Monolith, hands down. Harder to kill, its able to land anywhere, it can essentially fill the transport role by teleporting troops, it's got better weapons - the only thing it doesn't beat the crusader at is speed. And it's still cheaper than a crusader!

The monolith is a box, the land raiders cooler. I've never really seen a monolith in a battle, I have seen a land raider, though.

ive heard that monoliths get killed with massed firepower, but has amazing weapons and armour, the key part of a good vehicle, and with its landing power it can go anywhere. against a land raider head on, it does not attract the most firepower than a full army, so, monolith is my opinian.

i'm just waiting until some geek works this all out with maths.....

I've seen a monolith in a battle. It, along with the unit of warriors it teleported in front of it, took out a Shas'el crisis, a Shas'ui crisis, a devilfish and all of its 11 FWs and an Ionhead all in one turn. That was quite devastating. Luckily I had a broadside ready ;D

But I voted for the Crusader, simply because of it's coolness as ToastMaster said, and because it can deliver terminators.

Eh... The Monolith has some cool stuff, but the Crusader is an intense anti-Infantry vehicle. And I just like land raiders better than monoliths.

I think D6 shots at every target within 18" can qualify as anti-infantry

Really I think the Monolith is a harder vehicle, as in harder to destroy, but the Land Raider is much cooler.

Monolith: Utterly immovable, impervious to almost ALL Eldar anti-tank weapons, melta weapons, grenades of every sort except EMP, and with enough firepower to level any one target. It also fricking teleports troops.

The Lock, because 'which is best' topics are not something that really should be posted here(Tend to often toward flames). Both have thier strong points and thier uses, let's leave it at that.
