My choice:

WH Inquisitor Lord w/ Inferno Pistol + Eviscerator and Inquisitorial Mandate
3x Warriors w/ Melta guns
3x Acoltye's w/ Inferno Pistols

Inside LR

2x TL Lascannon Ranged
TL Heavy Bolter Ranged
7 melta shots Ranged
5 s6 2d6 armour pen in cc

**Gornall**

Firedragons ftw. All have meltas, meltabombs, and can be given tank hunter.

**phantommaster**

Crap, I was going for them but I forgot they had Melta bombs.

They win every time then.

**Dashofpepper**

I'd go with a three suit team of broadsides. STR10 AP1 72" board-clearing range that can be independently targeted (target lock) and is twin-linked.

**statu**

5 Wolf Scouts, with Meltabombs and a Meltagun, costs bout 110pts and always seems to bust plenty of tanks

**Commander Endova**

I'd go with a Devastator squad with 4 lascannons, 5 ablative wound dudes, and a sergeant with a meltabomb and a signum. Prohibitively expensive, but for pure infantry-based tank busting power, you cant beat 4 lascannons, (one going at BS5) or a meltabomb and 9 krak grenades in any given assault phase.

**SlaveToDorkness**

Three words= Deathstrike Missile Launcher

2d6 radius S10 Ord blast hitting everything under it with full strength.

**LunaHound**

Im a fan of Vendettas , 3 TL lascannon is nice

This man speaks truth.

**Jackmojo**

Add 6 marker drones too (although of course those are only good within 36 inches).

**ssREV**

Farsight with 7 bodyguards, all bodyguards armed with twin-linked fusion blasters and a missle pod, with hard-wired multi-trackers, hard-wired target locks, and a bunch of marker drones.

It isn't very points efficient, but theoretically you could take out 8 tanks. You can also use the dawn blade on a tank if necessary.

Unfortunately not great against monoliths, because you can only glance with fusion blasters (no 2d6). Still, you might take it out.

**gojira316**

10 Combi-Melta Sternguard in a Drop Pod.

**nintendoeats**

A squad of either two tanks or one very big tank.

Glad to help.

**StarGate**

The Dark eldar Sniper squads, ten man squad with two dark lances, and two blasters, all for 110 points. Its 36 inch dark lance love , and 12 inch blaster lovin..

Ive killed more tanks, termies, crisis suits,bike, with squads like that.

Agreed. 3 Twinlink Railshots are to be dreaded. S10 AP1? Helloooooo! No armor is safe with that.

well...that is the DEFENITION of AP1...

**Nightrave**

I guess ill ask what do you mean by "best" you refering to capabilite? or Cost Efficency? or just plan all around? Zoanthropes and Carnifex's and Trygons can eaaaaat armour pretty good

But overall Firedragons win.

**Superscope**

Broadsides all the way. a 70 point 2 wound 72" str 10 ap 1 shooter that's twinlinked ;p

**Orlanth**

Stealthsuits with fusion guns, deep strike if needed, stealth, jump packs and meltaguns.

No close combat, but Tau dont care about that.

**Brother SRM**

10 TH/SS Terminators. If cost was no issue, then 10 Wolf Guard Terminators with chainfists and storm shields.

Or Lysander from Codex Marines. He's got it made.

**sniperjolly**

3 Leman Russ Vanquishers with lascannons and multimeltas, one with Pask. Beat it. You cannot. (I think, non-apocolypse, right? Elsewise, I would lay a 26 shot Str D smackdown from my -most expensive model in the game-)

Broadsides win for sheer ability to kill/cost ratio. About 80 points total (Since you have to buy some piece of wargear for each one to have - personally, mine use Targeting Arrays since I really only run 1 or 2 total) for a tank-clearing gun that can hit just about anywhere on the map, depending on board size. As much as Monoliths suck, they're really no harder to take down than Land Raiders.

Oh, and in terms of killing tanks, Broadsides make their points back in 1-2 kills. Plus, gotta love firing on open-topped 10 armor vehicles. Auto-pen, 3+ to destroy it.

**Morgrim**

I've found talos do a surprisingly good job peeling open landraiders. The trick is not getting shot up too badly on route. As far as fire magnet + 100 points vs whatever the landraider is, it can be pretty efficient in low points games.

**RaegMachine**

Tankbustas thxkbai

**Gwar!**

Logan Grimnar with 5 Multimelta Long Fangs, WG in Terminator Armour with CML and a Drop Pod.

Pod In, relentless because of Logan, hit rear armour of two tanks. Rejoice!

**Lorgar's_Blessed**

I'd have to agree with Gwar! the humping fox. Nothing much better than that. Then again, it's expensive, but you just pulped the crap out of those tanks from rear armor.

**phantommaster**

Had another idea: 3x Medusa's w/ Bastion Breacher Shells. S10 2D6 Armour pen +ap1.

Add Shaso' with twin link Fusion Blaster with 2 Marker Drones, for extra killy.

**Kirika**

Ranged I'd have to agree with Logan, 5 Multimelta Longfangs with Terminator with Cyclone and power fist. I faced up against that and it toasted two of my tanks then was a major pain in the neck in assault too.

The broadside squad is probably a bigger bang for your points though.

Assaultwise its crazy expensive but a brood of carnifex with rerolls to hit strength 9 2d6 penetration or the bloodthirster because he actually flys to catch vehicles and has high strength attacks.

**Valkyrie**

I would go for an IG Veteran squad with 3 Meltaguns, a Lascannon and a Demo Charge, all riding in a Vendetta.

That's:-
3 S8 Ap1 Melta shots
1 S8 Ap3 5" Blast
4 S9 Ap2 Shots, 3 of which are twin-linked

You could take a Squadron of 3 Vendetta's, and load up a squad of said Veterans in each one.
