All of the superheavies based on that chassis are also in the same boat. Fixed forward mount in order to mount a weapon generally larger than a turret could accommodate. Similarly the Venator and Malcador based heavy tank destroyers.

Arguably you could.use the original.razorback in the TD role. Light armour,.fast vehicle, but punchy anti armour weapon.

FW that gets bonuses against other vehicles, but it houses an unstable reactor that will blow on a 2+ when it dies. Make sure you don't have any units near it as it will deal a massive 2d6 to everything around it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/772419/10369724.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/772419/10369724.page GMT Re:Imperial tank destroyers? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/772419/10369786.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/772419/10369786.page GMT Imperial tank destroyers?

RT's "tank destroyer" was the Sabre tank hunter. SM and guard could both use it (but guard could use land raiders and rhinos, too - because leman russes and chimerae didn't yet have models or profiles.

Made from rhino track sides, a land raider's front glacis and a few pieces of plasticard sheet, and a tube for the main gun (which was an autocannon, because battlecannons - let alone AP ones - didn't exist yet). It was the leftovers from making a Land Raider Spartan.

Then the "vindicator" became a thing via a conversion in WD (much like the Whirlwind) and in 3rd ed got its own kit (it's not in the catalog before 2000 - so possibly 1999 since it wasn't in 1998 catalog).

The Destroyer (FW) tank hunter was built from wrecked Guard assault tanks with demolisher guns (upgraded with turbo lasers or something).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/772419/10370055.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/772419/10370055.page GMT Imperial tank destroyers? 40k, so, definitely go for it!

It's not that long ago since the Jagdpanter was featured on the front page too.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/772419/10370068.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/772419/10370068.page GMT Imperial tank destroyers?

Its a great article. Well anything by the Chieftain is highly recommended. I'd disagree on the M4's driver escape hatch. The wife could bounce in and out of it, but I had a time of it. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/772419/10370563.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/772419/10370563.page GMT Re:Imperial tank destroyers?

Its the other way around. The Destroyer is the base tank with the super high tech laser destroyer as main armament. When that breaks and they can't fix it (I.e. most of the time) then they strip it out and replace it with a demolisher cannon making the Thunderer I think it was.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/772419/10370614.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/772419/10370614.page GMT Re:Imperial tank destroyers?
