I'm new to the boards and thought I'd drop a line to say hello. I also wanted to say how excited I am about ordering a new tank from Forge World! I'm so excited I could just about make a puddle. Anyway I picked a tank I LOVE the looks of, but would like to hear what other people think of it... looks, rules, or otherwise opinions are fine. I chose the Imperial Macharius Vulcan Heavy Tank.  I can't wait to get it. It's a beaut for sure! LSM |

Welcome to the boards. Its a nice community with good schools and almost no crime rate, and the markets on the rise. Kidding aside that is a b-e-a-utiful war tractor.

I love that tank. Having seen the rules on the FW website, it has got me drooling (15 S6 AP3 shots. 15!!!). An anti-marine unit to shame all other anti-marine units..... AMybe i should kitbash me one.

No. The Macharius is inferior to the Baneblade. The fluff states that the Imperium is forced to mass produce the Macharius to meet te demands of Imperial commanders which need super heavy tanks bu haven't got the time to wait for a Babeblade to be built.
That's a very nice model you have ordered there mate. Where do you get the rules? they aren't in IA:5...

Not sure. I thought they were in Siege of Vraks... but I may need to make sure before I buy the book. If not, they may be in FW Apocalypse book? I've got time. I paint when I have a chance and play hardly ever at all. I've never even put my Guard on the table yet. My last game was with my Marines about 2 years ago now. How the time flys...

Its worth it for the Vulcan mega-bolter alone. 15 S6 AP3 shots. Consider that at BS3, there will still be roughly (calculates) six dead marines before any other weapons on the tank fire.
Yummy.

IA:5 "The Siege of Vraks" only contains rules for the standard Macharius and the Vanquisher variant. Trust me on this one. I've checked.

It's finally here! Now I must pry myself from playing Supreme Commander and get to work on it! Maybe I'll be inspired and break out the Marauder Destroyer too!?!
Kind of a miracle that I got it though. The delivery service left it on my doorstep. I live in freaking apartments. You could see it sitting there from the parking area. I can't believe none of my neighbors hooligan kids stole the package before I got home. I also can't believe that who ever delivered it didn't drop it at the Apt Office. And just who does deliver FW stuff? I know it's Royal Mail when it's in England, but I can't imagine they have a little Brit running around dropping resin on peoples doorstep once it gets to the US... Or do they.... some sort of resin gnome perhaps?

You may have the resin gnome confused with the underpants gnomes, which are a whole different story...lol.
Believe it is actually just your average disgruntled, borderline-psychopath, USPS letter carrier that makes the delivery - it has been for the few FW items I've ordered in the past.
I shudder at the hint that this rather expensive and desireable bit of gaming goodness had the possibility of getting nicked before you even got it in hand... Worst I've had stolen from me is a rather excellently painted Terminator-Armored Chaplain. I had done a Furioso Dread for a guy that was able to get one game with it before it was stolen, but I'm rambling now...
Cannot tell you how Catachan Green with envy I am you have this wonderful *little* piece to play with... WANT!
Take your time and do it justice.

LSM So you not only have a Macharius Vulcanian, but a Marauder Destroyer too? I make me sick. Really though, If you just have the Destroyer lying around, I'll take her off your hands! ;D I've been on the fence about getting a Macharius myself. How do you like the model so far? oh, the "official rules" are in the IA:Apocalypse book |

Do these packages often sound like they have clocks inside and have wires poking out? If not, I've been sending stuff to the wrong adress.

Doesnt it say, stamped on the package what company delivered it?
My brother collects metal records, and the amount of times ive come home from tafe and found a $30 record sitting on the door step is disturbing. He is going to complain, not sure if hes contacted the postal company yet.
You should try and contact them, because thats just plain stupid leaving any package no matter what it contains on the door step.
