That's pathetic. I think I'm going to be sick at its cowardice. What kind of Minotaur runs away? I think this discussion is missing something. How can a tank with long range be called manly? You don't find men hiding behind things throwing rocks at each other and calling each other names. They're in each others' face, with fists and whatnot.

Thus we return to the CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT which gets in the other's face and giving him a right Crassus and castrating him with multiple Heavy Bolters before sh*ting a load of guardsmen on him!

Basilisks and artillery pieces have a range long enough that they don't need to be within 10 miles of the battlefield.
But they are, they get right to the front with paper armour and a fething huge gun, to blow the gak out of the enemy!
That's pretty manly....

Congratulations, you made the basilisk sound like the internet troll of tanks.
A weak little nerdlinger who hides behind his computer to spew insults without ever intending to get involved in a fight. That's not manly, that's just sad.

That's why you have the CRASSUS ARMORED ASSAULT BASILISK to make sure they get up close and personal as they were intended to be used. 
Still needs the bolters photoshopped out for more earthshaker cannons though... If I can wrestle with mspaint in a few hours in my drug enhanced state i might just do that...

No, I'd compare it to a soldier who instead of shooting you takes off his vest and shirt and punches you in the nuts. Hard.

Which is why the Basilisk gets bonus manly points. It could fight from a safe distance if it wanted to, but yet here it is sitting on the table at point blank range shooting you to death.

Like if a sniper dropped from the ceiling and shot you point blank with a barret 50. cal. The Basilisk is essentially noscoping at point blank range. They just kind of point it in the general direction of what they want dead and pull the trigger

but one does not simply read 'Like if a sniper dropped from the ceiling and shot you point blank with a barret 50. cal.' without visuallising that peice of gak...

how about it's more like if a sniper sprinted from his vantage point onto the front lines, out across no-man's land and forcible gave the enemy a free colonoscopy with the barrel of his rifle? Badass, ridiculous and minus the COD feeling.
