Well. Here we have the first edition of the IG's best tank! Vote on anything! Fluff, effectiveness, modelling, go for it! And if anyone puts Sentinel down you should be back on the infantry section!  |

demolisher, what's not to like about 13 side armor? can move 6" and fire the main gun or some other stuff with a bit more range. I prefer this tank to the regular leman russ as I'm not a fan of using vehicles to sit back and shoot when my infantry do taht all day long  |

I will have to go with the hellhound...even though it is not the toughest, it has always drawn even the slightest bit of attention away from my other units (even if for a turn or 2 before it is destroyed). Which gives me time to bring in the bigger/better guns.

Even though it said not to I had to. My fav is the baneblade for those who have not played with or against one of these bad boys let me just tell you this. GET ANY GOOD ANTI TANK WEAPON AND KILL IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. If you are playing with it make sure you use infantry to support it. If anything with meltabombs or tank bustas get close that can mean very bad news.

No votes for the Leman Russ?! These babies are essential to my armoured fist smash stuff tactic, i really should give it a proper name. You destroy my battle cannon, no problem i got three heavy bolters. It then becomes a mobile, heavy bolter weapons team, and kick arse.

I agree madman, I'd be far gone in many battles without the ever-faithful Battle Cannon. This is gonna be difficult gowever, back when I was a wee noob and I built my first Russ I put a Lascannon in the hull. I now realise how immensly stupid this was, so I gotta cut it out of the hull and put a Lascannon in. Could be cool, could suck. I'll keep you posted ;D

madman, wouldnt a demolisher be better than your normal leman russ for escorting your mechanized units across no-mans land? it's got the superior armor for hardly any extra points. personally the thought of my sexy and quite vicious and nasty tank taking hits to its side armor of 12(!!) makes me cringe :s

If i could field a demolisher i would. Points dictate that i can only field a bare bones leman russ. And a bare bones russ is a very deadly opponent. It also replaces my heavy bolter fire support team that i had to take out in my 1500 points list.... well sort of.

I like the good old fashioned leman russ. For 160 points you can get a nigh-indestructable tank with *awesome* weaponry. Demolishers are good too.  |

i would like to change my post. i like the standard russ.
game last night. in turn one it wiped out a chaos HW squad.
turn 2 it wiped out a chaos marine squad
turn 3 a deamon prince ripped it apart. made it explode. killing abaddon and 3 other termies, + wounding the deamon prince....while my 3 lascannon teams near it survived!

i didnt roll a hit once for my 'russ. but i managed to roll 1's and 2's for the scatter. so it planted the template right in the middle. and got them on partials.
i roll 3 hits in the same turn for my mortar squad! which i was quite impressed about.

As Exterminators aren't an option, and I haven't fielded my Hellhound yet, I have to go with the baneblade. My only tank to have not been destroyed yet . Haven't tried a demolisher yet either, may have to invest in 1. |

Ah, i would have to say basilisk for me, i have had insane things happen with mine (like taking out 30+orcs in one shot [don't ask how they were crammed together so tightly i was sneering the whole time waiting to shoot at them] and i have also kill a smurf squad, one hit) and i just love the ability to rain death on your enemy, totally clueless and oblivious to what the hell is happening while getting pounded ;D
