It has an ability to improve its BS.

And its only weapon is a template.

I think you need to consider what everything is doing before you dash off a new unit.

All but two are already twin linked, change the enraged so all other bar the main gun can shoot twice might be better. Its the crew that shoot the gins not the machine spirtit. The machine spirit can insted be overiding safety controls to increase rate of fire.

also id make it two versions, a bs3 version for am and a bs 4 version for the others.

I like this, will change (i originally intended this but thought it would be OP, i guess it isnt OP)

With my updated vehicle design rules, I'd give it a point value of about 525. Based the primary gun on the battle cannon, figured it to be about 3x more effective due to area coverage, inability to miss, ignores cover, and overall effectiveness against a range of models. All in all, that's a damn fine tank you made there

I'd also make it leadership 7 base, maybe take a "command tank" upgrade to make it a 9.

Thanks!

You're welcome! Feel free to play around with the updated V.D.R. linked in my SIG, it is pretty awesomesauce and I need as much feedback for fine tuning as possible!
