You hide between thick armour, afraid that your uniforms might be sullied. How manly indeed.

The Gorgon is far more manly; open topped, so you might smell the promethium burning, and feel the the refreshing zing of shrapnel, and equipped with not one, but two single-use mortars! It's manliness is so certain, it doesn't even need reloads.

Fixed that for you...

New plan. Someone needs to make an epic-scale CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT so we can make a PRAETOR AMOURED ASSAULT LAUNCHER that fires CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORTS instead of missiles.

Now, I have to admit that the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT is a worthy tank, but give some respect to the Gorgon. It's a WWII landing craft on tank tracks. Now, why would someone need their tank to be a boat? Because the Gorgon is designed to drive through the sea of blood and corpses of its enemies, floating on the blood of the damned until it smashes into its target, lowers its assault ramp, and deploys 50 screaming guardsmen to butcher anything in their path.

Meanwhile the poor troops in the CAAT crawl meekly out of the back and wish they had been given such a manly transport.

While the CRASSUS ARMOUR ASSAULT TRANSPORT is a manly tank, it does not yet have a song about it. While other less fearsome tanks do.

|t Goes something like this.

The Dominus Seige Bombard and the Preator Assault Launcher are weapons carrying variants of the Crassus.

The Crassus is an enclosed version of the Gorgon.

The Gorgon and Crassus are the transport versions of the Macharius.

Ergo - Macharius is the manilest tank because without it none of the others would exist.

Oh which then Vulcan is the bestest because it carries a Titan weapon with only 20 seconds worth of ammo even with all the storage bins stuffed to capacity!
