The Atlas is probably the most useful and important vehicle. Being able to recover damaged and destroyed vehicles from the battlefield has always been crucial. Repair, rinse out the bloody remains, stick some new meat into them and Bob's your uncle. In WW2 the German army only really started to deteriorate when they lost control of the battlefield after a battle, as they could no longer recover and repair they knocked out tanks.
Cyclops: the reincarnation of the goliath remote control bomb the Germans used in WW2. It looks exactly like it. Centaur: British universal carrier of WW2. Banehammer: literally a German brummbar of WW2 that blasted the shit out of cities like warsaw when daddy Hits needed people and things obliterated. Exorcist: German half track with a rocket propelled aramament similar to a nebelwerfer which is the same shit just not on a vehicle. Had a distinct sound that made the allies piss themselves. Ragnarok: Its a near exact copy of the soviet WW2 tank/assault gun KV2 A lot of the troop transports look modellled after m113 armored troop transports americans used from ww2 (i think? or korea) until desert storm. I dont know why I remember all of this shit and theres a ton of other tanks that look inspired or are straight rips from actual vehicles while others seem pretty original. Cool stuff I guess but dont feel like going through anymore because I already feel like a massive fukn nerd for mentioning all of these
The Question is: how would you Design a standard Tank on Tracks that just doesnt look like a Real Life ripoff? I think there arent top Mandy options. Its a Metal box, on tracks with a big Ass gun and sideweaponry. In 40k ist simply bigger and a shitload more deadly
Tanks and walkers fulfill different purposes. Tanks are much better in open field warfare and are much faster. They excel as cavalry. That's basically what the modern MBT like the leopard or Abrams is, it's cavalry. Mechs however serve the purpose of support such as artillery or logistics. Smaller Mechs can also work well in an urban environment because they can utilize cover and terrain much like humans can. Problems with Mechs is while most times they can outgun a tank, if a mech say loses a leg, it's fucked as it will take more damage from just falling over. A tank by contrast if it takes a shot in its track just needs to replace a wheel and reattach the track. They're also technologically much simpler and easier to maintain than Mechs. What I'm saying is that both serve a purpose but Mechs will never replace tanks
@@MiguelSanchezDelVillar I mean, theres not a whole lot to change on a tank other than just better armor and components, so you aren't going to see anything super different when the point of keeping tanks around is use them as cheaper, simpler weapons than mechs and aircraft
When has GW ever passed up an opportunity to ‘pay homage’ to anything they can use (& preferably copyright) for their hodgepodge canon? At least they *usually* only stole the better examples, until pretty recently.
the lack of onager dunecrawlers and skorpius tanks has already sealed your fate A couple legions of skitarii leaded by archmagos dominus Nicholas Morand ( aka the chieftain) are now headed to your location
I would point out that Malcador took a hit from Horus who was wearing power armor at the time he hit him. so, like the Custodes being surprisingly agile, Malcador was surprisingly tanky. and the Trojan makes no sense as a Trojan is supposed to stop you from deploying your boys, not drive them home.
More from the inter-war designs, where the "land battleship" concept was still alive. You have designs that are basically variations on the British Mark IV with a turret, but retaining the sponson guns, and with the hull-mounted cannon from the Char B1 bis and Char B2 designs. Using common hull designs I can see as a nod to the fact that these vehicles are intended to be used widely across the Imperium, so minimizing the number of different spare parts logistical tails is a good thing. I would, though, like to see more designs taking their inspiration from the British "independent" and the Russian T-28 and T-35 tanks, with multiple turrets. One thing I find decidedly suboptimal, though, is how many of the vehicles appear to have featureless track plates; it's easy to see how addiing grousers to the track links would increase mobility in wet or loose ground (at the expense of chewing up roads, but that's probably so low in the Imperium's consideration you'd have to go well underground to find it). One thing I find entertaining, from watching so many of The Chieftain's videos about tanks, is seeing how readily visible the track tensioning system on the Leman Russ, Macharius, and related tanks is, being a simple and robust design that appears in the British Mark I through Mark X heavy tanks of WWI.
