Alright, obviously the Leman Russ is the manliest tank in the Universe. A main gun that takes up almost the entire turret. Insanely tough to crack armor not because it's top of the line, but because they bolted on so much friggin armor that the front of tank alone weighs almost as much as a house. The size of a house because low profiles are for cowardly pointy ears, I want a tank the size of a monster truck. Gas? What is that? I'm sorry, my tank runs on Beer and whatever this grease we scraped off the bottom of the treads is. I think it used to be a chaos champion. Artificial Intelligence? Well we have a guy with binoculars who points at crap with a sword that he wants dead. Oh, you've perfected your design over thousands of years? That's cool. We've been using the same tank for 10,000 years because if it ain't broke, why fix it? Hell, it wasn't even a tank to begin with, we just took a scary looking tractor and started strapping guns and armor to it. That's right, your filthy xenos go karts you call "tanks" are getting ripped apart by tractors with a cannon bolted to the top.
Go ahead Dakka, tell me there is a manlier tank than the Leman Russ. You weedy xenos are welcome to try, but I'm pretty sure your inferior minds cannot handle the glory that is the Leman Russ Main Fething Battle tank.
Use whatever logic you want. You obviously will never top the glorious badassery that is the Leman Russ.
Anything with a gun and armor on it. Feel free to come up with whatever ridiculous reasons you wish to justify your "reasoning". Eldar tanks, ork tanks, space marine tanks, etc. etc. As long as it has a gun on it and can't get killed by a lasgun, we'll let it be called a tank for the purposes of this.
And no, I'm not drunk, just wanted to start a fun thread for guys to talk tanks and have some laughs.
As for the baneblade, that thing aint made out of a friggin tractor. -20 manly tank points.
Paitryn wrote: and the baneblade would be less manlier how?
The Baneblade functions well because of it's design, not in spite of it. That makes it less manly since the LRBT tells tank designers/fans to go blow their techno mumbo jumbo out of their behind. It has destroying to do.
EDIT: And by Tank designers/fans, I mean Hunterindarkness. Your logic means nothing to the manliness of the LRBT!
Manlier tanks? Hrm...Leopard IIs in the context of Wargame: European Escalation and Steam Tanks in the context of Warhammer Fantasy probably count; within Warhammer I'd say Falcons and their variants, by virtue of being less well-armored while (at least by Forge World's figures) being capable of high-altitude flight at at least 800kph. This may be a matter of personal preference, but zooming around at absurd speeds burning holes in your foe with laser cannons and dodging return fire (since a few good hits will down your vehicle) is much, much manlier than sitting in a stationary bunker shooting people with artillery shells.
It's an RV from hell. If you want a tractor with crude, greasy and loud guns on it. it beasts the Leman Russ hollow. Lemans are only good for Looted Wagons, in an Orks's mind.
How many non-apoc tanks can mount four rocket launchers (or machine guns if that's your preference), a battlecannon and a lightning-cannon that has the same odds of killing you as playing russian roulette with a rotary grenade launcher, plus a roller blade you can use to kill TITANS with?
Plus have a potential cargo capacity of 20 (less of you take the cannon)
Plus power steering and suspension do not come standard. Those are for wimps. The thing is muscled around by hand, is sure as hell not an auto-transmission and brakes only when it's out of fuel or plowed so deep into a mountain that the roof is buckling.
Plus a red one really does go faster (popular male myth that)
Only one
Best tank, not really.
Manliest? By a mile.
Plus it just plain looks beastlier

Redneck engineering at its best. Hell the thing can be patched together from a burning, near wrecked hulk worth a roll of duct tape and a few nails by a hamfisted auto-mechanic in mid battle, and still hold up to the best a Leman can throw out.
Really? The manliest tank in the universe isn't even a superheavy? It's a pitiful little scrap pile that would be crushed under the treads of a true tank? The real answers, in ascending order of manliness:
Stormsword. The Stormsword does not care about your building. The Stormsword does not care about your armor save. The Stormsword does not care about your "you can't fit all of us under your template" nonsense. You are simply dead.
Macharius Vulcan. Three words: Vulcan. Mega. Bolter.
Valdor. Really huge gun that your girlfriend just cheated on you for? Check. Unstable and poorly shielded reactor to leave room for a bigger gun? Check. Overloads its weapon so badly that it has a decent chance of destroying itself with every shot? Check. Looks so sexy that you cheated on your girlfriend with it? Check.
Marbo's Caestus Assault Ram. It's a flying tank that melta blasts everything in its path, rams you to death, and then deploys Marbo to finish off anything that somehow survived. Oh yes, and it was hiding right behind you the whole time.
Not bad, but it's severely hindered by the fact that it can't transport Marbo.
Apocalypse. Bam.
edit: it IS a transport. Huh.
I have no clue about that. But worst come to worse, just stuff him in the barrel, he should fit just fine. Best of all, it allows for HIGH SPEED ARMOUR PIERCING MARBO DELIVERY.

