of the larger cannon invokes to me the cannon on the A-10. It's imposing and the sound of it invokes fear in the enemy and cheers from allies.
Love the old model, clunky but effective... On a strategy point of view, having a way to carry heavy weaponry across physical obstacles is a must. offering heavy supresing fire to cover your asault marines werever they go is almost essential.... Most moder army use fast travel light armored vehicle, they tend to yeild lots of firepower to cover infantry an disable small fortifications. a good example is the german wiesel... In the wole lore of 40k , in witch many thing have gone wrong in the last decade, land speeders are one of the most tacticaly and lorewise realist concept. The model is so iconic of old space marine logic : ugly but fonctionnal. Even the armor is logic, lorewise, if you shot one down, you could got up to 4 angry overpowered warriors to deal with , it might even be behind your line...
These turned out great! I personally really like the look of land speeders, and am totally OK with the pilots being marines in full armour, because they feel like the marines could jump out and join the battle on-foot at any time. They're less like a vehicle crew, and it's more like a light transport that happens to have guns on it. Like a really fast combat scooter. The third gunner dude on the new ones looks RIDICULOUS though, and is the thing that's stopped me picking one up. If I ever get one I'd like to kitbash it so there's a sensor array or something else there.
I think most (almost all) vehicles look ridiculous in 40K. It's one of the reasons I never got into playing or collecting complete armies, just grabbing the odd mini for painting an collecting. I think what could make the speeders look a little better would be to replace at least one Space Marine with a 28mm vehicle driver model from something like Bolt Action. They could be the pilot and then the Space Marine adds the firepower. It'd have the added advantage of selling the Space Marine as a 10 foot tall super soldier.
Most of the vehicles in 40k look ridiculous next to miniatures for the same reason Star Wars action figure vehicles look ridiculous next to your figures: the scale is squished, and not consistently across the model. Think about how a Leman Russ battle tank is depicted in artwork vs how it looks on the table. The other problem most vehicles face is that everything else in the army is mounted on a base, and many vehicles are not, so there is a visual consistency missing there as well.
Makes sense for space marines to drive land speeders. But I dont think they drive the tanks and most vehicles. They have a lot of supporting humans and techpriests. They are probably doing the driving.
I started reading Horus Heresy books recently and it is stated that a lot of vehicules like Stormbirds and Thunderhawks were piloted by servitors. On the other hand as far as I know the marines piloting aircraft or driving tanks do not count to the Codex 10x100 marines requiement so maybe this is a way to bypass the restriction.
You skipped how you made the wax seal on the purity seals! Those models look sick as hell though. Love the skeleton of the heretics added on, those look awesome.
The ziplock drug baggies are awesome for bitz. Have a baggie for each unique part. Then further organized into ziplock sandwich/medium storage bags for arms, weapons, heads, etc... and then further again in either 2L or 6L bins (got mine at Canadian Superstore) by faction+infantry and faction+vehicles. As much fun as it is to dig for that perfect bit, meticulous organization is extremely satisfying and so much more time efficient.
The land speeder storm is great. I had a lot of fun dropping off scouts to melta bomb things. Space marine vehicles should really just be piloted by scouts and the serfs that fail to make the grade.
I think those models are cool. It has that 90s action figure vibe. Like you know that in the basic kit you just get the space marine action figure but you have to buy his land speeder separately. :Dd Plus of course lorewise it would make sense for them to wear their armour while driving that as the thing has barely any hull coverage, also remember that Tony Stark does not have to drive a land speeder because his suit can fly.
I will say, I also think the landspeeder looks derpy. That being said, even in Soul Hunter, Septimus, the human pilot, is often described as slow and unable to pilot the thunderhawk as well as a space marine. It's the same argument for every Astartes unit, while you could have humans for any of the roles (pilot, tech marines, apothecaries, etc), they wouldn't be quite as capable.
I've always wanted to see chapter serfs on the battlefield taking care of stuff like driving vehicles that aren't bikes or something. I've also always wanted to see wavy clear plastic mounts for these, to look like distorted air underneath it.
You forgot everyone's favorite, the scout minivan! You can now fit your entire family in a land speeder! When I came back to this game and saw that it had me wondering if it had removeable or stowable seats.
The Storm was mentioned, but there's two missed; the Tempest, The DA Vengence. The Stormwolf, Stormtalon and Stormraven also suffer from the 'Flying Brick' look, and either look like a shrunk Thunderhawk, or a kid playing with Lego....
I think lore wise the reason the space marines crew the speeder is because compared to humans they have enhanced reflexes, reactions and therefore can pilot something driving so fast without the slow response time of us humans lol As for having the 2nd being a gunner, I'd assume again that marines have a enhanced ability with accuracy and this likely helps when moving 100+mph lol Awesome video dude, really enjoyed the history lesson :)
I think for lore reasons, it’s really good that you brought up Soul Hunter, because Septimus does pilot the Thunderhawk, and everyone is pissed at him and talos for it, I find them driving their own vehicles weird as well, but it seems like an ego thing. Like they don’t see humans as good enough to drive their stuff, even if that makes them as soldiers less effective.
