I wish the ruleset was available to Chaos players as well but alas it was not to be.

I like it! Doesn't seem too overpowered to me. The 300 pts tag means I'm really only going to field this is 2000pts+ games and then your enemy should have more than enough tanks or monsterous creatures to deal with it. In my experience of using the LR variants I don't think people have to worry too much. I gonna built one!

Need more 's in my life!

I would think you could follow the Ares tutorial from GW and simply convert the Demolisher Cannon into a Thunderfire (with the barrel cover from a thunder fire or scratch it) and replace the Heavy Flamers with Multi-meltas.

Won't get nearly as nice looking a front plate but it would certainly work.

In actuality, this is not true.
As I said before, we had eight lascannons - two of which were twin linked- and were woefully underprepared. Of course, we weren't expecting them, either.
Could we build a list TO combat these monstrosities? Sure. If our opponent ens up playing something entirely different, though, our army is going to be horribly off-kilter.
The truth of the matter is that these models are not wel balanced for the points. Especially not against an "all comers" list.

I've already made the announcement to the other 3 guys in the group. If you list has these in it, you'll get a, "Congratulations. You win. Want to play again, with a different list?" That's a kind of static response to over-the-top stuff (like the FW Ork Big Mek that lets you take a stompa in non-Apoc games).

It seems like a fun tank to me. The tfc seems scary though, putting it on such a durable vehicle makes up for the fact it can't use indirect fire.

Has no one thought of using a load of meltabombs against it? they don't actually use the "melta" rule so will still kill it pretty well.

Many things (thought not always commonly used choices) can beat its armour fine. Most folks are fixated on its -1 to damage rolls, which I observe as making it still less tough versus penetrating hits, then the "only glance, holo-field Falcons" were previously.

The problem is that only certain things can kill it against one person's army it can be killable, but against other armies and entire races it is unkillable.
