Default Assault squads and transports.

I know that it is possible to take some squad with a transport.
I also know that assault sqauds can remove their jump-packs.
But can the assault marines without jump packs take a transport option? (ie, razorback, rhino or drop pod)

And if not, can they still ride in a land raider?

they can't ride in a rhino or razorback or drop-pod: remember, you can only use those options if they have it in their entry (which they don't )...however, yes, it is possible to load 'em into a land raider if its purchased as a heavy support option

Thats a real shame, the imagery of an assault squad bailing out of razorback and into a squad of <insert enemy name here> whilst the heavy bolters open up is quite nice really.

Good to know that they can be transported though.

heh, if you want assault marines bailing out of a razorback, get a veteran squad and put them in it (IIRC they can now take bp/ccw...course, i could be way wrong)