Bull; The vidicator wins hands down; It's a fething TankDozer. It's job is to basically crash through a wall, and then fire a cannon into the hole it made. A cannon whose explosion is big and strong enough to melt your own tank, but you dont care cause you're entire front side is covered with twelve inch thick plate of steel, and then armor behind that for good measure.
I'm fairly certain that instead of a steering wheel, you drive the vindicator with a cigar and a straight razor.

I wonder how many vindicators the Angry Marines have..
Wait. A cigar?
CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED
Normally I would say the Valdor. You know it has the most phallic gun of all 40k.
but in the last weeks that changed. Now there is the Cerberus which has 3 you heared me 3 phallic guns. The only thing that could top that would be a gigantic phallic rotary cannon!
My money is on the baneblade too, though the eldar nightspinner earns a lot of points for it's bales of monofilament wire as a more sauve, metropolitan, man.

Nope. Manliest tank in the game is an Imperial Leviathan (also known as the Capitol Imperialis). It's from Epic 40K and some variants have a landing pad on top and a standard transport bay that can carry a company of troops.
It's like someone decided that if a Baneblade is compared to a Leman Russ, something should be compared that way to a Baneblade.
Look at this thing. Look at this mother****ing thing. Everyone talks about amount of guns, so what do we do? We strap a gun bigger than the vehicle itself on top of it. People would say "That's too big" or "it would topple over!" or "Why are you stabbing me in the face?!", but we don't care, because that what we do. The vehicle might rattle itself appart because we cobbled it out of everyone else's scrap and held it together with spit and squig glue, but can you say you made something this awesome? Heck no. And you know what? we can strap 5 more guns to it, just because it amuses our tiny brains.
Purplefood, that "fix" to my original post was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. I almost choked I was laughing so hard.
Also, apocalypse needs a Marbo formation. Something like you deploy 20 Marbos, and they all act like a real Marbo, to better represent Marbo's abilities on the table. Obviously, there is only one Marbo, but we put down 20 models to show that he is everywhere at once.
Screw it, marbo is the manliest tank in the universe /thread
Ailaros wrote: I gotta say, some of that ork stuff does look pretty good.
That said, the baneblade is, indeed, less manly. What kind of a pansy needs to hide behind all of that armor?
Real men don't.
The Baneblade has weaker side armor than the Russ IIRC. And a lot more guns. And it's a lot more conspicuous through size alone. Add the monstrous side arc, and I'd say it's just as manly as the Russ. I'd call it a tie.
Please! Manliest tank in the universe is the Squat Cyclops!...Go look it up...that thing strapped a Starship cannon to the main hull and blows Imperator titans off of the map! Nothing more manly than that!
Origionally designed with the chassis from a mining vehicle. A gun as long as a city block. Void shields surround it, The Iquisition wanted it so bad they engineered the fake destruction of the Squat race just so they could make sure no one else knew they existed because it's so manly!

