The newest addition to my Imperial Militia army, is the Malcador Heavy Tank from Forgeworld. Game play wise it's probably not the soundest choice, but I love the World War 1 look it has. This version has two autocannons in the sponsons, a demolisher cannon in the hull and a battle cannon in the ...turret? Not sure where they're stowing all the shells, but I guess it's not much different than 10 space marines sitting in a rhino! The tank is actually of appallingly bad design. It's so bad in fact that author John French directly addresses the tanks design flaws in his novel "Tallarn" by having one of the characters comment on how awful it is. Chief among them is the fixed turret. The tank then goes on to kill countless Iron Warriors without those design flaws having any impact whatsoever because...The Emperor!?!
28mm Vehicle for 20 points.
That's a very red tank Mike - must be quick because we all know that red'uns go faster.
