I wouldn't make a new unit but for the price I think a falcon deserves to
carry 2 stands and have one 45cm Antitank shot. This means its 6 points
less than a landraider has one less AT shot and -1 armour compared to a
LR,
fair I think.

As an aside in the rules it says that LRs are used to transport the first
company, this means that if each LRs carries one termie stand so there is
a limit of 20 LR per chapter. So unless a large proportion of a chapter
(or first company)
is in the field it is unlikely that there would be more than 4-5 LRs in a
battle.

Damn-good idea although I only have one of the old ones it would be good
to use him/her/it as a more powerfull geneotype of the Hive Tyrant, maybe
comparable to a greater demon? Bloodthirster :)