I concur, but you can have 20 or so marbos to form MECHAMARBO! With his powers combined, the entire galaxy is doomed. Too bad he dosent follow orders.
Str10/AP1 Cannon? Sure. Oh, 7" blast? Awesome. Fires multiple-tonne shells that liquefy flesh, armor, and ignore cover? Nice.
Yeah, I guess the Typhon is pretty manl- Oh, there's more?
You say it's so heavy and reinforced, to withstand the recoil of its own massive gun, that it simply ignores all difficult and dangerous terrain? Just says "Honey (typhon) badger don't care 'bout lava, I'ma roll over it anyways." Oh, it always rams at Str10AP2? Why? Feth me, that's why?
Huh. I guess the Typhon is manly. Must be like, the second manlie-WHAT THERE'S MORE???
You bet there is. You can put not one, but two sponsons on it. One on EACH side. Heavy bolter OR lascannon, big guy. Because you shave against the grain, with a fireaxe.
Leman Russ? Pfff. Manliest? HAHAHA! It's so manly to hide behind AV 14 like a poor, crying baby, afraid of the eeeeeeeeevil enemy.
Well, fits to the IG theme!
Manliest tank obviously is the CCB. Takes a lot of badassery to mount an open vehicle built for just ONE passenger, riding straight into your death (as you WILL die after the first attack).

Well that's what the Leman Russ Demolisher is for!
Demolisher don't care about no walls. WALLS BOW BEFORE IT AND ITS DOZER BLADE.
And it has 3 other murder-happy guns to back up it's armor 14 slab of PURE MANLY.
Or the Punisher, like a Demolisher, but its job is replacing the air around you with BULLET. People become a red mist! Mist becomes finer, bullet-riddled mist!
Armor? Guns? Dakkafex!! Its hide is living armor, and with the right upgrades it can regen, not get pummeled by a single lascannon, and it has a fething mace attached to it. It can barrel through walls, and eats other tanks. Truly a manly tank. Real tanks bleed acid.

I'm not sure which tank is the manliest, but thee are some pretty manly tanks out there.
Space Marines have both the Vindicator and the Land Raider Crusader/Redeemer. The Vindicator is basically a metal box with a snow plow and a BFG on the front that has one purpose, to get in close to the enemy and tear them a new one. The Crusader/Redeemer has a similar purpose, to drive a bunch of angry super soldiers up close so they can hit things with giant hammers.
Orks scream manliness in their vehicles. The Battlewagon is a lot like a Land Raider, but it carries green gorillas with guns, literally runs on blood and vinegar, and can have a gun that SHOOTS LIGHTNING mounted on it. A surprisingly underrated vehicle in terms of manliness is the basic Ork Trukk. No it doesn't have big guns or thick armor like some of the other contenders, but a real man doesn't need for his ride to prove his manliness, he does that on his own, by riding into battle at over 100km/h on a ramshackle sheet of corrugated iron with wheels.
Eldar have a pretty manly tank too, the Forge World Cobra Super Heavy Grav tank. It is litteraly just a platform for a giant cannon which tears a hole in reality each time its fired.
I think everyone is forgetting the Deathstrike missile launcher. THE DEATHSTRIKE! IT HAS DEATH IN THE NAME! It is an ICBM. Do you know what you do with ICBMs? You fire them from half a planet away. Not the Deathstrike. THEY FIRE IT STRAIGHT AT YOU! THEY FIRE A MISSILE LIKE A MAN FIRES A GUN! WHEN THEY CAN SEE YOU! WHEN THEY CAN SEE YOUR FEAR THAT, YES, YOU ARE PROBABLY GOING TO DIE IN A MASSIVE FIREBALL! ALL THE WHILE SMOKING CIGARS, BARE KNUCKLE BOXING AND PLANNING HOW TO USE THAT NEW FIREBALL TO MAKE SOME BBQ!

I would like to point out that the Capitol Impetialis is not the same as a leviathan, and the cap sucks. I played a three on four where I had all 15,000 pts of my guard out yesterday and the cap with 8 structure points and 6 void shields died in one turn of shooting, not worth 1,600 pts ( and yes I made a cap).
I agree, a manly man dosent just do something stupid because he thinks it will kill him, the death part is of no consequence. If it is enough to impress hot babes, then the danger of the deed is merely a means to an end. YOLO is for people who want to pretend to be manly, YOLO is a personification of fear, because you are actively acknowledging it by saying it! manly men do not fear, they spit on fear and then use their own severed arm to beat it to death.
Creed dosent say YOLO, he simply puffs his cigar, laughs, then a Baneblade runs out of the clump of bushes behind you.
You calmly walk away from an explosion without looking back to be super manly. YOLOs will die in the explosion like a chump because they are a moron.
Manly = Smart, because you cant bang chicks when youre dead
YOLO= Moron, because being dead is sooooo cool
As such, id like to promote the CAESTUS ASSAULT RAM as the manliest of tanks, mostly because instead of a gun, it uses its face to destroy its foe, then cover it in a tasty Terminator sauce.