Well, the Land speeder dpes make some sense lore-wise at least While fighting on the ground, it is sometimes necessary to have heavy weapons at a shortest time possible from a flank or rear position to where your main offence/defence takes place, for example behind an enemy tank assault, tearing it apart from behind and getting away just as fast. The pilot has to be a space marine for a number of reasons. One-they can be easily replaced in combat in case the pilot is wounded (as space marines cannot have their own offensive human troops, only navy and PDF). Two-you can sacrifice pilot protection for a degree of structural integrity of the vehicle itself without increasing the vehicle's mass, as the power armor gives a decent protection from small arms and light artillery. Third-reaction and targeting. Space marines have targeting matrixes integrated into their helmets, which makes them able to both pilot at great speeds without much risk and target incredibly quickly. All in all-its a useful design, that grants them an incredibly mobile weapons platform and fire support Also-love the design, fits the overall aesthetic)
That was some really cool advice about details you don't like after the painting is finished. They look a lot better and not like the Land Speeder in the Ultramarines movie, (just sitting there).
I think if you think of pretty much every like action hero movie, when there is a chopper or plane, very often the generic pilot guy just dies or panics or just generally sucks so I think it kind of makes sense. You have a very tough pilot, who has super senses, is battle hardened to not panic or miss shots under fire, who then if the vehicle is downed is a useful soldier.
I think your lore reason kinda makes sense. like in titans you don't have spacemarines of soldiers from the astra, you got princeps. At the same time a landspeeder is, probably, more complex than a rhino, so it kinda makes sense that you need more training to pilot it efficiently.
I think land speeders make sense if you think of them in terms of vehicles used by special forces today. High speed, lightly armored vehicles that can still carry an impressive array of weapon systems. The design of the land speeder makes sense, as you said space marines are already heavily armored, so the vehicle doesn't need to be. Two Marines could quickly reach a forward observation point to scout for enemy troop movements or intercept enemy recon teams. In these examples the Land Speeder is absolutely the tool for the job for the mobility it offers the Space Marines the ability to have a large battlespace presence while being a numerically inferior force.
that opening was not expecting the "except these guys" each model of mine is like precious son or daughter. even the ones i adopt. i couldn't imagine hating any of them.
Yes! I have been preaching this for years! Honestly this is why I’m never buying space marines. I love vehicles but the idea of an astartes fully suiting up just to drive a tank is ludicrous.
just for fun, the primaris land speeder became a meme in italy, beacouse the marines seems a quite famous comedian trio called aldo giovanni and giacomo when they did a theatre show and in this show there was the subau baracca sketch. and it was perfect.
THANK YOU! I’ve been thinking this for ages. The only vehciles marines need are thunderhawks and drop pods to get them onto the battlefield and provide some support. Then just infantry is all marines need
@@TheAtomicSpoonNo sorry its a but more complicated than that. Because they would serve much better as a special forces unit than anything else. They don’t have the numbers to perform the same role as imperial guard (although even great crusade era wouldn’t have had the numbers, they would just be much better versions of 40k Astartes). Ok yeah rhino’s might be a good idea to move Astartes around a base outside of warfare but when you have your marines shoved in a much bigger, much less defended (yes they are poorly defended, no shielding and even games like DoW realise how weak rhino’s are) target during active combat it seems like your asking for an artillery bombardment. Giving a marine a thunderfire cannon makes them again a much less mobile target compared to a tactical support or devastator squad and if you involve drop pods to get them close to their target the damage effect becomes pretty similar. Land speeders and bikes? Maybe (they are definitely the best option to put marines in) because their enhanced reaction speed would certainly make them better pilots on such fast vehicles but the gunners bloody well don’t need to be marines, the gunners could literally be servitors evident by the use of them in imperial naval ship guns. Why put your better than man Astartes in a role that could be performed probably just as well by a guardsmen or even servitor. My point here is that anything that makes an Astartes become a larger target and/or a less mobile target feel like a more rule of cool than a tactical idea. Some exceptions to my point would be terminator armour since they can teleport (making them much more mobile when used in surgical strikes) and they are used better in corridor scenarios where mobility is already limited so durability is better. Also maybe centurions because they are more mobile than a tank while remaining a small target but I feel like they would be used in very niche scenarios. Edit: Apologies I also seemed to have forgotten the aircraft so I will explain that now. While yes there are many advantages to having an Astartes fly planes (increased reaction speed, better resistance to g-force and better chance or survival in the event of a crash) there becomes a point where the number of imperial aircraft outweighs those advantages. I would think one of the best aircraft to put marines in would be having 1-3 marines pilot a thunderhawk since thunderhawks can provide support to ground units and most importantly they are used to transport other marines so normally that will involve landing thunderhawks in very high risk landing areas where the benefits of an Astartes over a normal pilot would come in most useful. Also thunderhawks could provide the firepower that infantry marines lack if they ever encounter a titan (although Imperial Guard, Knights and other Titans are the ideal force to deal with enemy Titan legions). As for marines in the imperial navy roles the experience and wisdom of older marines would certainly be very useful for tactical roles. Also during active void engagements having Astartes breacher squads and terminators would be a valuable asset for battle barges and battleships.
