His tactic is brilliant

What he says is Bring lots of raiders then when you see them park your raiders in front for them (the enemy forces) and try to block their path. While your other forces advance, now one question guys when i flat out do i keep my units in the raiders or disembark them then throw your raiders at the enemy? Like i said i just got into DE 3 months ago and im not a master tactican but just to point out clear advantages in this tactic by naftka or faeit212

Most likely they are empty, and have no upgrades.

Thats 5th edition tactics, where flat-out raiders would block line sight and give cover to the rest of your forces. It relied on cover-save and that moving vehicles was hot on 6 in close combat.

Thats a copy from 5th edition Wave Serpent Spam, and is an example of blocking tactics that many armies can do.

It's an old tactic. I use something similar in the relic mission.

Rush forward, surround the relic and let a group jump out to claim. If your lucky the raiders will only be wrecked providing some difficult terrain and 5+ cover.