Naw, that's just a subtle hint at the fact that always staying safe will not get you anything in live and certainly isn't "manly" at all. Can't remember our ancestors sitting at home, waiting for those animals to hop in the pan

Leman Russ Tank Destroyer, it's an Uberphalis on treads. Secondary weapons, I have no need for your puny secondary weapons once I fire my white hot load of DEATH!
The Necron Doom Ark might win, since it's a giant penis strapped between the pilots legs
But the pilot is an emotionless robot
Then there's the Ordinatus, a rolling factory with a gun the size of a building.
And yes some nutter tried this in 28mm
Finally there is a HUGE tank I'm trying to find, it was a black imperial super heavy. Basically a rolling cathedral with leman russ turrets and stained glass and impailed guardsmen on it. Done in the early 2000s before a lot of the bits and kits we have now even existed. Can anyone find it?
My manly tank of choice is the Malcador Defender. As old, if not much much older than the venerable Russ tank, mounts a demolisher cannon, sponson weapons such as lascannons, autocannons, heavy bolters and heavy flamers, and a bunker on top with 5 heavy bolters for a 360 degree arc of fire. The beast is designed to go right through the wall of the enemy fortress and act as a mobile bunker laying down covering fire all around it.
And I own one, along with a Macharius VMB, 2 baneblades, one hellhammer and two other baneblade chassis tanks.
If we're getting into wang measuring competitions the Great Gargant 'belly gun' deserves an honorable mention, as does the Snapper Gargant's signiature weapon.
Obviously, the most manly tank would be the Dais of Destruction..You are riding around in an aerodynamic cardboard box carrying three lances that make Land Raiders cry. Armour? What the feth is armour? We have slave girls as meat shields instead. Did I mention it's being driven by the greatest pimp in space ever? He won't even wait until the battle's over to start 'celebrating'. And if you all insist on bringing in phallic objects, need I remind you what the old Incubi had mounted to their helmets? Was it - another phallic cannon? Not to mention that that prow-mounted dark lance could score many a penetrating hit?
Look at your tank. Now look at me. Now look at your tank. Now look at me. Now back to your tank, now back to me. Sadly, your tank isn't me. But he could be like me if he had slave girls. And spiky black armour. And a space pimp. And two professional killers with crazy helmets and giant swords riding shotgun.
Your tank will never have that. So just give up now.

If I could glue guardsmen to the front of my tank for a coversave I would do it in a heartbeat.

I unmake you at the atomic level. I unbind your atmoic structure, I tear apart the fabric of reality around you. I reduce you to the basic elemental components of matter. I do this all from an enormous, tank mounted vibrator, and if I somehow fail to satisfy your desire to be un-made, I un-make myself in shame.
I am no mere tank, no mere destroyer, I am a karmic balancer. I ensure manliness prevails, for should my own manliness fail to overcome that of my enemies, I destroy myself, paving the way for continued, greater manliness.

The CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT is the love interest of Spiderman.
It also helped defeat Sauron
and... It IS Spiderman which coupled with the first one is not only mind bending but also Manly because it's the cool Spiderman. (In spoiler 'cos the image is freaking massive)

tfw guard have been doing this for two editions, in the form of bubble-wrap.
Our guardsmen are manly for trying to step infront of anti-tank weapons, and our tank-commanders are manly for telling guardsmen to eat anti-tank rounds so their ride can keep wrecking face.
This says "I have manhood issues" and it was conceived by the Third Reich no less....
The LAND KREUSER Pz1000 RATTE (wait for the day this launches on World of tanks and everyone has kittens!!)
Even 40k cannot match this, this is an order of magnitude bigger than a Baneblade....It's in 15mm Scale, this thing is more like an Ordinatus than a tank.
Oh yes, so there was. Really, that was an Artillery Battery...
Artillery...
Wait...
I think the Basilisk is the manliest tank ever. No armour to hide behind, with a gun that could launch the operators, right on the front line, and manually aimed.
40K version of the PZ1000 would probably be a small city on tracks with battleship lance projectors and artillery cannons poking out in a few dozen places.
Go for Chimera's though - you know your going to die as soon as you get hit but you still charge the enemy in your tin can.
PFfffft, that tank? Manly? Puuuhhhlleeease, you can get any coward to get into that thing and drive it. I mean, it has all this advanced armor and weapons. It takes a man with REAL balls of steel to get into a Leman Russ!