@@Sollapoke Legions fought differently. Just because you think they should all fight the exact same way doesn't mean they should. No wall of text from one guy will change that. 30k literally has rules for astartes crew being flat out better and able to shake off effects that normal crew would suffer penalties from.
@@TheAtomicSpoon Just because the writers think every Legion should fight differently doesn’t mean they should. My point with that is that Astartes are designed to be a better foot soldier than anyone else therefore tactics that utilise the most advantages of having a trans-human will be the most effective. So siege warfare, attrition warfare, tank assualts and dog fights might be done 2x better by Astartes but steel rain tactics, surgical thunderhawk strikes and hit and run bike attacks would be done 10x better by Astartes purely based on the biology and equipment of a space marine. Yes sometimes you can’t have drop pods, thunderhawks, bikes and landspeeders solve all problems but there is a good reason Guard exist and this time its not to make up for numbers. Here is a scenario. The Imperium of Man need to retake a planet and they have a fortress that is too valuable to be bombed from orbit so they decide to use siege warfare to take down the walls. Which option is better for taking down the walls? Option A) Use the Iron Warriors to break down the walls (bare in mind the Iron Warriors will be completely exposed outside the wall and will hardly have the numbers to ensure they don’t get flanked while attacking one section of the wall) or Option B) send in the Death Korps of Kreig which have more than enough men to account for losses while breaking the wall and can spread their men all around the sides of the fortress. I don’t know how good of an example that was so I’ll also ask the question. During the first parts of the Siege of Vraks do you think it would have been better for Space Marines to replace the Deah Korps? Space marines are no good at attrition wars where the enemy will be able to fire all their weapons on them and they are also no good at holding strategic locations since they don’t have the numbers. After all a Space Marine is probably more valuable than the tanks they pilot so my point is why put them in somewhere that makes them easier to kill when you can get enough Imperial Guard to do the same job since human lives are almost worthless to the Imperium. Yeah they might be better at using tanks and aircraft than humans but when the human tank and the Astartes tank get inevitably taken down which loss will be more catastrophic? Being small and fast makes Astartes harder to kill and if they are in a scenario where small and fast don’t work it will be more cost effective to send in 3x the amount of Guardsmen to do that job for them. Its not what I think they should do its what the should do if they want to be tactically smart rather than tacticool. I would be genuinely interested if you try to convince me that the Legions different methods of warfare are anything other than a design choice by games workshop to make them unique in an aspect other than looks.
5:20 ended up pausing the video here and checking something - those're the same kind of boxes my mom uses for storing buttons she uses in crafts projects, that's a funny lil coincidence to me.
I'm gonna spitball as say that the artist and writers as GW didn't really know how fast terminal velocity was and didn't know the extreme speeds people were pushing to, i believe the land speeder was introduced in the late 80s and Andy Green(a nominal human not a space marine) would break the sound barrier on land in 1997. Most high speed train (which Britian did have in the 1980s) could go faster then terminal velocity so maybe they got the idea of EXTREME speed from the high speed trains they would most likely have used at some point.
I’m sure it’s been asked, but what was used for the stamp of the purity seals? The speeders looks amazing, I love the pine bark trick. I have to use it for my currently “floating” air units hahaha
Because you need fast attack, gosh! 😂. Storm Speeder Thunderstrike with that BS 2 next to a tech marine 🤷♂️. I think the storm speeder model looks a little cool?
Personally, I would *remake them in a dreadnough pattern:* 1 marine drives them, and it's a fatally woulded one, kept alivebby the machine. It would explain their existance and slow speed, that is more akin to hovering over the battlefield with a personal jetpack. The 3d model overhauling would allow room for fixing (or more easily ignore) the 3rd issue, that you didn't mention: the gun is off the axis, thus recoil affects flying.
Skimmer-ing at 120/mph, shooting with super human accuracy, while hyper extending yourself against all odds in a battle that will define a war. I like the idea.
These are the reason the Ravenwing Talon Master feels weird. Especially when you can kit him out for close combat, while he is hanging out the side of his Landspeeder 😓😅👀
The idea of the open topped land speeders, especially the first two examples, was that they were cut down for weight. They couldn't put much armor on it because they wanted it to go fast, and they didn't need much light armor because space marine armor is as good as anything they can add. To me I always wanted something more like a deth kopta. Just strap a marine into a little helicopter with a couple guns attached to the sides. Add some aerodynamics and make it actually look like a buggy, with enough frame to hold it together. My biggest complaint about the original two is they look like rockets strapped to the back of the marines couch. The lack of armor and bulk in the vehicle doesn't bother me. It's the second marine and the lack of structure. Cool video overall
In one of the Gaunts Ghosts books there's a Caestus Assault Ram that is piloted by a servitor, and some of the Ultramarine books have naval ships and Thunderhawks piloted by Surfs, who are aspirants that were incompatible with the all of the geneseed organs, and if they survived their body rejecting them stay inside the Chapter and serve the Ultramarines in menial duties, including piloting vessels.