Don't forget the Armageddon Steel Legion's Ragnarok, pictured here and fully inspired by the Russian WW2 KV-2 and its "big bad butterbox turret", standing in for a Russ. I think it was initially someone's fun conversion/scratchbuild project that appeared in a White Dwarf article on modding the then-new, easy-build Russ kit. I wonder if Forge World asked if he'd be cool with them reproducing his design.
13:22 Reminds me of that story about salamander power armors that got pissed off at a pack of homunculi for turning their wearers into soup and murdered every one of them along with that recipe for the airborne poison that did this.
Having only a small number of templates actually makes sense. It means you only have to produce parts for that template + any of the variant specific parts, rather than having to produce parts for a whole bunch of different chassis.
A note on the Falchion tank: While it’s name does kind of sound like “falcon”, a falchion is actually a kind of single-edged European sword. They’re designed to be used one-handed, and have a lot of mass centered on the end of the blade for maximum chopping power. Kind of like a slightly larger, militarized machete. Supposedly falchions were a common sidearm for archers and crossbowmen, since it didn’t take much training to use a falchion. My guess is the name was chosen for this tank as a variation on the “blade” naming convention on Imperial superheavy tanks.
16:26 that Turret is VERY reminiscent of the KV-2 WW2 Soviet Bunker-Buster(absolute legend and Meme of a Heavy Tank,weighed close to 60 Tons IIRC and was armed with a 152mm Howitzer)
...and massively impractical, as it was unable to turn its turret if the tank was not within a few degrees of level. Not a serious problem on the steppes of Russia in its intended role, but grossly ahistorical in how it appears in games like World of Tanks.
That is exactly what I was thinking from what I understand there were a very , very limited number of zis6 cannons I wonder if the same applies for the ragnarok in the 40k universe
I am disappointed, you forgot to mention that the land raider is not called the land raider because it raids land, it’s called the land raider because it was discovered by Magos Arkan Land who also developed the land speeder.
If we go by that logic, then the Melta gun was rediscovered by a Magos named Melta, the Lasgun by a chick called Lasgun, and the Bolter by a buff dude called Bolter. And do not even dare to say I'm wrong: the Emperor called the Astartes like that because of a woman called Astarte, which was supposed to be their "mom".
@@Aes880 “sir, the 17 pounder won’t fit!” “Stick it in sideways.” “There’s no room for the radio!” “Cut a hole and have it stick out the back!” “The engines no good!” “Stick four car engines together.”
The 5 tank templates kinda makes sense since you only need repair parts for 5 different tanks mostly and not 10k local unqiues. Besides if one of those uniques broke down outside of its home system it would be unlikely to be repaired
no, it was never stated by any official source, besides, there's no reason for DAOT mankind having useless kilometer long tanks if they were suposedly so advanced. people just want Bolo fantasies
@Tonya Patrick big emphasise on the "fi" in Sci fi here. Bolo fantasies are fine but they're so ridiculous, unimmersive and unrealistic that I just can't bring myself to like it.
@Tonya Patrick i'm just saying that despite looking cool, if daot had robots that can shoot continents, tanks that are too big would be actually very primitive besides, official data say the predator was a mbt in daot, with only saying that it used to get better engines and weapons, but nothing about 50m+ tanks
it actually makes a lot of sense that a galaxy spanning empire would only have like, 5 tank body types and stick different weapons on them. can you imagine how hellish it would be trying to get resupplied and repaired when every single world has 30 different tanks and none of them are the same as yours? shermans were mass produced out of loads of different factories while german tanks were really specialised, its why they took forever to build and ran out of parts while sherman printers go brrrrrr
I mean the cyclops is based of the goliath remote controlled bomb used by the germans during WWII. And the Cyclops is really only mainly used by the death korps of krieg so- I see what they were getting at there.
"macro accelerator canon" just sounds like a fancy way to say "Railgun." Much like the MAC in Halo; Magnetically accelerated canon, AKA "Railgun." Or as GW intends, How Space Marines now stomp Tau with ease.
