I was recently given a chaos space marine army but I have been unable to identify this tank. Any help would be appreciated.

**Elbows**

Imperial Guard Basilisk w/ the Earth Shaker Cannon and a dozer blade attached. It's built on the Chimaera chassis with an open-topped design, crew at the back. Older models used to feature an extended platform which kinda hung off the rear, not sure if that's still part of the kit.

That's an Imperial Guard Basilisk. The 3.5ed codex let Iron Warriors take one

**Quanar**

It is an Imperial Guard / Astra Militarium tank - a Basilisk (long range artillery thing).

Once upon a time, Iron Warriors chaos armies could include them (and other Imp.Guard artillery) by themselves, but that's not the case anymore as far as I'm aware (I don't have the new Traitor Legions book though).

It's also built incorrectly as the blast shield/platform should be further sunk into the hull. Grinds my gears whenever I see a Basilisk assembled like that.

Oh yes, hadn't noticed that.
