Editing Rhino Transport (section)

==Rhinos in Action==

There are seven main kinds of Metal Box currently available; the Loyalist Version, the Mechanicus Version, the Custodes/Sisters of Silence Version, the Inquisition Version and the Chaos Version along with the Sororitas. All absolutely kick ass. Essentially speaking, almost everyone uses the damned [[METAL BOXES|Metal Box]] like the 40k equivalent of fucking iPhones. Even the [[Squats]] [[What|of all people]] are known to use the Rhino. Guess it really is that good eh?

====Rhino Transport====

The Loyalist Rhino features a modest variety of options. It has a [[Storm Bolter]], which can provide a decent volume of fire at short range. Its ability to take additional firepower is generally limited to an optional, additional storm bolter, and an optional [[Hunter-Killer Missile]] (an infinite range one-shot Krak Missile). In 8th Edition other options such as Dozer Blades have been reduced to cosmetic enhancements. Being reasonably fast and reasonably tough the Loyalist Rhino is useful as an assault transport, ensuring that its payload is delivered in a hurry while continuing to provide some support afterward. In earlier editions the Rhino's big top hatch served as a firing point for 1 or 2 troopers, [[Fail|but that is no longer the case]].

====Custodes Rhino/Null-Maiden Rhino====

As expected from the [[Emprah|Emprah's]] [[Adeptus Custodes]] and [[Sisters of Silence]], they themselves have access to the Rhino to help assist them in the 41st millennium. However it is a bit sad seeing as how the Custodes and Sisters went from having [[Caladius Grav-Tank|anti-grav vehicles that could one shot most enemy tanks]] and [[Kharon Pattern Acquistor|stealthed APC's with anti-tank missiles]] during the [[Great Crusade]] to now being bound to one of the most simple vehicles of the Imperium. That or maybe the forces of the Talons of the Emperor are having budget cuts and decide to use the Rhinos as compensation so they could use their more advance vehicles as a backup. As expected, these Rhinos are covered in gold which somehow automatically improves its status as [[Wat|''''venerable''''.]] I guess gold paint really is the answer to everything.

====Adepta Sororitas Rhino====

Like their Space Marine siblings, the Adepta Sororitas have access to the Rhino. It's very similar to the normal Rhino, aside from the fact that it can't take a 2nd Storm Bolter. The main difference, aside from aesthetics, is that it has can take a [[Laud Hailer]] (basically a megaphone that constantly broadcasts prayers and hymns, which helps the Sisters with their acts of faith) and the fact that it comes with a 6+ Invulnerable and Adamantium Will. As you can imagine, this makes it just as awesome, if not more, than the Space Marine Rhino. It should be noted that most vehicles based on the Sororitas pattern of Rhino like the [[Immolator]] have a hull mounted Heavy Bolter giving them above average fire power.

====Chaos Rhino====

{{Clear}}
The evil cousin of the Rhino aka [[Sonic the Hedgehog|The Hedgehog]]. Under no cicumstances tell the [[Firaeveus Carron|derplord]] that his own army has [[METAL BAWKSES|these]].

The main difference between the loyalist and chaos version of the Rhino is that the ones of chaos have SPIEKS! In a few ways, the Chaos Rhino is a better deal than the Loyalist version. Its main weapon is a [[Combi-Bolter]], which before 8th edition was flat-out ''better'' than the [[Storm Bolter]] of the Loyalist Rhino. It can also mount a second pintle weapon (either another combi-bolter, or a combi-plasma/flamer/melta), which is quite a nice way to add some punchy firepower to this otherwise innocuous vehicle. Its best-known and possibly-coolest advantage over the Loyalist Rhino is the [[Havoc Launcher]], which gives it a long-range S5 frag missile launcher that allows the Rhino to join in the fun and pelt enemies at longer ranges. So armed with a Havoc and the additional pintle weapon, the Chaos Rhino can deliver surprising firepower at a reasonable cost. It totally makes up for the fact that Chaos fellows don't get Razorbacks.

====Mechanicus Rhino====

The Mechanicus also deploys the Rhino but in less frequency due to having most of its forces as cyborgs and robots. It is similar to the loyalist counterparts but with Mechanicum iconography and stuff. They're also painted in Mechanicum red, black and white to show that yes, the Rhino is part of the Mechanicum forces. Although the Mechanicum don't really use them as much, the [[Skitarii]] found them to be quite useful in regards of not getting sniped in the battlefield. Plus the Mechanicum needs something that would led their [[Tech Thrall|expendable robo-men]] to do something rather than instantly dying in droves. For [[Games Workshop|some reason]], 8th Ed. AdMech don't have rules for rhinos, [[derp|even though they are the ones who manufacture them for the rest of the Imperium]], choosing the [[Skorpius Dunerider]] as its main transport (although it might just be because a certain someone wants people to buy shiny new models instead of second-hand ones).

====Inquisition Rhino====

{{Clear}}
The Inquisition not only has the Rhino but also other supposed 'Space Marine Exclusive' vehicles such as two patterns of [[Land Raider|Land Raiders]] and the [[Razorback]]. The Inquisition being some sort of pseudo-army (A large independent militia is a more accurate term) needed a transport vehicle to carry the [[Inquisitor]] and his merry men of psychos and sociopaths cheaply and safely. So it is of no surprise that the Inquisition would choose the famous Rhino and its versatility. While the Inquisition do also have access to the [[Chimera Personnel Carrier|Chimera]], it is more regulated to act as a support vehicle rather then being a dedicated transport, so the Inquisition rolls with it.

====Squat Rhino====

Yeah the Squats have them too. Back in the ye olde days, the Squats were able to gain access to the Rhino in the Ork and Squat Warlords army book back in 1992. While the Squats already have their oversized machines and [[Land Train|Land Trains]], they found out that they are in dire need of some surface crawling troop transport. So they got the Rhino in exchange for the Imperium getting the [[Leviathan]]. The deal worked, and now our little space dwarfs can ride inside a metal box while being supported by ''even bigger'' [[Colossus War Machine|Metal]] [[Cyclops War Machine|Boxes.]]
