Recently I fielded 60 Termagants and 60 hormagaunts and basically laughed at my opponent to try and make his points back! (Full on Swarm nids with some Malenthrope shenanigans) so my dealing with heavy armour was to tag it or just not present any targets worth using their guns on!

Short of that, impaler cannons and Dakkafexs w/ stratagem support.

As Chaos I usually have 2 Maulerfiends in my army supported by a Warptime Sorcerer so most of my Anti-tank comes from that. Failing that, I usually have missile launchers in my CSM core units that can be a viable backup and a Lascannon havoc unit every so often. Heavy bolter/ Reaper Chaincannon havocs can also occasionally shave a few wounds if required.

With my Chaos Knights, usually lots of avenger cannon shots, Castigator sword or rampager fist. Recently 2d6 thermal cannon shots have been melting tanks and riptides left and right.

With my Death Guard I grind down the enemy armor with blight launchers, plasma, mortal wounds and flamers. Maybe finish it off with a daemon prince.

My orks rely on great rolls with SAGs, buffed lootas and massed KMB/rokkits (or variants of those).

Pfft, I line up my amazing Leman Russ Vanquishers and let them deliver the emperors sweet mercy to those foolish heavy armor units. May he have mercy upon them, for I shall have none.


That said, It's kind of a combination of whatever gets the job done and what my list carries at the time that can shut them down.

Khorne Berserker Champion with a Power Fist? That usually does one tank in one round, especially with 7 other Berserkers about.

Honestly, Khorne berzerkers don't even need a PF to curbstomp most tanks anyways.
(bonus points for Legion Berzerkers cause GW and flat woundingchart buffs make fun interactions possible.

With my Dark Angels, the ubiquitous Azrael Hellblaster castle and a Relic Contemptor Dreadnought with 4 lascannons

With my Death Guard, get into combat with the tanks as quickly as possible with Poxwalkers, then bring in the Daemon Prince and the Blight Lord Terminators

With my main army now I just shoot it with any unit. having 2 armiger helverin, 2 knight paladin, and 2 knight warden really helps.

Tau:Rip tides and Broadsides oh and the assassination coldstar with 4 fusion guns .... What did you think I was gonna do.

Deathwing: First I thank them for bad choices. Then Thunder Hammers and Maces of Absolution.

Dark Angels Old marines: 15 plasma Cannons.

Same way I deal with anything else - ridiculous amounts of chainaxes.

For space elves: bright/dark lances, pulse lasers, mortal wounds
For Salamanders: Meltas/mortal wound aggressor if the transports haven't already killed the tank

+1 for that (chainaxes that is)