IDK about anybody else but if I was zipping around in a fragile open top combat vehicle in the 41st millennium, I'd be a lot happier if I was doing in some power armour. I'm biased though, the land speeder storm is on of my favourite vehicles from both from the look of the model but also how I'd imagine the scouts inserting around a battlefield on it. Best part of the hobby, there's an aesthetic for everyone
Honestly I think as a scout and fast attack vehicle, the Proteus is the closest they've gotten to having the design look unique and appropriate for the role. I think they should go back in that direction but solve the whole chilling on the couch look somehow so it looks less silly. Maybe make it like an extra big jump pack with mounted guns or something, where the marines are mounted onto the front rather than sitting. Massive amounts of armor on a recon vehicle isn't all that necessary when power armor is insanely durable anyways.
JUSTICE FOR STORMBOLTERS! Anyway maybe it's interesting to review different types of stormbolters. I have a love-hate relationship with those shoe boxes.
I have similar feelings on the landspeeders feeling to small for regular marines. but the land speeder storm filled with scouts really helps the proportions.
Whenever Jay is about to introduce the ad for his patreon reminds me to muscle man from Regular Show. ¨You know who else isn´t safe from paint splater...? MY MOM !! ¨
The real problem for me, that I took care with some 3D printed pieces... Is just the open cockpit (and the third marines on the storm speeder yes, but I took care of it too).
I've always thought it would make more sense for the scout tier marines to also be the drivers/pilots. Most of the reaction time/reflexes, since that's the most common reason I've seen stated for marine pilots, without having to sacrifice a full power armored battle brother.

The benefit you get from faster reflexes etc. as a marine versus the chapter having serfs pilot their vehicles won't be more significant than the benefit you get from having an extra scout marine on the field. A scout marine would no doubt be better, but not THAT much better.

Using the crashing scene from Pariah Nexus as an example, Space Marines would pilot their own vehicles because they would be able to think rationally and perform their duties under extreme circumstances that would have a normal trooper passed-out or in a state of shock. Having regular troops serve as pilots would likely be disadvantageous because they would be unable to perform their duties and the Marines would have to take over anyways, saves an extra step by having them be pilots from the get go.
I love landspeeders, especially their clunky 80's retro futuristic design that just looks like a box falling apart. It shows how far the imperium's technology has fallen
I really like these thoughts on models with some lore to back them up, and then sometimes reworking the models.
That space marine sticking out the top is Captain Tinnitus
In my old Space wolves army, as their lore was that they were lost in a far away planet out of supplies, their land speeder was modified to work on wheels (grav engines, as you said, are difficult to mantain). It was a super easy conversion and worked pretty well!
Oh man that old intro music! That's a good nostalgia hit of dopamine right there...
I found this channel back in 2014 or 2015, when I was getting back into mini painting after a looooong hiatus, and I still occasionally look up those old videos when I need basing help.
THAT INTRO GOT ME WHEEZING
Agreed!
How? You got asthma?
In almost 25 years of playing I have NEVER met anyone who dislikes the Land Speeder.
In light of this, I must believe your opinion a slanderous one and therefore I'm driven to extremes.
A curse upon your livestock, sir. A curse upon you, a curse upon your cow and a curse upon your goat.
I am aghast.
This is why I love watching your videos Jay, you don't just say "This is bad", you identify what you don't like about the mini etc. and offer a nice alternative solution to make improvements.
I always thought a landspeeder fills the role of a low flying attack helicopter. They're fast, lightly armored and can hit tanks from above. As to why astartes fly them...maybe to fly as fast and low as possible? Good reflexes help not getting hit by flak. It also doesn't hurt that they probably have a higher G-force ceiling. (Tolerate G's ? Idk how to write that...)
The thing is, the bonus given by fast reflexes surely is more than nullified by the extra weight and room.
@@Scarletraven87 well i mean, if you’d put a regular guard up there you would need to put more armor on the speeder itself to protect the guy from bullets etc. because as they are now the pilots are pretty exposed
@@mrclean29 Protecting the whole thing with an external shell weights less than protecting all its components (pilot, engine, etc) singularly
Because protecting single components is like adding wrinkles to an otherwise smooth skin. You increase the total surface.
I also have a love/hate with my speeders. I attempted to kitbash a homemade Tempest years ago, didn’t work out, so he’s a piece of crashed terrain now. I don’t like painting the old style flyer stands so I leave them clear. The newer ones just get the base replaced and I use brass rod to build a scenic base. Great work as always, keep it up!
I like how you omitted the Tempest version and the space marine scout version :).
Cool video and loving the bases.
also landspeeder vengeance (dark angels)
The Tempest sees my table as a substitute Typhoon, on occasion it actually flies as itself. Once a decade...
Ignoring the terminal velocity bit, stellar video with fantastic editing. This piece is great!
I would honestly love if there were some chapter serf minis included in the ten men boxes, or if there were basically two options for each ten men box, one with serfs and one without. Just some servitors and/or normal humans working alongside the Space Marines, carrying weapons or ammunition crates, cleaning swords, maybe holding a Lieutenant's helmet or some religious imagery, like the serfs in the Grimaldus and Retinue box. It would bring some neat variety into the Space Marines armies.
mr man is a wholesome guy, such a delight to listen to when slogging through uni work
What I like most about these videos. You don't just rant about pros and cons. You show what you'd do! Love it!
