Is this a baneblade or something just before it.

Heavy tank, Although theses were design as a medium.

So. Fuck if i know.

I'd love to have the plasticard skills to scratchbuild some Panzer III lookalikes for a Conqueror equivalent cavalry tank for my Chaos renegades.

I don't think you grasp the scale of a baneblade or the how densely they're built. No modern or historical tanks would be directly comparable to them.

Skull powered head lamps. Truly an age to live in.

French had some nice WW1 tanks.

...

It was never really build but the concept is truly 40k

Baneblade is something like three Maus in one, and that thing was never even built. So no, the point stands.

40k needs more casemate designs.

Given how GW can't into realworld stats, it could probably obliterate a baneblade.

Light tanks.

This might help

It is, but the idea was to be able to end up with a platoon or perhaps a company for large apoc floor games, that would look good but not break the bank. I couldn't get up to a standard I was happy with before giving up.

Looks genuinely 40k

For all of your lightweight, air-droppable dakka needs.

>that cutaway of the gunner

Not in numbers but it certainly was built, 2 anyway

Well, we know their heaviest armor is on par with an M60 Patton. :P And their designs are based of the Mark Friggin 5.

Yea, GW inadvertently made the shittiest tanks ever.

Where's the drive sprocket? aaaa!

It's the rearmost wheel. See the axial and transmission in the rear of the tank? Instead of using a wheel with cogs and teeth on the outside of the wheel and tracks, on the T-34 the cogs are in the center of the tracks.

Oh? What's the specs on plasteel?

It says right there at the bottom: Equivalent to 300mm of convention steel. Conventional. As in regular, carbon-and-iron steel. Not Plasteel. Just Steel. Sorry, but GW is about 4 decades behined modern armor technology. If they got so research done they'd know that they could claim far crazier numbers for their tank designs.

Plasteel and "conventional steel" have been used interchangeably in the fluff.

Is there literally anything that GW could do to make people stop quoting that old number?

Disband FW, disown anything they've ever done and start making HH themselves.

Fucking WG could have that turret.

What year is that book from again?

It is apparently from the first imperial armour book which was released in 2000.

...

Second. First one was of IG and Navy vehicles, second was SM and Inquisition. Published in 02.01.2004. Pic related is from Chapter Approved 2004, published in 09.30.2003.

8 single use Str 6 AP4 twin-linked small blasts on an AV10 all around body that can fire all of them at once. Range is 36 inches, fast vehicle, costs 80 pts or so. Can be taken in squads of up to 5. Basically the assumption is that the enemy will focus fire on them and kill most of them before they get into range, but the ones that do fire will make their points back.

...

Orks could totally pull this off.

What is that thing?

Pic name. It was a lightweight tank destroyer with 6 M40 105mm recoilless rifles. Designed to be air transportable. Was pretty shit, so the US Army dropped it, but the Marines were desperate for anti-armor vehicles and bought a bunch.

Thank you, kind user!
(I was actually being an ass, since 'ontos' means 'thing' in greek.)
Air mobile glass cannon (erm - 6 cannons) - why not?

I think the Marines actually loved the damned thing in Vietnam or Korea or something

Turned out to be a really good fire support platform in Vietnam. Marines loved it for that.

Good luck getting the British to agree to that

>Heavy Bolter with a bore bigger than a 12.8cm cannon

40k stats for a current gen MBT would be something like this

>AV10
>Main gun: Range: 48" S:7 AP:3 Heavy 1
>MGs: Range: 24" S:3 AP:6 Heavy 3

Rhino - M113
Chimera - Char 1B
Exorcist - M50 Ontos
Leman Russ - T-55 or M60
Land Raider - Mk.IV
Baneblade - T-28

Also a Landraider with a Veteran Termi Squad could probably take on the whole might of the US alone and laugh about it.

What do you propose to do against a nukeproof impenetrable vehicle that never runs out of ammo for it fucking 4 Laser Cannons?

But with an AV13 void shield that works against projectile attacks.

Mind giving us an example?

Ignore it and capture objectives. That's how combat works, right?

They dropped it because the manufacturer didn't suck enough Pentagon dick. Everyone loved them.

Blind and immobilize. Add constant artillery barrage on the blind, immobile metal box when feasible. Impenetrable =\= undamageable.

Top one is from a Russ schematic from a white dwarf, bottom from IA vol. 1.

How fast? Maneuverable? And how the hell do they reload?? (And rof, while we're at it, thanks!)

>dat lil panzer 2

eeeh! :3 peep peep

B1 ter. Disregarding sponsons or the M3 Lee, you won't get any real tank closer to a Russ.
Like a B1 bis, but more beautiful.

GW can't into number. At all.

A Landcruiser Ratte dwarfs a baneblade though.

