Say which one is your favourite tank and why.

**cheapbuster**

Need I say more?

**DEATH89**

Punisher!

Because all those shots just keep on bouncing off my marines

**VikingScott**

Vanquisher just for looks.
Although the old Ver. looked better.

**SaintHazard**

Punisher.

Because Heavy 20 in a non-apoc game is ridiculously stupid, and I love it.

Unless it's aimed at my Tau. Then I like it a lot less.

**iheartlargeblasttemplates**

Punisher is really not that great... BS 3 AP- and most units in cover its to expensive just buy a basilisk so it can kill lots of infantry and maybe a vehicle punisher is lacking...

anyway vanilla russ all the way! I run it Battle cannon and Lascannon it's legit at what ever i want it to do... except get klawed by nobs...

**Brettila**

I like the kind with a big, smoking hole in it, because my obliterators just put a round through it!

Ok, but the question was what is your favourite type, not what type do you think is the best.

**sniperjolly**

Well, speaking as a long time armoured company, I am torn between the vanilla and the demo. The vanilla is like tac squads to an armoured list, it is basically everything else, but with the most basic gun. They are delisious. That said, the demolisher is one of the few "Ace of All Trades" units in the game if you can manage to get it in range, and it is an anti everything deathstick. I leurve it, as much as people say that the Executioner is better, I only have one plasma tank, but I have three demolishers!

Though going by the visuals alone, my Gryphon IV Vanq command tank is Pimp, and as such the pride of my (non superheavy, non primarch) collection.

**CaragaraPDF**

the Battle tank. Its Simple but when it shoots all that happens is, Target, Template Scatter, Remove models.

**Nurglitch**

I love the Eradicator because of the Kids in the Hall sketch by the same name, and the fact that the tank itself is similarly a hilarious punchline.

**Mattlov**

I cannot vote, because "Destroyed" is not an option...

**GoDz BuZzSaW**

I love the executioner because i love Plasma and the fact that an executioner can have 5 Plasma cannon shots can really do damage to terminators and MEQ's for guard. I like the look of the model too as i prefer it to other Tanks of the imperium even though i hate Guard...

**Melissia**

The executioner. Mmm, plasma cannons.

**Ruckdog**

I voted Vanquisher, as it is my favorite tank from a looks and concept perspective. My converted one came out pretty well, too! Now, on the table, it has been a bit underwhelming, but at least it fails with style

.

**rogersss**

I dont get why so many people dont like the exterminator!

**SaintHazard**

Because there are much cheaper and more effective ways to get autocannons into a Guard regiment.

Hydras, Sentinels, HW teams, for example.

**rogersss**

sentinal is probaly the least effective way to have auto cannons and heavy weapons teams cant move and fire.

Although Hydras are good

**SaintHazard**

Why the hate for Sentinels?

I agree that they're not the best FA choice, but at least they can get some autocannons into your army without taking up a valuable HS slot.

**Mattieau**

It changes frequently but at the moment, the executioner. Just love that plasma.

**A-P**

Stock Russ.

**Slick**

A leman fuss is like a can of coke, you can make any changes to it you want but at the end of the day you can never go wrong with the classic original flavor

**Sanctjud**

I would say the LRBT...just cause it's 'Old Reliable'...

**Superscope**

Can't go wrong with ya large blast from a trustworthy Leman Russ

**Valkyrie**

Love the Executioner, 10 S7 Ap2 Blasts make the opponents brick themselves.

Oops, I meant 5, but I was referring that I have two, I forgot to mention that.

**JSK-Fox**

I love the smell of 5 plasma balls of termie death in the morning.

**Brotherjulian**

Ececutioner... In the (what 4th ed?) rules when heavy bolter could fire as defensive weapons, I built my first Executioner as a Nid killer. Plasma Destructor and three heavy bolters.
I usually play chaos opponents though, and as they tend to come to me I use a demolisher with plasma sponsons now

**GoDz KI11JOY x**

The ones that blow up best.
