Too bad its gun is limp...

that picture always bugs me.

Pulpitek is a manly tank.
too bad there aren't any good pics of it...

I remember reading a scan of that comic on /tg/ once. That thing was made of badassery and ran on the souls of the damned (or maybe just the guys that got stuck in the grille)

Not to mention it's driven by a guy who looks like satan with a flamethrower for a hat and an eviscerator and has twin autocannons and dudes with meltaguns riding in it.

If it was any other race making a tank bigger and better, you wouldn't say they were compensating, jealous or lacking balls of steel...

Not that it's any other race marking a tank bigger, it's space marine players making it bigger. That tank is not a GW model, it's a fan creation made by a marine player who got jealous of the fact that IG players got all the cool tanks and glued some space marine icons and stupid looking guns all over a Baneblade.

I can't tell if you're trolling or genuinely serious.
Space marines have cool tanks too.
It isn't just a bunch of icons and some guns glued onto a baneblade, it took a lot of modelling skill:

You may not like the design, fair enough, but it's hardly the ork-quality engineering (lack-of) precision you make it out to be.

Counts as a tank. Doesnt count as manly.

Disqualified!

In addition, it was based of Space Marine tanks in the Fluff, they were meant to be special designs of Fellblade. Then Forge World came in a screwed that plan up, so he HAD to make a new tank type designation.

aye, forgot to mention it was also canon.

Oh god, dying of laughter, endless source of entertainment XD

The Baal Predator.

Why?

Because it was literally given unto man by a freaking angel!

You doubt?

I deep strike a land raider on to your head heretic! From...SSSPAAACCCEEE ! ! ! !

You continue to dispute the unrivaled masculinity of a vehicle refered to as a predator, oh you who wears the land raider hat of shame? Well then...how can you question the machismo of a tank who's very name has the word Baal in its mo'frack'n name?

Angels are sky fairies. Tanks given by angels, therefore, aren't manly.

Especially when the angels in question spend all their time sitting around trying to look pretty instead of killing things.

Correction:

Spare marine fanboys defiled the sacred Baneblade and created an ugly pile of guns that looks like something an ork would invent, and then called it a Fellblade.

Forge World got tired of this heresy, released a real Fellblade, and showed everyone what a proper manly tank looks like (an efficient and powerful killer capable of exploding less-manly tanks from across the store).

In short: buy a FW Fellblade and mourn for the souls of all the defiled Baneblades.

+1 to this

Man i love that model, now my dream for SM apoc is split between the Thunderhawk and this manly man-tank!

Angels, or "sky fairies" are entrusted with delivering the wrath of god! Aka the. Baal predator

Your accusing the blood angels of being effete narcissists? The chapter who has the death company as a TROOP choice? The troop choice that eats chaos chosen for lunch & s#*+$ necrons? Compared to the IG=humans who brought us the Ford Pinto & the plethora of european mini cars powered by the masculinity of france & the courage of italy.

Death Co. aren't manly, they are half-crazy lunatics.

And Blood Angles have Sanguniary Guard who wear nipple armour. Not manly.

No, GW is. That's why they wrote fluff that says "BA are narcissists."

The chapter who has the death company as a TROOP choice?

You mean the emo marines that whine about how inevitable death is and dress in all black to appear "cool"? A manly death company would not be a suicide unit, it would be a unit dedicated to bringing death to the enemy. With chainaxes.

Compared to the IG=humans who brought us the Ford Pinto & the plethora of european mini cars powered by the masculinity of france & the courage of italy.

Mini cars which will be crushed underneath the tracks of the Valdor/Stormsword/Medusa/etc.

also angels have to have large pecs in order to flap their wings and pecs are manly so i think we should make an exception to take a proper look into this

We're not accusing, we ARE saying they're narcissists. Blood angels taking offense to that is like a fat guy being offended for being called fat. You may not like it, but you should've saw it coming and you only have yourself to blame.

Everybody assumes that because BA are narcissistic and good looking they are not killy. This is the fault of the Emperor's Children. We are the legion that got gak done while looking good, they are the ones with more Remembrancers than Marines

The fact that another chapter is less manly doesn't make the BA manly. They're narcissists who sit around obsessing over how pretty they are and crying if they suffer an ugly wound, while the real manly chapters are too busy killing stuff to care about how pretty their armor is.

We worry about it once we finish killing stuff and being called the best Close Combat chapter in the Imperium

Exactly. You worry about it. A more manly chapter would immediately find something else to kill. Or possibly feast on meat and beer. Which, by the way, is why the Space Wolves are far more manly than any pretty narcissist marine could ever dream of being.

Also, since when is this the "we're better at hitting you with swords" thread? This is the thread for TANKS. And the answer to this question is a Stormsword massacres the pitiful BA marines with a single shot and then grinds the survivors to death underneath its treads.

Does the phrase: "drive me closer I want to hit them with my sword?"

Yes, but notice that the person saying it is a guardsman driving a Leman Russ, not a pretty little narcisist sitting around admiring his beautiful armor.

Yes but that pretty little narcissist can hammer that leman russ [Please don't include swear words in your posts. Thank you -- Mod.]

Neck beards are not manly they're gross. Space Wolf yiffs are not manly

Fixed that for you. In a fight between a Leman Russ and a Blood Angel the only question is whether the pretty marine will kill himself and bleed all over the tank or just die.

That is entirely not manly, good sir.

They are sitting on a little metal balcony, that ISN'T EVEN ON THE TANK, and firing a fethhuge gun at essentially point-blank range.

And laughing while they do so. The shield isn't to protect them. The shield is just to brace the manliest of manly guns so it breaks the enemy instead of itself. That's how manly it is.

A Basilisk is what happens when two men look at their tank and say "feth the entire top-half of the thing, rip that out AND STICK THE BIGGEST GUN WE CAN FIND TO IT."

Point blank range????
It's min range is 36"

Considering that 36 inches is roughly 53 meters to scale (if I did the math right)

And considering that the Earthshaker cannon can (comfortably) hit things 15km away. Converted, that's 10,009.5 inches (brought down to 40k scale).

That's not shooting across the board, or even shooting at another table, no, that's shooting at a board across the street.

And despite all that range, they move their guns at least within the 204 down to scale inches. That my friend, given the alternatives, is point blank, and why they are the manliest. They could shoot at you that far away, but they move in close, to hear the barrage hitting home and watching the carnage themselves.