AV10 is literally the "armor" of a Renault-FT ("Grot Tank"). It would probably be AV14 with AV11 sides and AV10 rear.

M1A2 Abrams

>Remote capability
>Urban kit
>Open terrain/speed kit
>Flexible platform easily adaptable to meet battlefield conditions

This is far and away the best MBT in the world right now. Fast, heavy armor, 105 mm main gun, .50 mg standard. Can lock on to 7 targets simultaneously -with the main gun- queing them all and firing on each in succession. This thing is made for 40k style battlefields.

It even got machine guns on the sides.

Chimera is more of a BMP, and Exorcist more of a a SLUFAE or any of the M112 variants equipped with rockets; here's a sanctorum pattern :

and a Vindicator:

You forgot its marvellous logistics friendly engine. Also the M1A2 has the Kraut 120mm.

Alright user, the Abrams is a good tank, and I understand that you like your country, but it's no reason to make silly claims like that.

If you want some tank education

Shadowsword probobly.

Deathstrike

Sicaran Battle Tank

>How fast?
35ish mph. It was fairly quick in the 50s.
>Maneuverable?
Very much so.
>And how the hell do they reload?
One guy stands behind it and reloads. You're not supposed to operate it in the open, you need to find a defilade.
>And rof, while we're at it, thanks!
As fast as your reloader can work.

They carry 18 rounds, originally HEAT, but replaced in Vietnam with HEAP flechette rounds. The guns can be removed from the vehicle and deployed normally as well.

>Cupola on the baneblade is the size of the Pz 2's turret
GR8 scaling there m8

It did go wrong, they only ever made like 6 prototypes. Plus, four treads requires four times the engine output and four times the chances for damage.

If you liked that then you'll like this.

Griffon

Yeah, being able to run on literally any fluid that will burn is pretty awesome.

reminds me of grot tanks

Sturmpanzer IV "Brummbar"

It's called Diesel, afaik most military vehicles use it.
I think he referred to its atrocious maintenance requirements and gas guzzling abilities.

It's called JP8 actually, literal jetfuel, but it's just money and logistics and the US has both to spare.

As usual, when Veeky Forums and /k/ collide, beautiful things happen.
So, let's consider the following statements :
1) 40k is a rather over the top universe, where everything is dialed up to eleven and a mere lasgun is more powerful than a .50 round.
2) WW2 tanks would barely be able to scratch the paint of a modern MBT, and that's in 70 years of development.

From this we can conclude that with 38000 years of additional development (yeh, not 38k years straight obviously but bear with me there), modern MBTs wouldn't stand a chance against their future counterparts.

Most fortunately we can work around that since the Imperium comprises worlds at various stages of technological advancement. We can easily imagine one where tank tech has barely reached our own level.

And there you are, enjoy your 40k Leclerc or whichever one you prefer (but really, the Leclerc).

They typically run on JP8 jet fuel, but you can fill it with diesel or gasoline or kerosene or french fry oil or two stroke premix or whiskey or running alcohol or literally anything else that is a liquid and burns. JP8 is just the standard fuel because that's what the military stocks in bulk.

According to RT there's a

AV12 front, AV 10 elsewhere else

Gun is S8 AP3, 90' range, heavy 1
Bow mounted heavy stubber, capoula mounted heavy stubber.

>1) 40k is a rather over the top universe, where everything is dialed up to eleven and a mere lasgun is more powerful than a .50 round.
That's wrong, though. A lasgun is the same as an stubgun, which is just an AK. It's also similar to a shotgun in range and power.

A .50 cal is a heavy stubber.

Dont they have an option to alter power consumption for more powerful shots but less ammo?

Some of them do. Some don't.

Huh. Fair enough.

Youd think an army on the Imperial Guards scale would have a little more standardisation.

You're forgetting that Imperium has the STC. Or, well, hard copies of STC designs. The whole thing was developed so that even a bunch of retards could make anything they needed.

That's why you have a lot of uniformity in vehicles across the galaxy, since they're all mostly based on similar blueprints, because innovation is nearly dead and that's what the codified piece of scripture says the tank should be made of.

Also, feudal and feral worlds are a thing, where people live in medieval or even more primitive conditions. But those worlds rarely produce their own tanks. Often it's forge worlds that produce the tanks or have factories on planets that produce their stuff by their design. Small arms and such are far more common to be produce on industrial worlds. For example Necromunda produces a lasgun pattern of their own.

Why was this never put into production? It's the perfect weapon for a multirole armored vehicle. It kills tanks, kills infantry, and presumably kills aircraft even if it didn't score as highly as the other loadouts for that role.

Probably not cost effective, especially considering the ammo consumption itd probably have to deal with

>Standardization
>From weapons being produced at tens of millions of different forgeworlds and billions of hiveworlds
It's comical that they're even all identifiable as lasguns.
