It's the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT, and it's pretty much the best miniature that Forge World has ever made. I think CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT is a pretty cool guy. Eh purgs xenos and doesn't afraid of anything.

It's a unit from Forge World for the Imperial Guard. 35 Transport Capacity, Land Raider price, Leman Russ AV stats, Superheavy but 12" movement.

As for the meme side, I don't know. I don't follow that crap.

A guy on this forum was asking about how to use it properly, but he simply copypasted the all-caps name from Forge World, and people jokingly followed suit.

CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT is love.
CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT is life.

Explanation from tvtropes.org:

CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT:
Reached memetic status on DakkaDakka, originating in this thread where the poster seemed to have just copy-pasted the model's title from Forge World's website. Thanks to the rest of the posters in the thread also typing its name in ALL CAPS, the tank rapidly became a Memetic Badass.

Which also brings up the discussion of what you could put in it in 7th and how the (2 maybe) edition changes have affected the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT.

Yeah, did that. Giggled a bit, but still didn't get it :(
I also tried 1d4chan, lexicanum and the 40k wiki, but they didn't have anything. That was predictable from the last two, but 1d4chan's lack did surprise me.
That's why I asked.

omg. That's exactly what I thought. Kermit meets Commissar. Who in their right mind would buy such an ugly model, hahaha


Edit -- The top view isn't much better. Looks like Frog meets Turtle:



And the side view looks like a slug:

It's pretty simple, really.

At this point, all 40K memes pretty much revolve around shouting out something in ALL CAPS; especially when said something involves the Astra Militar- "HERESY!" *BLAM* Imperial Guard! ALL HAIL CIAPHAS CAIN, HERO OF THE IMPERIUM!!!

It doesn't even have to make sense or context to be lulzy. You can just throw it up there without warning like you're some sort of tactical geniu- CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!

What you need to understand about the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT, is this:

When the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT is shot with a meltagun, you roll to wound against the model that shot the meltagun.

If, and I do mean IF, a CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT is ever shot at and hit by an enemy vehicle, you roll on the vehicle penetration chart for the vehicle that just shot at the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT.

You cannot engage a CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT in melee. Any model that tries to charge a CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT must first take a leadership test. Fearless models automatically pass and only suffer a wound. Models that fail the leadership test are removed from the game. If they pass? Each model in the charging unit takes an automatic wound. If they save that wound, remove them from play anyways. No one assaults a CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT.

CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT never rolls for difficult terrain. Terrain is simply removed from the table when the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT moves within 1" of it.

The rulebook says the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT has a transport capacity of 35. This is wrong. Any model my embark onto a CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT; they must first declare the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT their Lord and Savior, and prior to disembarking, must declare their undying love for the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT.

These are the basics of the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT. You should be able to figure out the rest.