I think the basic 3rd edition land speeder is one of my favorite models. An armored hover car tearing through the battlefield at high speeds with awesome weaponry. Imagine the face on the pilot of an Eldar viper as one of these appears along side as the multi melta levels. They were fun to use in game and when deep striking 4 in with 2 multi meltas on each. At least back in 7th.
The 2nd edition land speeder was the best version, and I like the way that the StormSpeeder has a lot of call backs in its design
Jay you should put up one of those magnetic dry-erase white boards on one of your hobby room walls. I put all my magnetized weapon options on it instead of buried in my bits boxes. It looks super impressive and you can even write some shit like "THE ARMORY" on the top on dry-erase.
metal pencil case might not be a bad one either, thinking more about transporting them. Or really any metal bawks.
Your addition of the larger cannon invokes to me the cannon on the A-10. It's imposing and the sound of it invokes fear in the enemy and cheers from allies.
Love the old model, clunky but effective... On a strategy point of view, having a way to carry heavy weaponry across physical obstacles is a must. offering heavy supresing fire to cover your asault marines werever they go is almost essential....
Most moder army use fast travel light armored vehicle, they tend to yeild lots of firepower to cover infantry an disable small fortifications. a good example is the german wiesel...
In the wole lore of 40k , in witch many thing have gone wrong in the last decade, land speeders are one of the most tacticaly and lorewise realist concept. The model is so iconic of old space marine logic : ugly but fonctionnal. Even the armor is logic, lorewise, if you shot one down, you could got up to 4 angry overpowered warriors to deal with , it might even be behind your line...
These turned out great! I personally really like the look of land speeders, and am totally OK with the pilots being marines in full armour, because they feel like the marines could jump out and join the battle on-foot at any time. They're less like a vehicle crew, and it's more like a light transport that happens to have guns on it. Like a really fast combat scooter.
The third gunner dude on the new ones looks RIDICULOUS though, and is the thing that's stopped me picking one up. If I ever get one I'd like to kitbash it so there's a sensor array or something else there.
Holy crap, I never imagined how useful tinfoil could be. This is the painting level-up that I've NEEDED for my conversion and kitbash work, thank you!
I think most (almost all) vehicles look ridiculous in 40K. It's one of the reasons I never got into playing or collecting complete armies, just grabbing the odd mini for painting an collecting. I think what could make the speeders look a little better would be to replace at least one Space Marine with a 28mm vehicle driver model from something like Bolt Action. They could be the pilot and then the Space Marine adds the firepower. It'd have the added advantage of selling the Space Marine as a 10 foot tall super soldier.
Most of the vehicles in 40k look ridiculous next to miniatures for the same reason Star Wars action figure vehicles look ridiculous next to your figures: the scale is squished, and not consistently across the model. Think about how a Leman Russ battle tank is depicted in artwork vs how it looks on the table.
The other problem most vehicles face is that everything else in the army is mounted on a base, and many vehicles are not, so there is a visual consistency missing there as well.
Makes sense for space marines to drive land speeders. But I dont think they drive the tanks and most vehicles. They have a lot of supporting humans and techpriests. They are probably doing the driving.
I started reading Horus Heresy books recently and it is stated that a lot of vehicules like Stormbirds and Thunderhawks were piloted by servitors. On the other hand as far as I know the marines piloting aircraft or driving tanks do not count to the Codex 10x100 marines requiement so maybe this is a way to bypass the restriction.
*vehicles
Appreciate the obscure Shrek reference.
You skipped how you made the wax seal on the purity seals! Those models look sick as hell though. Love the skeleton of the heretics added on, those look awesome.
The ziplock drug baggies are awesome for bitz. Have a baggie for each unique part. Then further organized into ziplock sandwich/medium storage bags for arms, weapons, heads, etc... and then further again in either 2L or 6L bins (got mine at Canadian Superstore) by faction+infantry and faction+vehicles.
As much fun as it is to dig for that perfect bit, meticulous organization is extremely satisfying and so much more time efficient.
4:30 oh you’re leaving out that weird dark angel one that has the gunner like a DJ
The land speeder storm is great. I had a lot of fun dropping off scouts to melta bomb things. Space marine vehicles should really just be piloted by scouts and the serfs that fail to make the grade.
I think those models are cool. It has that 90s action figure vibe. Like you know that in the basic kit you just get the space marine action figure but you have to buy his land speeder separately. :Dd Plus of course lorewise it would make sense for them to wear their armour while driving that as the thing has barely any hull coverage, also remember that Tony Stark does not have to drive a land speeder because his suit can fly.
2 words: White Scars
Speed
Other two still topical words: Blood Angels
add bulletproof glass + armor/doors to the speeders, making them less ridiculous
I will say, I also think the landspeeder looks derpy. That being said, even in Soul Hunter, Septimus, the human pilot, is often described as slow and unable to pilot the thunderhawk as well as a space marine. It's the same argument for every Astartes unit, while you could have humans for any of the roles (pilot, tech marines, apothecaries, etc), they wouldn't be quite as capable.
