What is your favorite vehicle in the space marine army?

Mine is the vindicator. I never play a battle without it. It is good dependable firepower, and it's flexible. It works as anti-troop or anti-tank.

**whalemusic360**

Land Raider Cruisader. It can take terminators in it amd shoot stuffs!

**reds8n**

I'm stupidly fond of both the Predator and Vindicator versions, the latter edging it in my current gaming situations.

**hcordes**

i have an unhealthy love for the Razorback. sad but true.

**Catyrpelius**

It depends, is an artillary peice considered a vehicle if so then my favorite is a Thunderfire Cannon. If it isnt then Id have to go with a Predator with an autocannon and heavy bolters, 85 points of tanky doooooom.

**daedalus-templarius**

Landraiders.

I have 4 of them: Stock, LRC, GKLRR, and Terminus Ultra

Me too.

**Pipboy101**

The best tank for the points for me is the reliable Rhino no matter SM or CSM.

**Sergeant Horse**

My personal favourite lately has been a predator with autocannon and Lascannon sponsoons, wrecks light tanks and monsters and can hurt infantry a bit too.

I find my LRC dies easily, so i never depend on it. And my vindy suffers a weapon destroyed in every game!

**Chongara**

Well, I play SWs here is my take:

Razorback is probably my favorite . It has a nice guns on it and doesn't eat up my FOC slots. For the price of 5 Grey Hunters I can get a better weapon than I would buying 5 guys to make a 10-squad for the 2nd free weapon so it's very affordable. They act as a transport, which I need anyway and fit a 6 man squad (Long fangs, of 5 Grey Hunters and a Wolfguard/IC) just perfectly. Finally since you can take them with so many different units, it's not hard to put a lot of them down and redudancy is a good thing.

A close 2nd is the rhino. It's dirt cheap, carries a fair amount of dudes and has a fire point for my rune priest to poke his and head out of and zap things. Since it shares the same AVs with the Razorback it further spreads the heat from the weapons that want to be shooting at them.

I also like Vindicators and AC/HB predators. They both do their jobs very well at a reasonable price point but they eat my precious Heavy Support slots, which I need for my long fangs.

**Bloodfrenzy187**

I like the Baal Predator it can do decent damage to foot soldiers and can move fast also.

**rogueuk**

i like the landraider. i have afew tanks and my vindicator always dies on me and doesnt do much but i suppose it would be second because of the anti tank/horde us

**Melissia**

Why limit yourself to just Space Marine vehicles?

I prefer the Armored Sentinel, myself.

**zeshin**

My favorite tank? Land Raider Crusader (but only in black with a giant white cross on it).

My favorite vehicle on the other hand would be any Marine Dreadnought with a DCCW. (I know their "walkers" but I love 'em)

**Melissia**

If I had to stick with purely Marine ones it'd be a tie between the predator with AC/HBs, and a dread with 2xTLACs.

**micahaphone**

What about land speeders? You can take 9 of them! Nine! think about it! besides if you do the old mm/hf w/ Vulkan, you get extra spammy/pyromania doom!

Oh if we can go more general then yeah, Im LR all the way. I have 7 for my DA alone. 3 Standard, 2 Crusaider, Terminus, and a Helios!

Well they're cool, but they're not exactly tanks which at least according to the title is what the OP was looking for.

**JSK-Fox**

Sometimes, dread is better.

**Gamble**

My favorite SM vehicle is the Blood Angel Razorback with TL Assault Cannon. I like that is can move fast and still fire at just about any target and deliver a decent payload. The only limit is range, but the fast movement makes up for it a bit.

**cormz**

Predator, i think is my fav for now.

**Vindicator#9**

Let me think about this one........

I love my triple vindis with DP. So what if the Cannon is destroyed that thing is great for tank shocking and ramming. Not to mention shaken and stunned results are useless on it makes the DP well worth it for an Ordanance weapon so it only scatters an extra inch. Second favorite is the Pred. with Auto./Las. loadout as it has the range for a good AT heavy slot. Starting to run triple preds. with that loadout and so far so good.

**TyraelVladinhurst**

call me old school but Saber tank hunter.... ah how i miss thee

**sniperjolly**

As an IG armoured company player, I look down with scorn at almost all SM tanks. The Rhino however, garners my grudging respect.

I love me some hot dread or speeder action, though.

**Grey Templar**

Land speeder typhoons. heavy bolter and 2 missiles on a fast skimmer platform for the same cost as a 5 man tac squad with no upgrades.

**Wolf Priest Ranek**

Hi! its me the OP. I am seeing lots of people interpriting my original post as tanks only, but if you look at my original post you will see I said vehical not tank. Ty. See ya.

**Yak9UT**

FW venerable dreadnought for me they look awesome and are tougher then normal dreds.

**Roleplayer**

Autocannon/Heavy Bolter Pred.

best firepower for points in the standard codex. Much better than a hit or miss vindicator.

**sevend3f**

Bah. Vintage Predator is total awesomesauce.

Although I really like the Rhino (with 10 grey hunters and two meltas inside!)

**Mr. Burning**

I miss being able to choose a Leman Russ for Wolves.
However, I do like razorbacks and rhinos,
