Now all I want to see is what a looted CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT would look like.

I keep imagining an ork Battlefortress, but even more ridiculous.

Hmm, they do have the women.

It only counts if you actually put slave girl models on the vehicle, though.



Does that add or take away manly points? On the one hand, you are strapping people to your tank for the hell of it. That's pretty manly. On the other hand, you are hiding behind others.

If we get bonus points for strapping people to our tanks then guard would be the friggin champions.

If I could glue guardsmen to the front of my tank for a coversave I would do it in a heartbeat.

Also, everyone knows you can pick up way more chicks in a tank. I mean look at that Leman Russ. You could cover that thing in women easily.

And get a +5 cover save to boot! Let's see your filthy pointy ear cardboard box with wings do that!


tfw guard have been doing this for two editions, in the form of bubble-wrap.

Our guardsmen are manly for trying to step infront of anti-tank weapons, and our tank-commanders are manly for telling guardsmen to eat anti-tank rounds so their ride can keep wrecking face.

Oh yes, so there was. Really, that was an Artillery Battery...

Artillery...

Wait...

I think the Basilisk is the manliest tank ever. No armour to hide behind, with a gun that could launch the operators, right on the front line, and manually aimed.

MANLY.

That is an artillery silencer because the test fire range was next to a residential area. Not really manly.

Stealth is imperative to manliness. Marbo is stealth. You say marbo is not manly?

Even so, notice the shape of the silencer. Beats the Stompa belly gun.

Marbo isn't manly because of his stealth.

He's manly in SPITE of his stealth.

That's how manly he is.

Hum, that is actually a railgun shell. The PZ1500 was basically a railgun on tracks, not a tank!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwerer_Gustav

40K version of the PZ1000 would probably be a small city on tracks with battleship lance projectors and artillery cannons poking out in a few dozen places.

Go for Chimera's though - you know your going to die as soon as you get hit but you still charge the enemy in your tin can.

I think we're forgetting a major factor in the decision making process here.

People keep post space marine vehicles. Which we're pretty certain have no longer functioning manly bitz. Disqualified.

People keep posting ork vehicles, which are asexual and have no manly bitz. Disqualified.

And people keep posting Eldar, and those DEFINITELY aren't men, therefore disqualified.

Obviously Imperial Guard is the only real option
