The Toyota Hilux, making sure you rebels get there in style!
a toyota hilux is the Swiss army vehicle of the 21st century, it can mount any soviet built weapons platform in its bed. also works as a good troop transport to.
I kind of want to start an ork army based around the toyota hilux now....

They are sitting on a little metal balcony, that ISN'T EVEN ON THE TANK, and firing a fethhuge gun at essentially point-blank range.
And laughing while they do so. The shield isn't to protect them. The shield is just to brace the manliest of manly guns so it breaks the enemy instead of itself. That's how manly it is.

Where I play at, 36-240 you can direct fire, if you see your target you remove your BS, if you don't see it, its indirect fire and you don't remove your BS, under 36'' its always indirect (picture the gun doing a 85-90 degree angle with the ground)
52054
Post by: MrMoustaffa
Considering it can shoot things up to 20 feet away, 36" is pretty much point blank. And before 6th it used direct fire. Now it points its gun straight up and lets the shell have like a half minute of flight time to get to you.
Also, those old pictures they used for the boxart were awesome. I'm very sad that they discontinued that.

Not that it's any other race marking a tank bigger, it's space marine players making it bigger.

Correction:
Spare marine fanboys defiled the sacred Baneblade and created an ugly pile of guns that looks like something an ork would invent, and then called it a Fellblade.
Forge World got tired of this heresy, released a real Fellblade, and showed everyone what a proper manly tank looks like (an efficient and powerful killer capable of exploding less-manly tanks from across the store).
In short: buy a FW Fellblade and mourn for the souls of all the defiled Baneblades.

The fact that another chapter is less manly doesn't make the BA manly. They're narcissists who sit around obsessing over how pretty they are and crying if they suffer an ugly wound, while the real manly chapters are too busy killing stuff to care about how pretty their armor is.

Exactly. You worry about it. A more manly chapter would immediately find something else to kill. Or possibly feast on meat and beer. Which, by the way, is why the Space Wolves are far more manly than any pretty narcissist marine could ever dream of being.
Also, since when is this the "we're better at hitting you with swords" thread? This is the thread for TANKS. And the answer to this question is a Stormsword massacres the pitiful BA marines with a single shot and then grinds the survivors to death underneath its treads.

It's min range is 36"
Considering that 36 inches is roughly 53 meters to scale (if I did the math right)
And considering that the Earthshaker cannon can (comfortably) hit things 15km away. Converted, that's 10,009.5 inches (brought down to 40k scale).
That's not shooting across the board, or even shooting at another table, no, that's shooting at a board across the street.
And despite all that range, they move their guns at least within the 204 down to scale inches. That my friend, given the alternatives, is point blank, and why they are the manliest. They could shoot at you that far away, but they move in close, to hear the barrage hitting home and watching the carnage themselves.

A huge chest with a rather phallic battle cannon sticking out of it, varying numbers of digger claws to smash things apart, optional reaper autocannon / lascannon, and is posessed by a powerful daemon of the warp. Furthermore, it has enough armour and will to survive to give it 4 hp, a 5+ inv save, and can regenerate hp at the end of the turn, due to sheer awesomeness.

Nowhere in fluff is the Basilisk used as a frontline tank, and nowhere in fluff are the claimed attack-ranges substantiated. No need to get upset there, sport. Take a deep breath.

What? Two irrelevant statements, then an unsupported claim?
Oh wait. This is DakkaDakka, nevermind.
What? Somebody not understanding a gag thread?
Oh wait. Dakka Dakka newb.
As others have pointed out, it's all a joke. Calm down, it's all harmless fun...
Oh I understand it perfectly. I'm merely pointing out the flawed assumption that tabletop usage of units translates to canon in-universe stuff.
Also, calling someone a "newb" is pretty rude.

Calm down collius...
Anyway, I'm sorry. To be honest, you weren't all that polite either.
And no real tank actually participates in close-range combat, in all seriousness. That is relevant, as I'm saying that by your definition, most tanks aren't manly because in all practical sense, all tanks would be battling over some distance.

Not Rynn's Might!
And most likely not Pulpitek!

Except defilers, though they are walkers, so you're still right. [But they have battlecannons!!!  ]

and Leman Russ Eradicators, no? They're pretty much designed for cityfighting.

in 40k, lots of tanks are designed for close quarters simply for awesome points- if it was realistic, they'd be taking pot shots from streets away.
land raiders, vindicators, walkers, hellhounds, some leman russes, CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORTs, any ork vehicles... all are close quarters, but would never really exist IRL.

I know you are new collius so I'm going to be nice, but it's generally advisable to avoid being an ass until you've been around a while. I can refer you to some sources on how to do it properly if you would like

That's nothing!
When I was a kid we used to have to get up an hour before we went to bed and lick t'road clean!
And 'manly tanks' pale in comparison to the 2nd ed eldar war walker.
Real men
A) walk into battle
B) strap themselves to the front of the most rickety contraption a race that's been around since before the dawn of time could possibly devise. I mean they must have actually tried to to make it more 'explodey'.
Given that to the eldar, one eldar is worth 100,000 men, how manly must war walkers be?...

An eldar is worth 1/100,000 of a guardsman. Can you tell an Eldar to go run at a alien horror just to be butchered? Probably! That's because they have a bunch of pansy ass toys to protect their soft, bony behinds. Give them a crap rifle, crap armor and no powers and I'll guarantee you they'll book it as soon as their friend dies. A guardsman, though, will keep running at the alien horror and he'll do it with gumption! Only thing Eldar are good at is back stabbing, being jerks and judging other people. They are the high school girls of Warhammer 40k!
As for the war walker, it's not a tank. It's a walker. Even then the Sentinel is far more manly. You know why? It doesn't have a sissy shield like the war walker does! Don't even say the Falcon is manly. Cause it makes the Hammerhead look like the Rynn's Might.

I'm sorry to butt in gentlemen. First, allow me to say that the very act of reading this thread alone has increased my manliness by a factor of ten. Last week, my fiancee wouldn't even look at me and was too busy modelling her un-manly Eldar to even cook me dinner. Now, I am so manly that I cannot enter the house with good clothing on, for fear of it being ripped from my manly form. I've had to invest in a lot of cheap, rippable shirts gentlemen and for that I thank you all. HOWEVER! In all the discussions here on which Tank is indeed the manliest tank of all, only one of you have realised the truth. One meme. One picture that I am sure you've all seen. One picture posted not long ago, that was ignored. One picture that PROVES beyond a shadow of a doubt which tank is the Manliest. I have to tell you gentlemen, it is not our Messiah THE CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT. Manly though it might be it is not the manliest. Nor is it Rynn's Might. A tank so manly that it destroyed a whole Ork horde without even a MAN to drive it! NOR... is it the giant flamerthrower tank (although that is pretty fething manly). We come full circle my friends. This picture proves it. It is the Manliest Thing on the Internet. Manlier even than Chuck Norris and Magnum PI in a Bear Wrestling contest. Manlier than if Morgan Freeman and Barry Whites voices had sex and had a child that they named Sergeant Guns McPain. Be careful my friends... Clicking that button may overwhelm you with manliness if you are not prepared. There is nothing manlier than that and I will duel anyone who says otherwise. Pistols at 20 paces.
