Real men don't need armor to protect them, but walk around without any real armor and shoot things like a tank!
I present you: the man-tank, made up of a man in a skin tight suit, with a gun that has the killing power of a tank. He is made of Finecast too, just to make sure he is manly!

His manly bits are chopped off and put behind the skull for more manlyness!

I only just realized this, but Crytek totally ripped off the Vindicaire with Crysis's Nanosuit.

hades breaching drill, then?
Imma giant rock drill with lasers that drops off a load of shotgun-toting, unfeeling badass clones who dish out demo charges like it's a new fething halloween treat.

badass

I could see the hades breaching drill as being pretty manly. I mean, its a giant drill, which can presumably pierce the heavens. That's pretty manly. Vaporizing rock and exploding from underneath your enemies is just gravy from that point.

Hey guys what about a non-imperium/non-ork tank?

A Termite Tank (for those of you who remember Epic 40k) because what is more manly then penetrating something and drilling it.

Is the last tank piloted by...

1- that is one beast of a conversion
2- yup, termite would beat the hades, if it weren't for:
- It being called Hades
- It transporting death korps, as opposed to any other army

Way ahead of y'all, even if it was castrated with 6th ed.

Wonder if anyone still remembers my frequent posts on the "beat this unit" chain game thread, where every answer I posted would be "hades breaching drill"

You just botched it: A castrated tank can't be manly

it's so manly, they had to castrate it even though it didn't have balls.

The Armageddon Pattern Medusa. A huge cannon that is from the Armageddon Steel Legion, so instead of firing artillery shells like its pansy-ass Cadian cousin, this thing fires metal replications of Commissar Yarrick's scrotum

loses man-points from the regular basilisk through being armoured.
Not really the fault of the steel legion, what with being on a toxic planet and all that, but still.

But it's armoured. Like the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT

I'm going to say there is 1 tank the is EXTREMELY manly.


Not a type of tank, a tank. Rynn's Might.

After all of it's crew were slain it went on a fething rampage not giving an feth about anything and everything in its way. A horde of orks? Heavy bolter. Another Tank. Lascannon. Building? Drive right through it.

Too many orks to kill with guns? Kill with tracks.

Finally, when it's tracks were filled wth ork guts and stuff so much that it couldn't move and it was overwhelled, and the orks went inside to pull it apart from the inside? Vent the plasma core killing them all.


1 Tank vs an army of orks. Tank 1, Orks 0.

yes, but working a ridicu-huge artillery cannon on an unarmoured sheet platform is more manly than doing it behind 6 inches of steel.

a really manly tank would have cleaned it's treads with it's facial hair- failing that, got it's hot babe of a rhino to clean it for him. Other than that minor error, badass as hell

I will have to admit that Ryn's might is definitely in the running for most manly. Not many tanks can go on a killing spree all on its own with no crew inside.

But it's a space marine tank, so loses manly points.

And I have to say some of the ork tanks are super manly, its just that saying CRASSUS ARMORED ASSAULT TRANSPORT is funnier

Ain't nothin' wrong with a little bit of barrel-curve.

That particular vehicle can actually be driven as a fully tracked vehicle. They lift their front wheels up.

So yes, its manly.

because nothing says manly like four butch german dudes on a glorified motorbike...

Before any one says it's not a tank, it's listed under "imperial Guard Tanks" on the Forge World Website

I can live with all the other suggestions regardless of whether they are "strictly a Tank" because they all have Treads.

In that case, I'd like to put forward the Cyclops demolition vehicle- imagine an armour plated RC car filled with enough plastic explosive to destroy a squad of men or an enemy leman russ. It has treads, remember?
because sometimes it isn't about a tank's strength or size, but about a tank's heart, and this little fella is prepared to blow himself to kingdom come to take on a tank far, far bigger than him. He's the David of the tank world- just with more explosives and death.
now let us all bow our heads in remembrance to the little guys who gave their little machine-spirit lives so that we may live.

way ahead of ya

It's the little tank that could.

Just got the mental image of a space marine playing kill team, getting a kill streak and pulling a tiny RC out of his backpack, putting a grenade on it and being the definition of a pansy. Now if the cyclops were part necron and could stand back up after blowing up, then I'd consider it manly

Best of all, it has a malfunction like flayed ones. Except instead of a murderous desire to gain flesh again, it's an uncontrollable desire to bark excitedly and lick people's faces, as it was a pet in necron society.

So you get a happy puppy with a bomb inside it who explodes everytime he gets near someone, only to get put back together and wonder where his playmates went...

EDIT: Jesus my lack of sleep is starting to show. I don't know whether what I just posted was disturbing, hilarious, or sad. Or all three.

How about this

Its looting time boys
(Technically not a tank but still manly for looting the Golden throne)
