If the Typhon didn't ram at Str10AP2, and Ignore cover on its shots purely due to firepower, I'd possibly agree.

But, as is, Typhon is for men who shave against the grain with fire axes. In the middle of a housefire. That they just saved 30 Playmates from. At the Same time. And then claimed the house as his own. Still on fire. Playboy Mansion.

Manly.

How are you defining "tank"?

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

However, they apparently CAN be killed by lasguns if you go by dan abnett. It's mentioned twice in the first three books alone. At one point a guy shoots one through its visor and kills the occupant. In another, a scout overcharges his lasgun, causing it to explode and blow the entire front end of it off.

God i love loopholes

Is it opposite day already?


Apparently. They could at least post the old epic-scale Hammerhead variant that has two railguns.

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


ehh... i sense some tau hate....
alright fine pure stat line
13 12 10
1 less on each side than a leman russ, but wait it flies and can have a ridiculous cover save from emitting pure awesome
has two large arc burst cannon, (these things aren,t great i know, not my point)
railgun, if you have never seen one in action, if you think it has performance issues that because they ignore the other tanks leaving them for the rest of the army namely the broadsides who decided they need two

also im new, be nice...

But that goes against our strongest traditions!

Although seriously, we're just humouring you. This is a comical thread, after all. People have been far worse...

Anyway. I'm adamant that the Basilisk is the manliest. Seriously, it's a tank, with a platform built on top, with a gun larger than itself on the back. No armour or anything.

Imagine an astronaut, extinguishing a forest fire, in jeans and a lumberjack shirt, with a beard and moustache. Who is also a world fishing champion.

In the vein of a "man who brings a Knife to a Gunfight", one contributor put forward a Dreadnought in a tank discussion. I can live with all the other suggestions regardless of whether they are "strictly a Tank" because they all have Treads.

I will not take the "LORD ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT'S name in vein" but I believe the contributor has missed the entire premise of our collective endeavours.

I believe once this is settled, another "What is the manliest Walker thread" must be started...

I doubt that will be the case after IA12 and the Megalith. Until then, ill put forward the pre-fifth Monolith.

Each faction should put forth their manliest tank and be judged for all the world to see.

I, again, put forth the humble Trukk for the the orks as riding that thing to do your shopping is manly enough but to ride that into battle needs balls of diamond coated steel.

*pulls out a chari to stand on*

I concede that orks do not have male parts but they reproduce from the collective manliness of their race, they exude manliness through their life and then a ton of it in their manly deaths to create more manly men that overwhelm all other manly sources around them. What vehicle better shows this level of manliness than one designed to get these manly men into a proper fight as fast as possible without regard to silly notions of safety of sanity? The trukk shows these ideals in abundance, it may not have many guns on it but it is in and of itself a weapon, and any who doubt it will feel the impact of its manliness as their oh so vaunted tank is reduced to rubble beneath our orky, kicking wheels!

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.

Brilliant idea: ANGRY MARINES CRASSUS ARMORED DOOMSDAY TITAN. Basically a CRASSUS ARMORED ASSULT TITAN piloted by Angry Marines with a Doomsday Cannon attached to the groin. It fires by making lewd thrusting gestures. It can also be used to make a special close combat attack, and allows the Angry Marines player to force any models within 24" to re-roll any morale check, successful or unsuccessful (depends on whether the Angry Marine pilot screams "I'M COMING FOR YOU NEXT #*&^#&^$&*#$^&#*^*" or "I DID THE SAME THING TO YOUR MOM LAST NIGHT")

I love how this thread is slowly turning from "manliest tank" to "what is the most ridiculously over the top manliest vehicle we can make?"

We may well need to start a second thread just for it once we better nail down what properties the manliest vehicle ever should have
