    The warhammer 40k universe is full of crazy and over the top war engines. but there's nothing quite as cool as good ole fashion tanks! that being said, this being warhammer 40k, the tanks in the universe are pretty nuts in their own right. from the humble space marine rhino, to the massive bane blade of the imperial guard, and not to mention all the nutty xenos tanks! How do we determine which ones are the best? well today I have compiled a list of my personal picks for the top 8 best tanks in 40k. I used a mix of practicality, technology level, raw power, and coolness factor to make the list. I also tried to keep the list diverse and didn't want it to just be 8 variations of the baneblade.

      Not really. Its stupidly high so barely a building can work as a cover for it and being seen is the deadliest thing to both soldier and any vehicle. Other thing is exposed tracks, next to no mine protection, stupidly high heat signature due exhaust stacks and armor design that would most likely let sabot pierce from one side and exit past engine block and out from the back, ie borderline no angling in the armor. Its essentially TOG II but shorter and would fit fine into ww2 era tank battles, but against modern MBT, given it would have your average composite armor of today and not some miracle material armor or magic detection, or ballistic computer it would be dead moment it come to range of MBT. Las cannon would give it a edge firepower vise and heavy bolters on the side would be pretty deadly against infantry, but on tank vs tank its pretty much auto defeat for Leman Russ tank.

    @CMTechnica Год назад +4

    The thing about railguns is that they fire sabots. Metal rods meant to liquify on impact this turning into superheated liquid metal shrapnel
    When Abrams crews started using them against kamikaze cars in the Middle East, they reported that sabots would penetrate the vehicle (with minimal damage mind you), and since the sabot did what sabots do, they could literally *wash the remains out with a hose*
    Now apply that to a railgun. A *T’au* railgun. Imagine inspecting the aftermath of a Baneblade, walking through the corridors without finding anything out of the ordinary, until you find the driver’s compartment. A relatively small impact hole is visible in the hull, but the driver is just a red paste

      I'm more disappointed that he described the default Falcon as being the transport variant, rather than the "anti-infantry" variant he described with brite lance and scatter lasers. The Serpent Shield is neat enough on its own to warrant a second sentence on the description.

    The Macharius heavy tank was always a favorite of mine, and the recently released Rogal Dorn battle tank has really appealed to me.
    The only problem I have with the Baneblade is the variants are usually no where near as well thought out and designed as the original Baneblade. Look at the original Baneblade - the side weapon turrets and sponsons are all beneath the turret and the turret ring due to the main turret being on part of a slightly raised portion of the hull. Meaning the Baneblade's turret can rotate 360 degrees without issue or anything...Now let's look at the variants of the Baneblade:
    Banesword: No raised portion of the hull, the turret fits flush to the top of the hull and MASSIVE side turrets prevent the turret from moving outside of only a VERY small frontal arc.
    Banehammer: One of the worst examples, given the same flush fit to the top of the hull with side-turrets blocking the turret from rotating AND having a massive protruding engine bay and exhaust so tall and large that even if the Banehammer could rotate its turret to facing directly behind it... if it fired it would very likely hit its own engine compartment and blow itself up.
    Doomhammer: Virtually the same as the Banehammer, only with a different main gun.
    Hellhammer: *_Actually okay._* Secondary turret placement is a bit... wonky... with them being so far forward on the hull as to get in the way of the secondary turret on the front of the hull, but the main gun can rotate a full 360 degrees with nothing blocking or getting in its way.
    Shadowsword: Some big issues here. Namely the same turret-flush-fit-with-hull while the side turrets are in the way, but... Also there's gigantic fuel tanks on the rear hull of the tank that go above the top of it. Meaning that even if there were no side/secondary turrets to stop the main turret from rotation... with the main gun being so big, the gun barrel would be smacking into the fuel tanks trying to rotate.
    Stormblade: Same issues as the Shadowsword, only worse due to the main gun being twin-linked and thus much wider and will actually be stopped sooner from rotating due to the fuel tanks on the rear.
    Stormhammer: *_Actually pretty good._* Main-turret can rotate freely. The front twin-linked turret is baked into the hull, but still has some left-and-right transverse movement and some limited elevation up and down. Triple-side gun emplacements are spaced far enough from each other not to present a problem other than them not having as much coverage as a dedicated turret, but you do get more gunners.
    Stormlord: *_[sigh]_* Despite being one of my favorite variants due to the weapons it has and the versatility it has as being a command/troop transport version... It's also the silliest in the terms of layout and design. The twin mega bolter cannons in the turret are placed so far forward and so low that the turret could only realistically turn a few degrees before the gun housing smacks into the armored track housing on the front of the hull. Side turrets also don't allow movement. Rear troop compartment and turrets also don't allow movement. Silly, silly, silly.

    The baneblades will always hold a special place in my heart. Not only for the fact that well, "it's a baneblade" but because I will always have burned into my memory when I bought 2 of the original baneblades from forge world many years ago. These tanks were so lazily made and shipped that it literally took me a month each to just assemble them, let alone paint. From each having bent cannons that I needed to straighten, to the fact that each road wheel still had a piece of mold resin attached to it that was literally the size of the wheel itself forcing me to cut and sand each one so that it was somewhat rounded. By the end of the cutting and shaping of both, I had enough left over resin, that a third baneblade could have been made. But to this day, I still have them both, and they still take pride of place in my vast collection.

    I feel like an honorable mention would be the Dark Eldar raider platform. They are quite customizable as they can be open air transports, gunships, or even be retrofitted into a highly durable command platform. The equipment is nothing to scoff at either, using a multi-role weapon called a disintegrater or even a dark lance to make a coffin out of most tanks. The chains and other equipment help it fullfill their various roles such as slave snares. Then....there is their speed. Last I saw, they were the lynch pin for one of the fastest assault vehicle as the quickness allowed the passengers to leap out at high speeds and get up close and personal with their prey.

    Random thought: Orks are quite simple minded, yet they have that special psychic manipulation.

    2: Accuracy by volume (sound).
    Ork sniper: never misses, is incredibly loud (to the point of exploding).

    I've always imagined the Baneblade to be bigger and heavier. According to fandom it's "only" 13,5m long and 6,3m high. This is why it came as a suprise when you said it weighted only 316 tonnes. Maybe I was a bit too much influenced by the P1000 Landkreuzer Ratte.
    Which ironically shows that even the over the top cranked to 11 style of the 40k universe isn't too far away from what lunatics thought of actually building in the second world war.

It doesn't need a sleek look or anything special. Giving the guard fancy looking stuff takes away their identity. They're supposed to be men and women using old gear and getting the job done against the Lovecraftian horrors of the 41st millennium.
