Kain on Tzeentch:
The negative so far outweighs the positive that it creates a vicious cycle, with Chaos ensuring more bad things(TM) and largely only bad thigs happen. The fact that the major Xenos are mostly donkey-caves doesn't help, especially since the Imperiumis in turn, a bunch of donkey-caves.
Thus Tzeentch, god of donkey-caves, is the most generally successful. Because out of this huge pile of donkey-caves, none are more dickish than the great blue Jerk. |

i take your Leman Russ and raise you
i take your gun that takes up the whole turret, and give you a gun thats longer than our tank, not because it has to be but because we like big guns (railgun the answer to all)
not enough armor, we can hide behind a bush and you cant even see us (disruption pods four a 2+ cover save)
ur a tractor, trackors don't fly, hammerheads do (skimmer for the win)
you can move and shoot ur battle cannon, we can move twice as far and do the same (multi-tracker, shoots like a fast skimmer)
we take your leman russ, make it bigger, lighter, strap on some thrusters and some anti-grave bits, and one of the few non apoc guns that truly is the answer all to anything, no special rules need, just a stat line...

I don't know if this is just me, but everytime I've seen a hammerhead in person, it's *ahem* firepower, is a little... droopy. Like it lacks motivation, or has performance anxiety or something. And look at how skinny it is. Everybody knows the width's more important than the length. That's why the Leman Russ is the real lady killer

That's no gunship...
It's a CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TITAN!
Incidentally the heretic who claimed the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT doesn't count because it's a transport and not a tank is incorrect.
It's a TRANSPORT.

Hammerheads aren't manly- certainly, the manliest Tau tank, but that's not saying much
Basilisks are very manly- firing a ridicu-huge artillery gun in not only an open-topped vehicle, but open-walled too- they're basically standing on some sheet metal in the open on the back of a large battlefield target. Manly motherfethers...

I'm very sorry guys, but your all wrong. Very, very wrong.
Now i'm not a SM fanboi, and i am in fact an Ork player; However, Manliest tank in the Universe has to go to...
It's a freaking Tank that can walk up and punch you in the face. Nothing manlier than that!
And to seal the deal, it's crewed by 1 guy who has been beated/poisioned/mutilated till an inch of death, and kept alive by the skin of his teeth.

Anything with a gun and armor on it. Feel free to come up with whatever ridiculous reasons you wish to justify your "reasoning". Eldar tanks, ork tanks, space marine tanks, etc. etc. As long as it has a gun on it and can't get killed by a lasgun, we'll let it be called a tank for the purposes of this.
Fits the criteria though. It has armour and guns, and can't be killed by a lasgun, so it is technically a walking tank xD

what is the current leaderboard then?
mine would be:
- CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT
- Warmaul Fellblade
- Fortress of Arrogance
after this, in no particular order:
- Devil Dog (Acid-spewing tank with a huge exposed drum strapped to it)
- Land Raider Achilles (just look at it, it's a beast)
- Basilisk (no cover for crewman, huge gun)
- Malcador Infernus (light armoured vehicle with a ridiculously huge flamethrower)
- Praetor armoured assault launcher (just like a CRASSUS, but sacrifices the bunkery goodness for a huge rocket piece)
- Gorgon armoured assault transport (again, like a CRASSUS, but ditches the armour for a bit of fresh air- ironically commonly used by the death korps)
- Ork Kill krusha (it's got so much dakka, there are turrets on the turrets on the guns- yo dawg...)
- Battle fortress (like the CRASSUS, but with a giant spiky rolling pin on the front- loses man-points only because it's not the CRASSUS.
