Grab some stuff, shirts, hoodies, stickers, etc.

And, uh, yeah, all should be good. DK., there's a man in my walls. Oh, no, again? Again, it's not you this time. You're gonna get those men out of your wall. Well, you told me. It's not shy this time either. You told me you weren't gonna tell people about that.

You were the one who chose to be in the walls. Yeah, but I just wanted to be cool and I thought it was gonna be a secret. And now I'm embarrassed. Oh no, the only person who was able to keep it a secret was shy Because she's two feet tall and that grown Ah, shy can't keep a secret DK, tell us by the other man in the walls Oh yeah, uh, uh, we have our wonderful friend of the show

Kiriath is here Uh, because Kiriath is gonna be, he's gonna be leading the episode today Kiryoth has got some real ridiculous stuff To talk about with it today I don't know what it is because I am perpetually in the dark I should live on Nostromo. So Karyoth, what's up, dude? Hello, I was going to try and do a little, like, a voice in, like a little voice of the walls thing,

and pretend I was actually in the wall, but I didn't know whether that would work, and then I just did it anyway, which kind of renders that whole thing totally pointless. But yeah, hello, I'm out of the wall, faces through, stuck it through, like in the shining, but less angry eye, more, like, more tired than angry. we're going to talk about the tanks of the space marines today because we've covered tanks. Tanks of the Imperial Guard. And let's face it, the only thing better than Imperial Guard tanks

are similar tanks but manned by genetically engineered super soldiers with questionable parenting behind them. So I think that's a good next one to do after the previous one. Are we including the horse heresy tanks as well? well or is this mainly the modern day? We've got to include some of the Horacee stuff because there's at least one in there that we'll get to it but it's easily

I think possibly the stupidest thing that's ever been made but in the best possible way that's gonna say that's a high bar it's pretty high. The stupidest thing ever made in 40? That's a high bar. There's been some dumb shit so I'm excited. It's true. Tell me more.

I say that actually there's like three things this list that it could be classed as like the stupidest thing ever made, but this specific one, it, they've tried to make it serious, which is why I think it's even stupid than the rest of it. But we need to build up to it, because it's also massive. If you're going to start tanks, you've got to start with the rhino, because it is the most widely used and most popular platform when it comes to space marines stuff, unless we're, you know, talking primarist stuff because you can't use primaries in it because it's the rhino. the humble, small rhino, that for some reason, nothing above a normal space marine can fit in.

Just don't think about it too much. They can't stoop. You can't fit six primaries in there. No. It's firstborn. It's the gameplay versus lore bullshit. Yep. Whatever.

There's got to be a little hunched in there. It's got to be crouched at heads. You could wedge four of them in, right? I haven't been over. It'd be fine. Wouldn't be comfortable, but it'd be fine. That looks like the most basic tank I've ever seen. Shy posted a picture of it.

That just looks like a very basic tank. This is a little on the small side, sure. But yeah, it's a tank. It's more like a... Just a box. Yeah, yeah, just a box on trends. They hide in metal boxes. Would it be more considered more of like an APC of anything?

Because it doesn't really have any real guns besides like a... Yeah, technically it's like... It's more of an APC than anything else, but it's also a platform for a bunch of other actual tanks, like artillery and actual mainline battle tanks and stuff. So the kind of basic, your standard rhino has just got 10 lads in it, and it just charges forwards, and they get out, and that's literally all it does.

It can go allegedly, allegedly 70 kilometres an hour on a road, which... Oh, my God. It's kind of impressive for something. that looks like that, to be honest. Yeah. As someone that knows nothing about like military tanks and stuff, what does APC stand for?

So, armored personnel carrier. Oh, I knew it had to some sort of personal transport thing, but as a dweeb that doesn't get out and watches anime all day, I had to ask. There has to have been an APC more of the animas you've watched. There's no... Probably, but they probably didn't call it an APC. right I probably called it like oh yeah this is a this is just a personnel carrier or something

also they like they're called the PC then well everyone getting the PC we're going let's we need to make move everyone getting the PC principle a PC is just a fucking bus get the wife who's in my PC now yeah oh that nice all right excellent Rhinos a lot of fun though it's it I they have in like a ton of other space marine based thing is like the like sisters have a rhino. Yeah, so it's like it's massively popular because it's just the most easily like

reproducible thing. And so the sisters of battle have a version well they've got a couple of versions. One that's got a giant pipe organ on the back because of course they do. It fires missiles. In fairness, it's not just a pipe organ, it also fires missiles of people. So that's, you know, that's

pretty standard. One that's got a massive flame throw on the front. Hold on You're turning to the pipe organ The organs fire missiles I am positive I showed you this I would be I would be sinned if I did not show you this It's my favorite fucking thing