Well if you are talking balls of Steel, Courageous, Manly, definitely gonna die but don't care, then.....Grot Tanks win.
It's basically a "Shop-a-mobility" Cart with a steel plate around it. Stephen Hawking probably qualifies as a Grot Tank.

Leman Russ Battle Tank is in second at 15,810 manlies.
I don't know if my Exorcists should be called manly, but even manly men feel like crying when Wraithlords and entire Terminator squads disappear in one salvo.
That just proves that the Spess Mahreens are compensating for lacking the sheer cast iron balls of the guardsmen. They Jelly of the Russ, for they all aspire to live up to their spiritual tank leader, and yet they despair, for they could never be Leman Russ drivers.

The Gorgon is far more manly; open topped, so you might smell the promethium burning, and feel the the refreshing zing of shrapnel, and equipped with not one, but two single-use mortars! It's manliness is so certain, it doesn't even need reloads.

New plan. Someone needs to make an epic-scale CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT so we can make a PRAETOR AMOURED ASSAULT LAUNCHER that fires CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORTS instead of missiles.
Now, I have to admit that the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT is a worthy tank, but give some respect to the Gorgon. It's a WWII landing craft on tank tracks. Now, why would someone need their tank to be a boat? Because the Gorgon is designed to drive through the sea of blood and corpses of its enemies, floating on the blood of the damned until it smashes into its target, lowers its assault ramp, and deploys 50 screaming guardsmen to butcher anything in their path.
Meanwhile the poor troops in the CAAT crawl meekly out of the back and wish they had been given such a manly transport.

You mean 30 seconds of awesomeness! Certainly better than the other ones.
The Land Before Time XX: Best 30 seconds of your life.
The Dominus Seige Bombard and the Preator Assault Launcher are weapons carrying variants of the Crassus.
The Crassus is an enclosed version of the Gorgon.
The Gorgon and Crassus are the transport versions of the Macharius.
Ergo - Macharius is the manilest tank because without it none of the others would exist.
Oh which then Vulcan is the bestest because it carries a Titan weapon with only 20 seconds worth of ammo even with all the storage bins stuffed to capacity!
The CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT and the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT are CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT carrying CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT of the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT

I think that will fix it for the followers
It'd make one hell of a messiah.
"Oh, yours died on a cross? That's cool. My messiah is a 100 ton land battleship that crushes the souls of the unfaithful beneath it's holy treads. ALL HAIL THE CRASSUS ARMORED ASSAULT TRANSPORT!"
Whilst the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT is clearly a very manly vehicle, it does not hold a candle to "The Spike" from Necropolis by Dan Abnett.
How is it manly you say? BECAUSE THEY MOUNTED A GUN RESERVED FOR A CAPITAL STARSHIP ON A ROLLING PYRAMID! AND THEN GAVE IT EVEN MORE GUNS!
But of course the true manliest tank is clearly the Leman Russ MBT... with a Land Raider belonging to the Blood Angels coming a close second because Blood Angel Land Raider drive logic is as follows
"I can't keep up with the rest of the army... I know, I'll have myself launched from a transport aicraft several thousand feet up travelling at speeds greater than the speed of sound!"
1. Has a plasma cannon bigger than a Leman Russ Vanquisher
2. Open topped turret
3. Gun will probably explode after firing once, and is very fragile
4. Did i mention the turret is open topped, with a big, fragile gun that goes Kabluey!
4. Crew has balls that are harder than Eternity Gate x100,000,000 to be even near this tank.
Definitely the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT- the actual contest worth entering is second manliest, which for me is a tie between the fortress of arrogance:
... I hope I don't have to explain why, and the warmaul fellblade made by Machinator:
...because there's no such thing as "too much dakka".

