What do you think is the best tank?
« on: March 20, 2002, 04:18:41 PM »
I would have to say:

Against infantry I would have to say the Basilisk with Armored Crew Compartment, Extra Armor, and Smoke Launchers. This makes it very good if you can roll a 4+ every turn to hit.

Against tanks I would have to say the Leman Russ Vanquisher. Those AT shells are tank killers.
Range:       Strength:           Ap:                    Notes:
72"                  8                    -          Roll 2D6+8(Strength)

Ordinance doesn't roll to hit, just for scatter.  

If I am only taking one vehicle, I always choose the Demolisher.  It is durable, and packs a big punch.  It's short range is irrelevant when all of the best enemy targets are going to come in range during their first moves.  

Overall, I prefer the Hellhound, but only when working in tandem with a pair of Chimeras.

BANEBLADE!

But seriously (since no one can afford a baneblade) I really like the demolisher too.

Hmm, for all round purposes, a plain jane russ is nice, tho exterminators with a hull-lascanon and sponson-hvy. bolters are extremely awesome.

I would have to say...Basilisks and the BaneBlade  ;D  They are just SOO KICK ASS!  36"-240" COME ON!!  That is just massive!  Blow the crap out of any mini on the map :)  632 points of pure guns  ::)  And the BaneBlade ain't tooooo expensive!  I'm saving up for one right now ;)  Need about $100 more :D  And the StormSword looks cool too!

I like basilisks but only if you can guess ranges really well. I unfortunatly can't. When not a basilisk Demolishers are fine.

Best tank in 40K: Wave Serpent, hands down

Best IG tank: tough one:
overall - Demolisher with big gun, lascannon and 2 plasma cannons
anti-infantry - Hellhound (so cheeeeep), but the loads of dice from an Exterminator is fun too!  ;D
for sheer power-trip - Baneblade! (we had a tank company vs tank company battle the other day, including a Baneblade on each side - too funny, they are not as tough as they look)

"Cheesiest" tank: Landraider Crusader?  :P (ok ok, let's not go there - the SM players might just bring up the thing about wraithlords, etc.)
