I didn't see to much of this, but Kans and Dreads would do a number on one since the S6 talons would be hard pressed to hurt them enough to prevent their S10 shots back tearing it apart.

I think you'd be better off not engaging it at all. It is subject to rage, so just have a biker or a thickly-armored unit run rings around it untill you're ready to take it down.

Im of the mind that if it has to be dealt with, shoot it, or send a group of Kans/Dreds at it. Id prefer the shooting method personally. Yet another reason why I have 2 rokkits in every boyz mob as well as the PK nob

Wrecker balls is a cool idea but I think the wrecker ball upgrade is no good. Too situatiuonal. The boarding plank is better.

Reading is carefully, it says if neither vehicle moved more than 12 inches. Most vehicles can't move that far anyways. A red paint trukk or wagon can move 13 and count as moving 12 inches. Send ghazzie or a PK nob (or meganob) over and punch it.

Just don't forget that even if all you do is immobilize it, you've largely neutralized it as a threat as it can no longer assault.

Yes, or stun it, shake it. They're all good results.

Destroying the weapon is the 2nd best result to actually destroying it. No DCCW? No threat.

Get a cheapo unit to ragebait it and/or glance it to oblivion (or until you nuke the weapons/stun it/immobilise it).

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Excerpt from "Seeress of Kell", Book Five of The Malloreon series by David Eddings.
