The armour would hold out against the Battle Cannon and as a Skimmer it is far more agile.
can't be bothered finding the exact quote, but "anything that floats along the ground like a fairy is not manly".

I dunno if it has been mentioned yet, but the Spartan Assault vehicle is the manliest tank in 40k.
4 twin linked lascannon shots, armour 14 on all sides, immunities to melta, the flare shield which reduces the strength of shots against its front arc by -1 and a transport capacity of 25.
The Achilles is a strong 2nd only because it can't be destroyed by anything short of a D weapon.

Could you imagine? An entire CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT with the top chopped off and filled to the brim with basilisks.
Not the gun mounts, just entire basilisks parked inside.
My god now I want to make one.

lol!
Make one with the artillery carriages, so the crew just set up their artillery carriages inside the Crassus and started opening up while the Crassus drove around...

Collecting Forge World 30k????? If you prefix any Thread Subject line on 30k or Pre-heresy or Horus Heresy with [30K] we can convince LEGO and the Admin team to create a 30K mini board if we can show there is enough interest!
Replace that cannon with three or four basilisks, then youve got badassery

There is no such thing as a hobby without politics. "Leave politics at the door" is itself a political statement, an endorsement of the status quo and an attempt to silence dissenting voices.

Manly? A Baneblade, built from scratch in a builder's yard in Hackney, by one man and his heirloom power tools, fuelled only by the kebab in his belly and the burning hatred of his wife. All of its weapons replaced with giant surround-sound speakers and sub woofers, with the inside gutted out and replace with fittings to incorporate a pool table, bar, dart board, and several large flat screen TV's on which to enjoy weekend fixtures of Blood Bowl - the 41st Millenium's sporting event of choice. The driver is of course, Chuck Norris.

While the Minotaur is awesome (I love mine), it does lose manly points for being designed with rear-facing guns so it can drive away faster if anything gets too close.

If a Basilisk is manly, shouldn't a Medusa be even manlier? It doesn't even have the option of hiding behind buildings to lazily lob its shells on to the enemies. The Medusa has to jam those shells right down the enemy's throat. And the operators don't even have a giant gun shield to hide behind, either. Its crew gets to point and laugh directly at the enemy as they turn them into so much ash and rubble. Combine that with the ability to throw shells that can turn land raiders into scrap without even breaking a sweat, and the Medusa is pretty manly.

Slight Off-Topic, which one should I get (in a few years, but still ), the Minotaur or the Praetor Launcher?

don't know the rules for the praetor, but I'd go with it because it's more cool looking what could personify imperial guard insanity more than a bunker on treads with a huge missile rack on it?

WAIT NO.
Replace all of the heavy bolters with battle cannons then the back is filled with basilisk cannons + a void missile for super effectiveness.
Now I am tempted to build one now XD
From whom are unforgiven we bring the mercy of war.