I've always wanted to see chapter serfs on the battlefield taking care of stuff like driving vehicles that aren't bikes or something. I've also always wanted to see wavy clear plastic mounts for these, to look like distorted air underneath it.
You forgot everyone's favorite, the scout minivan! You can now fit your entire family in a land speeder! When I came back to this game and saw that it had me wondering if it had removeable or stowable seats.
The Storm was mentioned, but there's two missed; the Tempest, The DA Vengence. The Stormwolf, Stormtalon and Stormraven also suffer from the 'Flying Brick' look, and either look like a shrunk Thunderhawk, or a kid playing with Lego....
I think lore wise the reason the space marines crew the speeder is because compared to humans they have enhanced reflexes, reactions and therefore can pilot something driving so fast without the slow response time of us humans lol
As for having the 2nd being a gunner, I'd assume again that marines have a enhanced ability with accuracy and this likely helps when moving 100+mph lol
Awesome video dude, really enjoyed the history lesson :)
In early editions they weren’t considered “open top” because of the space marine peer armor.
I think for lore reasons, it’s really good that you brought up Soul Hunter, because Septimus does pilot the Thunderhawk, and everyone is pissed at him and talos for it, I find them driving their own vehicles weird as well, but it seems like an ego thing. Like they don’t see humans as good enough to drive their stuff, even if that makes them as soldiers less effective.
Well, the Land speeder dpes make some sense lore-wise at least
While fighting on the ground, it is sometimes necessary to have heavy weapons at a shortest time possible from a flank or rear position to where your main offence/defence takes place, for example behind an enemy tank assault, tearing it apart from behind and getting away just as fast.
The pilot has to be a space marine for a number of reasons. One-they can be easily replaced in combat in case the pilot is wounded (as space marines cannot have their own offensive human troops, only navy and PDF). Two-you can sacrifice pilot protection for a degree of structural integrity of the vehicle itself without increasing the vehicle's mass, as the power armor gives a decent protection from small arms and light artillery. Third-reaction and targeting. Space marines have targeting matrixes integrated into their helmets, which makes them able to both pilot at great speeds without much risk and target incredibly quickly.
All in all-its a useful design, that grants them an incredibly mobile weapons platform and fire support
Also-love the design, fits the overall aesthetic)
Ooh I love the caution stripes you added! Loyalists deserve a safe work environment too!
You forget the land-speeder of the Dark Angels!!
The Vengence and Darkshroud actually look cool
That was some really cool advice about details you don't like after the painting is finished. They look a lot better and not like the Land Speeder in the Ultramarines movie, (just sitting there).
@13:37 "what do you guys think maby i´ll just leave em like that" .....
in my mind: .....O DEAR GOD ITS THE DREADED FLYING "Assault Bake-Potatoes" O_o
I think if you think of pretty much every like action hero movie, when there is a chopper or plane, very often the generic pilot guy just dies or panics or just generally sucks so I think it kind of makes sense. You have a very tough pilot, who has super senses, is battle hardened to not panic or miss shots under fire, who then if the vehicle is downed is a useful soldier.
Dude literally blew my mind when you showed that old video! You popped up in my recommendations and I didn’t realize that was your channel also lol
I think your lore reason kinda makes sense. like in titans you don't have spacemarines of soldiers from the astra, you got princeps.
At the same time a landspeeder is, probably, more complex than a rhino, so it kinda makes sense that you need more training to pilot it efficiently.
I think land speeders make sense if you think of them in terms of vehicles used by special forces today. High speed, lightly armored vehicles that can still carry an impressive array of weapon systems. The design of the land speeder makes sense, as you said space marines are already heavily armored, so the vehicle doesn't need to be. Two Marines could quickly reach a forward observation point to scout for enemy troop movements or intercept enemy recon teams. In these examples the Land Speeder is absolutely the tool for the job for the mobility it offers the Space Marines the ability to have a large battlespace presence while being a numerically inferior force.
That red and yellow striping looks sick. Awesome modifications Jay.
But Jay... what about the Landspeeder Storm?!?! :D
I love the land speeder, it just looks so goofy.
that opening was not expecting the "except these guys" each model of mine is like precious son or daughter. even the ones i adopt. i couldn't imagine hating any of them.
Yes! I have been preaching this for years! Honestly this is why I’m never buying space marines. I love vehicles but the idea of an astartes fully suiting up just to drive a tank is ludicrous.
what if he, you know, has to get out of the tank at some point...? :P
just for fun, the primaris land speeder became a meme in italy, beacouse the marines seems a quite famous comedian trio called aldo giovanni and giacomo when they did a theatre show and in this show there was the subau baracca sketch.
and it was perfect.
Respect to you for having subtitles :) It really helps
thank goodness you corrected that "storm bolter" call boy was my eye twitching 😂
THANK YOU! I’ve been thinking this for ages. The only vehciles marines need are thunderhawks and drop pods to get them onto the battlefield and provide some support. Then just infantry is all marines need
But then how can GW sell you a new super gadget every 6 months? They can’t survive off of 3 $50 books per year.
Because combined arms warfare is just too hard of a concept for genetically enhanced super soldiers. Give me a break.