See the front part of the huge track carrying the Ork kannon (in red) ? That's the size of your castle tank. So add a second one in the back, plus a humongous cannon in-between them, and you got the mega Ork tank, dwarfing your puny castle tank.
OMG my dream come true, other people read things that I do. Berserk is by far my most favorite manga and the fact that someone would actually post a picture from it makes me feel all CRASSUS ARMORED ASSAULT TRANSPORT inside.

It's your coolest tank, that we blew up, recovered, strapped the biggest gun we could find to and then attacked you with before we even fully figured it out.
Only the manliest men are going to hop into something that will randomly lurch forward into whatevers in front of it with wet toilet paper armor and a really really big gun

I could argue that because the orks don't know what they're riding in, they lose manliness points. I reckon a part of manliness is not just being a badass who couldn't give a crap how dangerous what he does is, but knowing just how dangerous that is- orks don't have that (even meks).
Matt.Kingsley wrote: No, most smarter orks DO understand the danger, they just don't give a feth.
Remember, orks aren't afraid of death. So most dangers (like ramshackle vehicles) mean nothing to them.
Of course, the enemy can. Unless 10 of your mates are with you!
smarter orks understand the danger, sure, but there's a difference between riding in a dangerous vehicle and riding in a duct-taped death trap which is probably going to kill more friendlies than enemies- orks aren't manly, they're insane.
Part of being manly is fearing that something will kill you but doing it anyway.
aye, it's the same concept of bravery- bravery isn't not fearing something, but overcoming that fear. (To me, manliness and bravery are similar, just manliness is more physical and requires proper beard hair).
@theangrysquid We boyz gotta stikk togetha so wez can show these puny races whoz boss. Anyway jus cuz we don 'ave the part don mean we arent manly, it jus means we don have the weakness of women!
i take your gun that takes up the whole turret, and give you a gun thats longer than our tank, not because it has to be but because we like big guns (railgun the answer to all)
not enough armor, we can hide behind a bush and you cant even see us (disruption pods four a 2+ cover save)
ur a tractor, trackors don't fly, hammerheads do (skimmer for the win)
you can move and shoot ur battle cannon, we can move twice as far and do the same (multi-tracker, shoots like a fast skimmer)
we take your leman russ, make it bigger, lighter, strap on some thrusters and some anti-grave bits, and one of the few non apoc guns that truly is the answer all to anything, no special rules need, just a stat line...

I don't know if this is just me, but everytime I've seen a hammerhead in person, it's *ahem* firepower, is a little... droopy. Like it lacks motivation, or has performance anxiety or something.
And look at how skinny it is. Everybody knows the width's more important than the length. That's why the Leman Russ is the real lady killer

Hammerheads aren't manly- certainly, the manliest Tau tank, but that's not saying much Basilisks are very manly- firing a ridicu-huge artillery gun in not only an open-topped vehicle, but open-walled too- they're basically standing on some sheet metal in the open on the back of a large battlefield target. Manly motherfethers...
I'm very sorry guys, but your all wrong. Very, very wrong.
Now i'm not a SM fanboi, and i am in fact an Ork player; However, Manliest tank in the Universe has to go to...
It's a freaking Tank that can walk up and punch you in the face. Nothing manlier than that!
And to seal the deal, it's crewed by 1 guy who has been beated/poisioned/mutilated till an inch of death, and kept alive by the skin of his teeth.

Anything with a gun and armor on it. Feel free to come up with whatever ridiculous reasons you wish to justify your "reasoning". Eldar tanks, ork tanks, space marine tanks, etc. etc. As long as it has a gun on it and can't get killed by a lasgun, we'll let it be called a tank for the purposes of this.
Fits the criteria though. It has armour and guns, and can't be killed by a lasgun, so it is technically a walking tank xD

Do the space wolf variants have beards and side burns? If they do they're far more manly than anything.
Nothing with the proportions of that thing is manly. It can get knocked over by a stiff fart...and that is not manly. The Contemptor on the other hand....

- Basilisk (no cover for crewman, huge gun)
- Malcador Infernus (light armoured vehicle with a ridiculously huge flamethrower)
- Praetor armoured assault launcher (just like a CRASSUS, but sacrifices the bunkery goodness for a huge rocket piece)
- Gorgon armoured assault transport (again, like a CRASSUS, but ditches the armour for a bit of fresh air- ironically commonly used by the death korps)
- Ork Kill krusha (it's got so much dakka, there are turrets on the turrets on the guns- yo dawg...)

