What is the best heavy support option in 40k. Is it an SM land raider crusader, or a Tyranid trygon  . In my opinion it is the IG baneblade. What does everyone else think?

Imperator Titan.
They don't get much heavier.

It is best to be a pessimist. You are usually right and, when you're wrong, you're pleasantly surprised. |

Well, technically Titans aren't Heavy Support. They can only be used in apocalypse, which doesn't use the FOC.

Oh, I know about the lack of Titans in a standard 40K table-top force. I might model an Imperator and name it "Sir Not-Appearing-In-This-Battle"...
... but, still, my point stands. Titans: It doesn't come much heavier.

And my point still stands about memes being mightier than titans

Squiggoths are big, but not, you know, ten-story building big.

We have a winner! As a single tank, obviously.
I prefer melta guns purely for the melta goodness. Obviously in practice you're far better off with plasma (or none at all really) but a leman russ with TWO added multi-meltas just makes me feel all fuzzy inside.

I know. I was just commenting on his "EVERYTHING I TOUCH DIES" comment, as 45(?) plasma shots will kill everything it touches.

That's a tough one. I'd probably give the nod to any of the GK land raiders, if we can include the librarian. Otherwise, probably have to go with the Leman Russ squadron.
