According to Dan Abnett in his Gaunts Ghost novel "Honour Guard"... hell yeah, the way he describes that thing...something like a tank sniper on tracks... what doesn't sound good about that Apart from that...thats all i can contribute  |

The rules for it are online on the Uk site in the Armored company entry.
They're pretty nice against tanks, htting on BS 3 with s10 and ordnace. They only have a small blast, so they're of minimal effectiveness against infantry for their points. I prefer the Vanquisher.

BS 3 hurts when you're talking a single AT shot per turn from a 150+pt model

sounds like a fun choice then. forgeworld vehicles are rarities on the battlefield, seeing a destroyer would be awesome  |

I think BS3 makes single shot tanks too expensive (cos it'll miss half the time) and you do'nt get to add sponsoons.

I'll take my standard variant Leman Russ any day. Wounds even the toughest of foes with ease, and you don't have to rely on the amazing Guard ballistic skill! 10/10 in my books.

yeah the standard issue leman russ is definately good but for excelling at tankbusting the destroyer seems more powerful than a standard russ (though the vanquisher seems awesome at both).

I prefer the Vanquisher... I have two of them... I don't want to brag... But since the 0-1 limit with Vanqusiher was removed, I have had alot of fun with both of them and my Baneblade. And yes... It's a genuine Baneblade, ordered from Forge World.  |

I read all mess in this topic again, and doesn't the destoryers cannon have S9, not 10, and AP 2 + blast.
With other words. Longer range and blast. But same S and AP. Or is my Imperial Armour out of date and wrong?

going to the rules of it, i've heard that they made an errata, that they either made it an AP1 gun, or that they made it so it has a pie plate(which im hoping its the pie plate errata)

I've Got Both The Destroyer AND a Vanquisher And I gotta Admit, I do Perfer my Vanquisher Abit, Though my Destroyer has pulled me out of a Jam or Two .... And I Understand The Jealousy of the Baneblade (I SOOO want one) ... But Just Remember This ... Last Weekend at the Battle Bunker, We Put Together A few Tables For a Massive 40 K Battle And guess what The Opposing Force Had on their Side? ... two Baneblades and a Shadowsword .... One of the Guys I was Teaming up with was the infamous J.B. Coutler (He doesn't work for GW anymore but Still likes to Play) ... Since We Were Being Slightly Lax on force Organization for This Massive Fun-Free-For-All, J.B. & I just Looked At Each Other as the Opposing Force Just Smirked and thought themselves Superiour .... until we both Brought Out our respected Warhound Titans (And our Eldar Ally had Just got HIS Eldar Revenant Finished As well so He joined the fun too) .... my Warhound is a Jackal Class Armed with a Vulcan Mega Bolter(God that weapon is a thing of Beauty against Infantry) and a Turbo Laser and J.B's is a Wolf Class Armed with a Inferno Cannon and a Plasma Blastgun ... The Eldar Revenant was Armed with Pulsars ... Needless to Say We All Targeted The Shadowsword 1st and that Combined Firepower made Short Work of it .. Then Pinged Off the Baneblades .... Lesson Of the Day? ... Baneblades Are Great .. Baneblades Are Awesome ... But there's Always Something Out there That will make it look as useful as a paper Airplane in a Gun Fight Note ... Just To Be Fair, As Soon as the Threat of the Super-Heavy Tanks were Gone, we Took the Titans Out .... and Yes, we Still Lost Damnit ... BOL  |

Actually, I only ever played agaist a warhound once myself, and I KIA'ed it (after it obliterated around a 3rd of my army) with 2 special weapons squads and a squad of hardened veterans (7 meltaguns and 2 demo charges.)
lol but it was funny