Does it fly? Is there an actual organ there that they play keys And as they play keys On the model there is an actual sister of battle Playing a like organ keyboard I am so mad at you right now DK I literally This is like my favorite model I'm

ever painted. It's so good. That's amazing. I don't think you've shown me that. I feel like I would remember that. Yeah, it's called The Exorcist. And actually, yeah, the control panel does look like keys, but I remember there's a strategy I'm in game where, like, called devastating refrain. And so, like, despite the fact that they actually do

fire missiles, they are playing music. And I guess, like, the music fucks with Chaos' head or something. So if you're around it, you hear like the screeching of the organ, it's like, ah, the dark guns. That is amazing Although I imagine it would sound terrible Because the missiles are blocking up the organs You're not going to hear any of it

You're right Missiles How dare we not talk about realism in this situation I know Come on this is 40K The home of realism You've got to make sure that whilst you're firing missiles Out of your pipe organ

That the pipe organ is also audible Or it's just you know You gotta have the full experience So it's just not worth it You get it Because her kids need to know they're gonna die Yes Guys, those look awesome, though.

I gotta say, those are some fucking snazzy-looking tanks that the sisters got. Anyway, typical Bricky faction to take a Space Marine episode, pull towards sisters. Continue, carry-off. To be fair, they are kind of, they are cooler, let's be honest. Yeah, they're red.

They're really fucking cool. Yeah. No one likes to admit it. Everyone wants to think that Space Marines are the best, but they're not. Sorry, they're done. So, yeah. You're really going after Bricky's heart.

I'm, we'll talk later, my friend. Wink, wink, wink, nudge. Shite, he's been impressed by this. There's a few sisters of battle variants. So you've got the one that fires the missiles, the imalator, the exorcist, the repressor, which is also kind of cool. And now they've got a castigator battle tank, which is like a predator. So based on the rhino chassis again, but they've got a cooler main gun, basically. they just got the cooler version of what a predator is. So in terms of the space marines,

they really hammer a lot of stuff onto the rhino chassis. You've got the rhino itself, which has got the transport capacity of 10, then you've got a razor back, which is a rhino with a gun sticking out of the top hatch, or replacing the top hatch. So you can fit less guys in there, but it can have like a Las cannon or an assault cannon or something on the top.

There's the predator, which is, It's just a tank with, I think, there's not actually a huge number of different weapon loadouts for the Predator, is there? It's one of those ones where you've got a choice of kind of anti-personnel or anti-tank, apart from the bloody angles, you can cover it in Flamers, because of course they can. Oh, the Ball Predator, of course. The Prater, I think, it's just, it's like auto-canons or like the Twin Las Canaan. There's not a whole lot else past that, I don't think.

Yeah, it's not that customizable, which is, I still find a little bit weird. Given that there's more land raider variants than there are Predator variants, which feels weirdly off. Like you'd think there'd be a bunch of different ones for the Predator. But it's still cool. It's still a cool tank. But it is also still mostly a Rhino. So it's not massive, but you can stick a bunch of last cannons on it and pointed at armored things and watch them melt, which is nice. To be honest, though, the best, the best for the rhino, it's got to be the vindication. The Vindicator is the best version of that chassis

because it's just a rhino It's just a fucking stubby Just a massive Just a massive cannon That's all it is It's just the rhino with a massive cannon sticking out of the front of it And that's your lot

Lozor sled on it, yeah It's quality though The only thing that's better I would argue than the than the Just plain Vindicator Is the Vindicator Because that is

basically that same that same version but with a massive Oh my god What the fuck is that Is that like a quad melter barrel or something So that is that's the Vindicator Laser Destroyer array So it's just basically like a massive

Four Bowel Lazz cannon sticking out of the front of her Of an, it's a Horacee era demolisher But you cannot tell me that that isn't the coolest version of that What the hell? Hell yeah. What a sweet name for a gun, too. Holy shit. I want to read the rules of this thing. What is this thing? Laser volley cannon. Heavy 3, 9 minus 3, D3 plus 3.

