Often ranging ahead of the main Space Marine force, Land Speeder Storms can move into enemy territory unseen, making them ideal for launching surprise attacks. The Land Speeder Storm is most commonly used as a stealth insertion craft, deploying the Scouts deep behind enemy lines where they can harass supply lines and destroy important targets. When the vehicle's cargo of Scout Marines are in the field, the vehicle can act as a mobile firebase to provide support, or the vehicle can act as an Assault Craft and drop the Scouts into hotly contested areas. The Land Speeder Storm is also equipped with baffled engines, which severely reduces their noise output, and a sophisticated spy array that helps gives the speeder an advantage during hit-and-run attacks.

Against melee troops constantly back away from them and resume firing. The best way to use Land Speeders is to rapidly advance to Tier 2 and attack your enemy with masses of them before they have any counter. With their vehicle low armor, they will die very quickly once your opponent gets significant anti-vehicular forces on the field (or even just very heavy anti-infantry). But why would you build lots of them? The major drawback of Land Speeders is the short time in which they are useful. In large numbers, they can shred up infantry like nobody's business.
