Hello all, I wanted to play a fun game borrowing my friends Astra Millitarium army and I was wondering if there is a viable way to have a tank only list? min Troop of course.

Have people done this in the past? I don't care of viability its just for fun but can you build a list like that?

Im very new to guard haven't played against them of with them before.

Absolutely you can do an armour force. The 40k Detachments allow you take an entire army of heavy support units and AM have a Tank Commander HQ choice.

Totally doable, and fun! Not always competitive though.

In fact, all Leman Russ tanks in a Spearhead detachment gain Objective Secured, including the Tank Commanders. You can't refund the 3 CP for the Spearhead detachment (like you would a Patrol or Battalion), but it does alleviate a significant problem that vehicle heavy lists (such as Knights) run into.

The biggest downside to Leman Russes is that they're slow, so you'll want some other units to provide board control. Sticking with exclusively tanks, your top contenders are Hellhounds or Valkyries, though a horde of Sentinels is also a good bet.

It's definitely possible. Oddly I was thinking of taking a Spearhead with 11 demolishers. 9 standard and 2 tank commanders.

That's 1770 points. The rest could be spent on some deep striking Scions for secondaries. Something like a patrol with another tank commander and 3 5 man Scion squads would put you exactly at 2000.

Would it be competitive? Probably not, but it'd be fun.