Or overcharged, 10 minus 4 flat 6. Oh, Lord. It's quality. I love it. Is that good? Is that good, Brickie? Flat 6 damage in this game is pretty fucking rare. That's, that's hilarious. It's just such a big gun. They just took the biggest gun they could fit in it and just rammed it into the front

and went off you go, let's go. Just point it in that direction and watch things disappear. Similar to that, though, there is another horse heresy vehicle which is, it doesn't look like it's based on the rhino, but it technically kind of is,

and that's the Sabre. So there is some of the Sabre Strike Tank, which is like a one-man tank. And you can have them as anti-personnel, you can have them as anti-armour, and they are super, super weird. They are weird-looking vehicles because they're mostly like the rhino,

but they, like, reduce the armour on the front of it and take, like, kind of, the slope of the track changes at the front as well. Oh, yeah, it does, like quite a bit. But it's listed as a rhino variant, so. It looks a little bit like the, um, like the Spartan with like the way the tracks have changed. Yeah, it does. But that's, that's really bizarre. They have this giant opening for the gun that like looks like someone can just eat a grenade

in there. Yeah. It's like it's like it's made of paper, frankly. It looks like it very much a, okay, we'll just get a bunch of these, stick a bunch of lads in. We might get two back, but as long as they do something in the meantime, that's great. I mean, there's only like, there's the driver's seat and that's it. So you're not really, you can't be, expecting that much out of it. Also, I like the fact that the one shy posted has got two Volkite as the, uh, there's the weapon load up. Yeah, typical. Clearly the best version of that. It's, uh, it's, it's, it's, it's, currently it's like the strongest weapon you'd use in the tabletop. Ah, okay. So this, this, this, whoever's using this tank is a sweaty tryhard.

Uh, I don't think you can even use it on the tabletop. At least not in a 40K variant. It's very much a horse, hairsty thing. But it is, yeah. I can't like it. It's kind of cool. It's silly, but it is, it is like a cool little tank. Although, yeah, like I say, it looks like it's made of paper, though, which is kind of a downside. It's like there's so many weak spots on it. Also, having hardly any armour on the front tracks, like less than you would on a normal rhino is a choice, given that that surely just makes it more prone to being disabled. But I'm sure they knew what they were doing. I'm sure it's fine. I mean It's 40K

There's weirder looking weak stuff I guess You know You got the guard Well the guard Are just more numbers But I mean yeah

It'll be fine It'll be fine It'll be fine It'll be fine Just put it back together It can't be that difficult right Technology is super easy In 40K

So it shouldn't be a problem Oh yeah We didn't forget about it whatsoever Just get a couple AdMack They'll Put it right back together

No there is There is a razorback. The razorback is not, it's like the rhino. It's just a transport, but the razor back's got a gun on top. It's otherwise not that interesting. There's not a huge amount you can do with them outside of maybe give them two different weapons, which is kind of fun. There is one variant, though, which hands down is, I think, the silliest version of anything on a rhino chassis,

which is the razorback Ricarius. So this is a Blood Ravens thing Oh my God, is that? Sorry, no, continue, please. Keep going. Where they decided to stick hurricane bolters on the side of the razor back, having put assault cannons on the top of it, and the shield from a demolisher on the front of it.

So basically, this has got, I mean, this has effectively got the same load out as one of the Land Raider variants, but the Land Raider is a massive tank. and this is still just a rhino. This is... They can't it out! That is so much darker. Oh my god.

I'm such a small vehicle as well. It's still just a rhino. That's all it is, but it's just like, ah, we've got a bunch of guns. Let's just slap them on there. It'd be fine. Let's see what happens. That's the model of 40K. DK, to make it with some respective, that gun on the top is an assault cannon And I think Talos used one of those at the end of the Nightlord books when they had the Terminator armor. Oh.

He had like the big rotary cannon. So there's two of them up there. And a hurricane bolter is three or is six bolters strapped together on the left side of that thing. And then there's another one on the other side. So it's a little bit of firepower. Yeah, that's a little bit. That thing is just slaughter infantry. I feel like the entire interior of that is just it's just ammunition

there's nothing else in there they can't say anything else in is there any reason not to kid out a rhino with like guns and stuff because like there's all these variations that is there any reason to just roll in a rhino like is it going to hold more troops and that's why you wouldn't put any guns or a big missile launcher on the back or something like that is it just because it's a better transport and holds more people Pretty much, yeah. The different variants are just geared for different

things. So, like, the rhino covered in guns is just the predator tank, because it's still the rhino chassis, but they stick Sponsons where the side doors are and it has a proper turret as opposed to like a stripped down turret, like, on the top of that thing. So it kind of goes all the way from pure

