==Patterns== There is a few noticeable patterns for the Razorback, these are: ===Infernum Pattern Razorback=== [[File:RazorbackInfernum.jpg|250px|right|thumb|Infernum Razorback.]] One of the first known patterns of Razorbacks first seen in the release of Imperial Armour Volume Two - Second Edition. The Infernum Pattern Razorback is an interesting-looking pattern found nowhere else. According to the fluff, it is believed that [[Techmarine]]s of the [[Fire Hawks]] Chapter formulated a means of overcoming the power feed issue and first used the new vehicle variant during the [[Badab War]], where this advanced type of Razorback was used to smash through enemy fortifications and deliver squads directly through the breach with its [[Multi-Melta]]. The New variant was named Infernum Pattern Razorback, and how the Fire Hawks avoided twisting the AdMech's panties over such [[Heresy|unsanctioned modifications, we have no idea.]] In terms of its looks, the Infernum differs from the normal vanilla due to its unique and more advanced-looking turret. Whereas the normal Razorback just has a remote-controlled turret with a small camera attached to it, the Infernum variety has a suite of advanced thermal and camera systems; akin to that of a [[Tarantula Sentry Gun]] turret. This probably gifts the Infernum better accuracy and stability over nighttime operations and heavily obscured environments. Currently, the only known weapons is the aforementioned Multi-Melta, although we wouldn't be surprised if it is capable of also carrying the other stock-standard Razorback armaments. ===Rikarius Pattern Razorback=== [[File:RazorbackRikarius.jpg|250px|right|thumb|Rikarius Razorback.]] The Rikarius Pattern Razorback or simply known as the Razorback Rikarius is a pretty unique pattern as it is another example of community friendliness; where a one man's conversion was given house rules by GW and completely ''canonised'' as [https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/Blog/Razorback_Rikarius_ENG.pdf can be seen here:] Fluffwise, the Razorback Rikarius is a Razorback variant used by the [[Blood Ravens]] and others. It was first developed in M37, when a resurgence of Ork forces in the Aurelian System prompted commanders to produce a tank that could eliminate vast amounts of infantry. The resulting vehicle was named after Yriel Rikarius, the Blood Ravens 2nd Captain at the time who had connections to the High Magos M'Lell of Mars. M'Lell ensured the revised Razorback STC was quickly fabricated and put into service alongside the embattled Blood Ravens. Sacrificing transport capacity to mount a variety of weapons such as twin-linked [[Assault Cannon]]s and two [[Hurricane Bolter]]s, squadrons of these vehicles have since served many other Space Marine Chapters. Ergo, treat this as the Razorback's equivalent of the [[Land Raider Ares]], where it really puts the '''Infantry Fighting''' in infantry fighting vehicle. In the intervening centuries, their numbers have dwindled and the [[Derp|STC lost]], which has resulted in the surviving vehicles being treated as relics. Crunchwise, it is a more expensive version of the regular Razorback due to sacrificing its remaining troop transport capacity with [[Dakka|MOAR GUNS]]. Suffice to say, this thing is a monstrous TEQ sweeper that eats hordes for breakfast. Considered as the primary [[Tarpit|tarpit breaker]] for Space Marines for such a compact size. Although it is more expensive for an already costly vehicle, but when facing against Tyranid and Ork players, the value in deleting hordes should be worth the cost. ===Vortimer Pattern Razorback=== [[File:VortimerRazorback.jpg|250px|right|thumb|Vortimer Razorback.]] Basically, the [[Land Raider Vortimer Redeemer]]'s little brother. The [[Grey Knights]] are known to make use of their own unique variant of the Razorback known as the Vortimer Pattern. Armed with a set of twin-linked [[Psycannon|psycannons]], only about a dozen are left in the chapter's armoury, meaning that every deployment of these venerable vehicles must be approved beforehand by the chapter council. These vehicles were personally constructed by Master Armourer Regis Vortimer himself and were for the Deliverance of Vulgate. On 8th Edition tabletop, this is a Razorback armed with the aforementioned twin psycannons, which in practice is effectively the same as the Assault Cannon variant, albeit with 4 fewer shots and +1 Strength. Nowhere near as flexible as the vanilla Razorback, but we still have access to those anyway. Thanks to Chapter Approved increasing the points cost on the twin psycannon by more than three-quarters of its original cost, [[Fail|this is really not worth considering anymore.]] For fuck's sake, the [[Wat|gun now costs two-thirds of a Rhino.]] {{Clear}} {{Template:40k-Imperial-Vehicles}} {{Template:Marines-Forces}} {|align=center border=2 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=4 |- !colspan=1| Adeptus Astartes!!