However, they apparently CAN be killed by lasguns if you go by dan abnett. It's mentioned twice in the first three books alone. At one point a guy shoots one through its visor and kills the occupant. In another, a scout overcharges his lasgun, causing it to explode and blow the entire front end of it off.

We're messing with you man. Go back and read a few pages of this thread. I don't think there's been a single genuinely serious post since the first page
Although seriously, we're just humouring you. This is a comical thread, after all. People have been far worse...
Anyway. I'm adamant that the Basilisk is the manliest. Seriously, it's a tank, with a platform built on top, with a gun larger than itself on the back. No armour or anything.
Imagine an astronaut, extinguishing a forest fire, in jeans and a lumberjack shirt, with a beard and moustache. Who is also a world fishing champion.
In the vein of a "man who brings a Knife to a Gunfight", one contributor put forward a Dreadnought in a tank discussion. I can live with all the other suggestions regardless of whether they are "strictly a Tank" because they all have Treads.
I will not take the "LORD ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT'S name in vein" but I believe the contributor has missed the entire premise of our collective endeavours.
I believe once this is settled, another "What is the manliest Walker thread" must be started...
Each faction should put forth their manliest tank and be judged for all the world to see.
I, again, put forth the humble Trukk for the the orks as riding that thing to do your shopping is manly enough but to ride that into battle needs balls of diamond coated steel.
*pulls out a chari to stand on*
I concede that orks do not have male parts but they reproduce from the collective manliness of their race, they exude manliness through their life and then a ton of it in their manly deaths to create more manly men that overwhelm all other manly sources around them. What vehicle better shows this level of manliness than one designed to get these manly men into a proper fight as fast as possible without regard to silly notions of safety of sanity? The trukk shows these ideals in abundance, it may not have many guns on it but it is in and of itself a weapon, and any who doubt it will feel the impact of its manliness as their oh so vaunted tank is reduced to rubble beneath our orky, kicking wheels!

I'm still waiting to see a picture of some guy converting a Doomsday Cannon so that it looks like its the driver's junk. I think that would at least make it a contendor.

And I would definitely agree the Basilisk is up there. That thing has been iconic to the Imperial Guard for quite a while.

Or you could just photoshop it in to take up the woefully underutilised groin on the CRASSUS ARMORED ASSAULT TITAN!
Also on an unrelated, we've been in the top 3-5 most popular threads on Dakkdakka since this thread started. Keep spreading the word boyz!
"Blood Angels Landraider is a "LANGUAGE moving Drop pod". Typical of the BA Codex, like Deep striking LR and Fast Tanks, despite the BA having no great reknown with vehicles unlike say the White Scars or the Ravenwing, but the Blood Angel Uber-dex is cheap and written by he-who-must-not-be-named" so saith the Transport

Brilliant idea: ANGRY MARINES CRASSUS ARMORED DOOMSDAY TITAN. Basically a CRASSUS ARMORED ASSULT TITAN piloted by Angry Marines with a Doomsday Cannon attached to the groin. It fires by making lewd thrusting gestures. It can also be used to make a special close combat attack, and allows the Angry Marines player to force any models within 24" to re-roll any morale check, successful or unsuccessful (depends on whether the Angry Marine pilot screams "I'M COMING FOR YOU NEXT #*&^#&^$&*#$^&#*^*" or "I DID THE SAME THING TO YOUR MOM LAST NIGHT")

Someone please make rules and a model for this so I can bring it to my FLGS's next Apoc game

In that case, I'd like to put forward the Cyclops demolition vehicle- imagine an armour plated RC car filled with enough plastic explosive to destroy a squad of men or an enemy leman russ. It has treads, remember? because sometimes it isn't about a tank's strength or size, but about a tank's heart, and this little fella is prepared to blow himself to kingdom come to take on a tank far, far bigger than him. He's the David of the tank world- just with more explosives and death.
now let us all bow our heads in remembrance to the little guys who gave their little machine-spirit lives so that we may live.
you cannons. Oh, you have a large mob? A super advanced tank with all the special gubbins? Well, then,