transport capacity, all the way up to kit it out with a bunch of weapons. And so it's kind of like, there's lots of space in between for it to be really specific. So, things like the whirlwind for the rhino that's proper backline artillery there's also an anti-air version of it as well which doesn't have transport capacity but can shoot down aircraft so it's like the i think it's probably the most like adaptable kind of vehicle chassis that there is really i said

alongside the chimera for the imperial guard like they both kind of fill the same thing of we can either fill it full of lads or fill it full of ammo for the massive gun on top Yeah, it seems like it's like the Mr. Potato Head of tanks Or even just interchange the little bits and bubbles for what you need Whether you're happy, sad, or kill all the heretics I'm gonna use that for one I think we're always in kill all the heretics mode Well actually actually these are used by the chaos space marines as well

So I guess we're not quite in that situation But sometimes you want different ears or maybe a hat or a quirky smile while you're killing heretics, right? You know what? You're damn right. It's the Mr. Potato Head of Tanks. That's going to be on the next, like, like the next recruitment poster.

Would you like to drive a Rhino? It sits the Mr. Potatoe Head of Tanks. Sign up today. I would love to see the imagery on that poster. Someone's got to draw that poster, right? Someone's got to be some good 40s propaganda stuff. Perfect. If we don't get obliterated with Mr. Potato Head Tank Art by next week, I'm going to be so upset Twitter.

Oh, oh, I'm so upset Twitter, he says, as if, there are mine. Shy was picking up food, she ordered for a second, and she came back to this conversation. So don't worry about it, shy. hear all about it when you edit this monstrosity of an episode so you're fine, don't worry about it. To be fair, the crossover between 40K and Mr. Potato Head is like, it's surprisingly

broad. It happens a lot. You wouldn't think it, but it definitely does, and that's not just something that's come out of this randomly. I don't believe you. That's all I ever read. That's what I ever read about 40K, just you know, Mr. Potato Head integration, all that sort of thing.

It's really common I'm really glad we've moved past political commentary We've gone straight into Mr. Potato Head Alright, this is fucking stupid What's the next tank you guys? So we mentioned it earlier The next step up from the Rhino Is the Land Raider

And it's also, I would add My easily my favorite tank Because it's It's like It is classic 40K It's a giant box on wheels Covered in highly destructive weaponry It can also transport

Terminators, which makes it immediately, massively cool. So it's super heavy armored. It's great. It's so good. And they've made a shedload of weird variants for it. So there's a bunch

of different types of Land Raider. Some of which, by the way, I don't think you'll ever see on the tabletop, but they exist and that's enough for me. You might never see it, but there is a version of the Land Raider that has has eight las cannons on it.

Because you need eight las cannons. Oh. Wait, is it two like quad lascannons or something? So it's the Landrader Terminus Ultra. And it's got the twin lascannons on the front turret. It's got twin lascannons on either side. And then an extra two last cannons. Because you can never have too many las cannons, right?

I thought they would just put quad last canons on. Why they put two tiny little last cannons in the firing line of the two smaller last cannons? To be fair, this is quite old. Like, we're kind of plumbing the depths of some of the oldest stuff for some of these. But it's just the fact that they're real. I just love that it's real.

Because it shouldn't be. That's stupid. We can all acknowledge that's really dumb. But look how many last cannons it's got. That's the best thing about it. Yeah, but your opinion is, is me, because look at how many last canons. Forget reality.

Look at how many las cannons it's got. I mean, you say, you say like it's blocking its own firing lines as though that's a bad thing. Although, I mean, you can only fire one. It'll go down six last cannons real quick. Yeah.

Well, you can only fire one of the rear two on either side so that you don't eliminate the one in front of it, in which case there was no point having that front one in the first place. No matter how you're, look at it, it's not a good design, but someone made it. And that, that just makes me happy. And there's, there's, like, quite a few of these.

So there's a Blood Angels version, because, you know, Flamers, got to have Flamers. So they did the Angel In Forners, which is, which is just a Landrader covered in Flamers because of, yeah. Is that basically a Landrater Redeemer, but with two extra Flamers and then a multi-milts on top? Yes, that's pretty much exactly what that is. It really is. The salamanders are sweating. Oh, yes, I was going to ask DK this, actually, because I'm sure Brickie already knows the answer to this question. I do.