There is two reasons for the limitations in the 4 patterns. 1) The reality - GW wants to reuse molds and model parts to cut costs. 2) The lore - The Imperials use STC technology- which is STANDARD TEMPLATE. Their systems don't create new things - they take standard parts and put then together in different ways. So if you want a new tank - then you just take a Lehman Russ and swap out a few things for the task. The Land Raider- discovered later as an STC - same thing. The chassis usually is just Russ, Land Raider, Chimera, or Baneblade.
Before the primaris, there was the piece of lore that describes the artisan clans on Terra for guarding their tech from admech and creating high tech gear exclusively for Custodes. Their sensor tech Arae Shrike that is in the banana helmets is considered heretical by mechanicus (probably because they themselves don't possess it). So I guess it is not even so much Inquisitors, but the likes of the Lastrum Core Clan (the only named one I could find) that kept the repulsor STCs away from the toasters.
Eh the tanks with same hull logic is probably one of the few realistic things about them. Look at WW2 tank designs and you'll see most of the tanks that saw major production had several variants.
I just love the symbolism inherent in the crossover plug: sun-/fauna-poisoned descendant of penal colony shouting out some of the best that the humble potato have given us. Thanks, British Empire! Mebbe y’all *did* do some good, after all.
So, you missed some, Although I guess it depends on the definition of 'tank' but as you DID include the manticore and griffon Im assuming your including mobile artillery too. Some absentees include: Basilisk, Bombard Mortar, Whirlwind, Razor back, and whatever the hell that chimera chassis C&C tank is called. An interesting thought: is a dreadnought (or other walker) a tank?

And do not even dare to say I'm wrong: the Emperor called the Astartes like that because of a woman called Astarte, which was supposed to be their "mom".
Ayyyyy my favorite dnd RUclipsr gets notified! Thanks Major!
Fun fact: Chimera aparently uses the engine of Panter from WW2 you know the one that liked to spontainousli combust.
Yea the HL230 V12 ,leman russ use it too,baneblade if im not wrong have 4 of them strap together
@@Aes880 “sir, the 17 pounder won’t fit!”
“Stick it in sideways.”
“There’s no room for the radio!”
“Cut a hole and have it stick out the back!”
“The engines no good!”
“Stick four car engines together.”
Well, that's just lazy writing.
So the Leman Russ Tank is basically the Imperium’s version of the M4 Sherman. Nice.
You make the worst times not seem so bad thank you for the few minutes of life that are happy
I'm extremly dissapointed you didn't use the "Pipe Organ" configuration of The Exorcist.
16:20 not even in the grim darkness of the 41st millennium one can escape the fucking KV-2
The 5 tank templates kinda makes sense since you only need repair parts for 5 different tanks mostly and not 10k local unqiues. Besides if one of those uniques broke down outside of its home system it would be unlikely to be repaired
Isnt the Baneblade technically classified as a light tank from the dark age of technology ?
Which is stupid tbh
no, it was never stated by any official source, besides, there's no reason for DAOT mankind having useless kilometer long tanks if they were suposedly so advanced.
people just want Bolo fantasies
@Tonya Patrick big emphasise on the "fi" in Sci fi here. Bolo fantasies are fine but they're so ridiculous, unimmersive and unrealistic that I just can't bring myself to like it.
@Tonya Patrick i'm just saying that despite looking cool, if daot had robots that can shoot continents, tanks that are too big would be actually very primitive
besides, official data say the predator was a mbt in daot, with only saying that it used to get better engines and weapons, but nothing about 50m+ tanks
Yes, and heavy tanks are 20 times bigger. Don't let noobs tell you otherwise
I loved this video, it was fantastic, but you forgot to mention the new hotness the Gladiator.
it actually makes a lot of sense that a galaxy spanning empire would only have like, 5 tank body types and stick different weapons on them. can you imagine how hellish it would be trying to get resupplied and repaired when every single world has 30 different tanks and none of them are the same as yours? shermans were mass produced out of loads of different factories while german tanks were really specialised, its why they took forever to build and ran out of parts while sherman printers go brrrrrr
Ummmm. I think you may have forgotten one little detail about the Cerberus…👏it has👏a neutron👏laaaAAAAZERRRRR!!!!!👏👏👏 😂
I mean the cyclops is based of the goliath remote controlled bomb used by the germans during WWII.