@@TheAtomicSpoonNo sorry its a but more complicated than that. Because they would serve much better as a special forces unit than anything else. They don’t have the numbers to perform the same role as imperial guard (although even great crusade era wouldn’t have had the numbers, they would just be much better versions of 40k Astartes).
Ok yeah rhino’s might be a good idea to move Astartes around a base outside of warfare but when you have your marines shoved in a much bigger, much less defended (yes they are poorly defended, no shielding and even games like DoW realise how weak rhino’s are) target during active combat it seems like your asking for an artillery bombardment.
Giving a marine a thunderfire cannon makes them again a much less mobile target compared to a tactical support or devastator squad and if you involve drop pods to get them close to their target the damage effect becomes pretty similar.
Land speeders and bikes? Maybe (they are definitely the best option to put marines in) because their enhanced reaction speed would certainly make them better pilots on such fast vehicles but the gunners bloody well don’t need to be marines, the gunners could literally be servitors evident by the use of them in imperial naval ship guns. Why put your better than man Astartes in a role that could be performed probably just as well by a guardsmen or even servitor.
My point here is that anything that makes an Astartes become a larger target and/or a less mobile target feel like a more rule of cool than a tactical idea.
Some exceptions to my point would be terminator armour since they can teleport (making them much more mobile when used in surgical strikes) and they are used better in corridor scenarios where mobility is already limited so durability is better. Also maybe centurions because they are more mobile than a tank while remaining a small target but I feel like they would be used in very niche scenarios.
Edit: Apologies I also seemed to have forgotten the aircraft so I will explain that now. While yes there are many advantages to having an Astartes fly planes (increased reaction speed, better resistance to g-force and better chance or survival in the event of a crash) there becomes a point where the number of imperial aircraft outweighs those advantages.
I would think one of the best aircraft to put marines in would be having 1-3 marines pilot a thunderhawk since thunderhawks can provide support to ground units and most importantly they are used to transport other marines so normally that will involve landing thunderhawks in very high risk landing areas where the benefits of an Astartes over a normal pilot would come in most useful. Also thunderhawks could provide the firepower that infantry marines lack if they ever encounter a titan (although Imperial Guard, Knights and other Titans are the ideal force to deal with enemy Titan legions).
As for marines in the imperial navy roles the experience and wisdom of older marines would certainly be very useful for tactical roles. Also during active void engagements having Astartes breacher squads and terminators would be a valuable asset for battle barges and battleships.
@@Sollapoke Legions fought differently. Just because you think they should all fight the exact same way doesn't mean they should. No wall of text from one guy will change that.
30k literally has rules for astartes crew being flat out better and able to shake off effects that normal crew would suffer penalties from.
@@TheAtomicSpoon Just because the writers think every Legion should fight differently doesn’t mean they should. My point with that is that Astartes are designed to be a better foot soldier than anyone else therefore tactics that utilise the most advantages of having a trans-human will be the most effective. So siege warfare, attrition warfare, tank assualts and dog fights might be done 2x better by Astartes but steel rain tactics, surgical thunderhawk strikes and hit and run bike attacks would be done 10x better by Astartes purely based on the biology and equipment of a space marine.
Yes sometimes you can’t have drop pods, thunderhawks, bikes and landspeeders solve all problems but there is a good reason Guard exist and this time its not to make up for numbers.
Here is a scenario. The Imperium of Man need to retake a planet and they have a fortress that is too valuable to be bombed from orbit so they decide to use siege warfare to take down the walls. Which option is better for taking down the walls? Option A) Use the Iron Warriors to break down the walls (bare in mind the Iron Warriors will be completely exposed outside the wall and will hardly have the numbers to ensure they don’t get flanked while attacking one section of the wall) or Option B) send in the Death Korps of Kreig which have more than enough men to account for losses while breaking the wall and can spread their men all around the sides of the fortress.
I don’t know how good of an example that was so I’ll also ask the question. During the first parts of the Siege of Vraks do you think it would have been better for Space Marines to replace the Deah Korps?
Space marines are no good at attrition wars where the enemy will be able to fire all their weapons on them and they are also no good at holding strategic locations since they don’t have the numbers. After all a Space Marine is probably more valuable than the tanks they pilot so my point is why put them in somewhere that makes them easier to kill when you can get enough Imperial Guard to do the same job since human lives are almost worthless to the Imperium.
Yeah they might be better at using tanks and aircraft than humans but when the human tank and the Astartes tank get inevitably taken down which loss will be more catastrophic? Being small and fast makes Astartes harder to kill and if they are in a scenario where small and fast don’t work it will be more cost effective to send in 3x the amount of Guardsmen to do that job for them.
Its not what I think they should do its what the should do if they want to be tactically smart rather than tacticool. I would be genuinely interested if you try to convince me that the Legions different methods of warfare are anything other than a design choice by games workshop to make them unique in an aspect other than looks.
5:20 ended up pausing the video here and checking something - those're the same kind of boxes my mom uses for storing buttons she uses in crafts projects, that's a funny lil coincidence to me.
