Now, the Valdor, on the other hand, is a manly tank. It carries a powerful weapon, and displays tasteful competence in its capabilities instead of overcompensating for its poor self esteem.


(And, unlike either of the other two candidates, it has neither front nor back hatches. The Valdor gives, it does not receive.)

Most casual tank operator ever

To those of you who dont think the CAAT is a lady: Think abouit it, it has a lot of guys inside it once.
















*Thread Lock incoming*

Who said you had to be a lady to have men inside you?

Chuck Norris eats babies and poops out marines, I see nothing wrong with carrying men

Guys, the Basilisk has no time for silly hatches. Just go down the ladder if you're sissy enough to leave...

The Crassus Armoured Assault Transport is a self-indulgant, xeno-phobic, dreaming tank that pretends to be manly with it's rear hatch while Rynn's Might is the most manly tank ever as he isn't a clone, he's taken on whole armiers by himself. Noms on orks, doesn't have an easy-to-penetrate rear and isn't self-indulgant.

Correction: one horde, not several armies.
CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT is xenophobic, and that's a bad thing in 40k?
It doesn't dream, it has nightmares. Only true manly tanks are prepared to admit it has emotions.
It isn't self-indulgent, it's just unwilling to get itself killed, because it can't smite the emperor's enemies after it's dead.
I also fully support TheCaptain's comment- Rynn's might is a chick. Rynn must be such a wimp to have his girlfriend stand up for him.
She doesn't nom on orks, seeing as the only time any orks came inside her mouth she self-destructed. Talk about overreacting, she didn't have to swallow...

{i]Rynn's Might[/i] didn't self destruct. It vented it's plasma core.

It wasn't a horde, it was a army.

we all know that there is no such this as a female space marine, therefore there is no such this a female space marine tank.


Rynn's Might wasn't destroyed, it was never recovered. It's inside was fairly damaged, it's outside vey scratched.

The manliest tank in the world? A Grot Tank, because its tiny. To think for a moment you'll survive driving a Grot Tank into a battle zone you must have some serious guts. Its the size of a large tank's shell and its even tiny by scale, not much bigger than its pilots.

A true man dosn't need a big tank, he has nothing to compensate for. That's why I believe the most many tank is the tiny, overlooked, Grot Tank. A.K.A "Many Mobile"

See my comment on Grot tanks page 4, I did agree with you then I got brainwas...*ahem* Converted to the Church of Latter Day CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORTS.

But they're just too big! Its got to be compensating for something, all those men inside it all the time - a Grot Tank is just a simply, comic attempt at a killing machine. Far manlier.

We will convert you back to the true faith of Grot Tankism!

Eh it killed itself after depleting all of its ammo killing everything. Not bad.

Rynn's Might isn't dead, it's just biding it's time until it can kill again.

Rynn's Might isn't dead, it's just biding it's time until it can kill again.

It's waiting for the end times, the battle at the end of the universe.

Alongside Leman Russ, Corax, Vulkan, Rynn's Might will slowly rumble out of the fog of battle, to save mankind in its darkest hour.

Not sure if this counts seein's how it's a railway gun, but... Biggest rifled thing ever fired ever.





And this thing, though it was never made...



It's a box. With three bigass guns. And nothing more.

The LAND KREUSER Pz1000 RATTE (wait for the day this launches on World of tanks and everyone has kittens!!)

Even 40k cannot match this, this is an order of magnitude bigger than a Baneblade....It's in 15mm Scale, this thing is more like an Ordinatus than a tank.

I was waiting for this. In order to count, someone needs to write rules for it and make a 40k version. Otherwise, it's four Baneblades.

The P 1500 was the tank version.

The thing^^^ had an 80 cm barrel. 31 INCHES. Think about that. Nearly 3 feet wide. Most of us could fit in this thing comfortably! The HE round alone weighed 4,800 kg (11,000 lb) and the AP shell? 7,100 kg (16,000 lb) and 11.6 feet long. I nearly ordnance-gasmed when I saw this.

Kind of hard to beat something that one-shotted an entire fort... OT, I once read that Hitler asked if that thing could be used to fire at tanks.

well, he's got you there.
also if you did have to be a lady, that's contradictive of Rynn's might- CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORTS have lots of guys who went in the rear hatch- the land raider has lots of guys who went in the front hatch. It's a woman.

Machine spirits aren't space marines. I'd say they're closer to enginseers and other members of the mechanicum if anything, which has female members.

"Although Rynn's Might did not survive the encounter"- lexicanum

I'll correct myself, Its MACHINE SPIRIT wasn't destroyed.

It's basically a shell, it's mind in a coma

or this:

So it fires a shell that weighs the same as 3 HMMWV's? An Adult Male Bull Elephant weighs between 6 and 8 Tonnes, jesus this is like firing an AP elephants at an enemy position!

The Nazis were mental. Incredible! and evil but also entirely mental!!
I think in the case of alien invasion the Nazis would have been the best defence... why punch an alien int he face Will Smith when you can blow it out the air with a super-cannon that fires the equivalent of an AP elephant!

This picture is easily exposed as fake. Germans would never paint barely dressed woman on tanks. The only thing we would paint on tanks would be barely dressed tanks!

Impressive deduction skills. What really did it for me was the fact that the sun in the image is in the shape of a hand grenade.

Edit: This is a joke, in case anyone thinks I'm serious...

In terms of matching the Leman Russ I'd go with the Hammerhead any day. It shoots as far, has a stronger gun and has better AP. Plus, it doesn't need LOS to hit you with its Sponsons.
The armour would hold out against the Battle Cannon and as a Skimmer it is far more agile.

Agility is not manly, it's for pansies!