And the Cyclops is really only mainly used by the death korps of krieg so- I see what they were getting at there.
The reason the Imperium’s vehicles are all variants of 5 base models is for ease of logistics
Detonates cyclops: "god is great"
The inquisition would like to know your location. Heretic
The god emperor is great of course
"macro accelerator canon" just sounds like a fancy way to say "Railgun." Much like the MAC in Halo; Magnetically accelerated canon, AKA "Railgun." Or as GW intends, How Space Marines now stomp Tau with ease.
Ahh the Imperial Tanks, most of the OP vehicles. Badass designs
There is two reasons for the limitations in the 4 patterns.
1) The reality - GW wants to reuse molds and model parts to cut costs.
2) The lore - The Imperials use STC technology- which is STANDARD TEMPLATE. Their systems don't create new things - they take standard parts and put then together in different ways. So if you want a new tank - then you just take a Lehman Russ and swap out a few things for the task. The Land Raider- discovered later as an STC - same thing. The chassis usually is just Russ, Land Raider, Chimera, or Baneblade.
Here's a vid idea. Top 10 Dumbass/epic Ork moments.
Imperial Tank designer : let's use a tank design from 39.000 years ago
The falchion is a type of sword used in medival europe not a type of bird.
Yeah but the bird was named after the weapon, so ...
I think M.A.K. stands for Magnetically Accelerated Kinetic warhead, essentially it's a form of railgun.
“It’s like the Hellhounds, except for chicks”
I laughed a lot haha
It's because a Falchion is a sword, not a bird.
Personally I think every tank recovery vehicle should come with an optional tow missile.
So i rewatched the video and i just realized the first ship on the list was practically a UNSC ship from halo with weapons
What about the skorpius Disintegratior from the Mechanicus ?
Before the primaris, there was the piece of lore that describes the artisan clans on Terra for guarding their tech from admech and creating high tech gear exclusively for Custodes. Their sensor tech Arae Shrike that is in the banana helmets is considered heretical by mechanicus (probably because they themselves don't possess it). So I guess it is not even so much Inquisitors, but the likes of the Lastrum Core Clan (the only named one I could find) that kept the repulsor STCs away from the toasters.
Eh the tanks with same hull logic is probably one of the few realistic things about them.
Look at WW2 tank designs and you'll see most of the tanks that saw major production had several variants.
I just love the symbolism inherent in the crossover plug: sun-/fauna-poisoned descendant of penal colony shouting out some of the best that the humble potato have given us.
Thanks, British Empire! Mebbe y’all *did* do some good, after all.
So, you missed some, Although I guess it depends on the definition of 'tank' but as you DID include the manticore and griffon Im assuming your including mobile artillery too.
Some absentees include:
Basilisk, Bombard Mortar, Whirlwind, Razor back, and whatever the hell that chimera chassis C&C tank is called.
An interesting thought: is a dreadnought (or other walker) a tank?
"falchion" fal-cy-on
A short single bladed sword with a progressively wider body tapered toward the tip.
Basically the answer to the question: I like swords, but I also REALLY wanna lop this dude's arm off at the shoulder.
It's a fitting name. Stylish. But brutal.
The Guilliman video seemed to have done really damn well for your channel,maybe make making more videos dedicated to other primarchs would also work?
Grav tech on a tank?
Every single ordo xenos inquisitor: I dunno man, seems kinda heretical for me.

Are waiting at the end of my ride!
16:17 It's a KV-2 with extra guns
Majorkill, you should distance yourself from neckbeardia. When I joined his discord server I saw actually cihld pnor on it(I don't know what happened to the poster) and he had a link to a nazi discord server (it was cringe). Don't associate with him
"Jihadist- Boom goes the enemy, God is great"
Had me laughing for minutes!
Wai, wai wait - machine spirit so heavy that it continued to actively battle once whole crew was dead?! Wow... I feel urge to read a bit about that.
Ahhh... so good to see another episode! :) Great as always, I realy dig your sense of humor.
The only thing missing from the list is yet another primaris exlusive - the Gladiator... and perhaps Basilisk if you count it as a tank and not just fuckin big artilery.
Damn the ragnarok is built like a kv2 wtf
