Damn, with models like these some new rules that say these models can be used in competitions are needed. Its such a shame that your opponent can say no to you using them!!!

Yes, but to be honest, when you look at it, It looks like a cross between a baneblade and a landraider.

Hey Woz, Why did you edit my post?
Was the link broken or something?

Nothing for me, so I voted no.
Looks like a failed breeding of a "Heavy Soviet Tank from C&C: Red Alert 1" and a Baneblade that shrunk during washing. And look at it, neither it's a Super Heavy nor is it a normal MBT, just somewhere in between...

Well, I suppose it would have to be fielded somewhat diffrently to SHBT's and MBT's
But in my opinion its a good looking tank.

I wouldnt.
If to have one, I had to lose all 3 Heavy Support places, I would.
Talking of which, check out my NEW army list, links in my sig.

The rules will be in the Imperial Armour V and you can only field the Macharius tank in big games as it is counted as a super Heavy Tank(Warmachine). And therefore you have to be able to use a 2nd Army Organisation Chart...

The problem is its expensive and so is the imperial armour.

And like I said. You pay for a Super Heavy and get only a half tank

And like I said. You pay for a Super Heavy and get only a half tank But it may only cost half the points. |

Well moneywise it's like I said. Point-wise it could be really a bit different.
But if it only costs half the points you have to expect crappy armor and a somewhat bad equipment and less structure points...

Oh, I didnt realise I had hit the W key when I was typeing the title out, thanks Woz.
And Surley it wont be fielded as a Super Heavy? Surley it would be a Heavy, and have its own fielding rules, becuase they would bring out Heavy Tanks for other armies?

Erm yes. And all the LR versions, Landraiders are light tanks? But if these would be light tanks what would the Predators be Ultra Light tanks?