10K Deathwatch army with 250+ models. Well done mate 👍
I'm gonna spitball as say that the artist and writers as GW didn't really know how fast terminal velocity was and didn't know the extreme speeds people were pushing to, i believe the land speeder was introduced in the late 80s and Andy Green(a nominal human not a space marine) would break the sound barrier on land in 1997. Most high speed train (which Britian did have in the 1980s) could go faster then terminal velocity so maybe they got the idea of EXTREME speed from the high speed trains they would most likely have used at some point.
I’m sure it’s been asked, but what was used for the stamp of the purity seals? The speeders looks amazing, I love the pine bark trick. I have to use it for my currently “floating” air units hahaha
Because you need fast attack, gosh! 😂. Storm Speeder Thunderstrike with that BS 2 next to a tech marine 🤷♂️. I think the storm speeder model looks a little cool?
Personally, I would *remake them in a dreadnough pattern:* 1 marine drives them, and it's a fatally woulded one, kept alivebby the machine.
It would explain their existance and slow speed, that is more akin to hovering over the battlefield with a personal jetpack.
The 3d model overhauling would allow room for fixing (or more easily ignore) the 3rd issue, that you didn't mention: the gun is off the axis, thus recoil affects flying.
Skimmer-ing at 120/mph, shooting with super human accuracy, while hyper extending yourself against all odds in a battle that will define a war.
I like the idea.
These are the reason the Ravenwing Talon Master feels weird. Especially when you can kit him out for close combat, while he is hanging out the side of his Landspeeder 😓😅👀
The idea of the open topped land speeders, especially the first two examples, was that they were cut down for weight. They couldn't put much armor on it because they wanted it to go fast, and they didn't need much light armor because space marine armor is as good as anything they can add.
To me I always wanted something more like a deth kopta. Just strap a marine into a little helicopter with a couple guns attached to the sides. Add some aerodynamics and make it actually look like a buggy, with enough frame to hold it together. My biggest complaint about the original two is they look like rockets strapped to the back of the marines couch. The lack of armor and bulk in the vehicle doesn't bother me. It's the second marine and the lack of structure.
Cool video overall
"new this month we have bound demon complete with ball gag"
never thought id hear that from a mini painter channel as i almost choke on my food
In one of the Gaunts Ghosts books there's a Caestus Assault Ram that is piloted by a servitor, and some of the Ultramarine books have naval ships and Thunderhawks piloted by Surfs, who are aspirants that were incompatible with the all of the geneseed organs, and if they survived their body rejecting them stay inside the Chapter and serve the Ultramarines in menial duties, including piloting vessels.
IDK about anybody else but if I was zipping around in a fragile open top combat vehicle in the 41st millennium, I'd be a lot happier if I was doing in some power armour. I'm biased though, the land speeder storm is on of my favourite vehicles from both from the look of the model but also how I'd imagine the scouts inserting around a battlefield on it. Best part of the hobby, there's an aesthetic for everyone
I think the armour makes sense. The vehicle isn't offering much protection, and the armour would be great crash protection as well.
Honestly I think as a scout and fast attack vehicle, the Proteus is the closest they've gotten to having the design look unique and appropriate for the role. I think they should go back in that direction but solve the whole chilling on the couch look somehow so it looks less silly. Maybe make it like an extra big jump pack with mounted guns or something, where the marines are mounted onto the front rather than sitting. Massive amounts of armor on a recon vehicle isn't all that necessary when power armor is insanely durable anyways.
I also use jewelry cases for my bits
I made all my black templar speeders with Neophyte gunners and just Initiate pilots, fits with the mentor and student feel.
Javelin and Tempest are dope AF! Also... I thought I had a problem with sorting my bits 😂
I love the scimitar jetbikes.
The land speeder typhoon is my favorite, something about the massive missile pods strapped to a little hover car is hilarious
JUSTICE FOR STORMBOLTERS! Anyway maybe it's interesting to review different types of stormbolters. I have a love-hate relationship with those shoe boxes.
I have similar feelings on the landspeeders feeling to small for regular marines. but the land speeder storm filled with scouts really helps the proportions.
Whenever Jay is about to introduce the ad for his patreon reminds me to muscle man from Regular Show. ¨You know who else isn´t safe from paint splater...? MY MOM !! ¨
Your nerdyness makes me laugh, i love it
Ziploc drug baggies😂😂😂 honestly I love speeders, You make really good points though but I still love them
2:21😂 why they look like going on vacation?
Hej Brother, how was your morning?
Thanks good, finally we have day off.
The real problem for me, that I took care with some 3D printed pieces... Is just the open cockpit (and the third marines on the storm speeder yes, but I took care of it too).
Dang man you gave some awesome tips! Never once did I think of using tin foil to paint over! Genius thank you!
"I'm an adult. I don't need to ask my parents' permission!" Unlike when you made the video with the Machine screw. It was adorable.
You forgot the biggest crime of all Land Speeder models, the flying castle, Land Speeder Vengeance! **wilhelm scream**
the original rogue trader and version 2 landspeeder look pretty awesome, the latest ones look pretty cool too
Great transitions between the scenes. Superb editing here fellas
Storm bolters XD
Great job on those man!
I want to see You overdo a Repulsor :D
Idk what you're on about, they look awesome