Where do you think the name Land Raider came from? If you had to take a wild guess as to why it's named the Landrader, what would you go for? Well, I mean, it starts off as a troop transport, so I would assume that it, you know, brings the raiders on land to their destination, so it's a land raider, because it's a transport, and it raids, and it goes across the land, all scupity boop-a-de. So, yeah, land raider. Takes a lot of termies, takes a lot of soldiers into the raid, I guess. That's very sensible, that's very intelligent. You're wrong. It's because the guy who discovered the STC, is called Arcan Land.

No, shut up. Shut the fuck up. No, he's not. No, he's not. Stop it. The guy's name is land. So they called it the Land Raider.

It's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. It's so fucking stupid. It's so bad. Why? I just, every time, that's one of those things where I try and block it out, if anything. I try not to think about it and then I'll just be minding my own business

and I'll suddenly remember that it's named after Arkin Land and inwardly, sometimes like out loud I'd be like, for God's sake, just, it's the equivalent of like, well, why was it called the Bolter? Well, the guy who created it was called Harold Bolt. Jeremy Bolt.

Like what? Yeah. No, his name was, his first name was Bolt. His middle and last initials was E and R. I do know that the Astardis are called the Astardis because there's a lady biologist that worked with the emperor her name was Astardis

No Is that you're fucking me That's not That is actually Yeah That one is a lot less painful than the Landrader in my opinion It is

It is like Yeah I think Astartis is like enough of a Enough of like a Just a weird word that you can get away with it bit more, but when the word is land and it's referring to a tank, there's just no, you can't, you can't

be doing that. That's not, it's not on. Who came up with that? Who came up with that and how drunk were they? It's the same thing with Lousgums, actually. But we don't talk about that. What do you mean? It's the same thing with Lazz guns. Oh, Blu-Ton-Tal there's a guy named Lazz. Oh, no,

no, I thought it was Lazz. I can't tell it. I can't tell if you're fucking with me or not. No, I'm totally fucking with you. Oh, thank Jesus. Oh, my God. I just wanted to hear the anger and the panic. Some shit is okay. I mean, the Lehman Rust tank was named after Lehman Rust because the Space Wolfs founded, if I'm not mistaken.

But I heard they have a new guard tank coming out, and they're going to call it like Rogel Dorn, and that just, I don't know how I feel about that one. I don't like that one. I don't like it. It doesn't roll off the tongue at all. Like, Lehman-Russ tank sounds right. Rogel-Born tank just sounds... Uh-uh. To honest, it's already confusing enough

with the Lehman-Russ tank now that Lehman-Russ is available as a miniature. Like, that's, I already think that's like... We've already crossed into... There's a genuine question if someone says, I just bought Lehman-Russ. It's like, I could be talking Primark or Tank. That shouldn't be an issue, but it is.

Don't confuse it even more. Don't have more tanks named after Primark's. It's just going to get massively, vastly confusing if we keep going with this. Yeah, agreed. Next tank, Kiryoth. Let's go. So, there are, I'll just chuck these in. You can just giggle out of them in your own time.

The land raider aggressor and Ares, both made by the Dark Angels. Yes, one of them does have a demolisher cannon and a shield on the front of it. Oh, wait, that's a land raider? Oh, my God. Yeah. So, again, a personal favorite. Sponson mounted twin-linked heavy flamer Assault can't demolish a cannon and dozer blades

Oh my god, look at all the guns on the side of this thing too What is that? Oh my god, the Dark Angels make a heavy boulter plus Hurricane Bolter crusader I'm so sick of them putting a fucking gun in the front panel of these things Every single variant has one I know that it's not in the line of fire because I know they can could rotate, but I'm still mad about it's a stupid design. Like, let's be honest,

the main design for the land raider isn't, it's okay, but this takes it to a whole new level of daft, because like, at least with the standard land raiders, whether it's the normal one, the Redeemer or the crusader, like the spons and weapons can rotate individually and they can fire off to each flank,

which is fine. As soon as you stick another gun directly in front of them, they just become worthless. Like, it's just bad design all round. But that's why, I find them as funny as I do, because it's like, why would anyone do this? You sat there and went, yeah, this is definitely a good idea. I know it's probably the perspective of that second Land Raider you posted, but it looks like those guns would immediately fire into the dozer blade

and just blow the tank up. It looks like they're right in line with the dozer blade. It's like, what happened? We fired the back gun. Goddell. Do you know how many of these you've blown through this week? Can you just stop? please.

Can just angle the gun a little bit before you fire it? God. The normal Lanerator has the two twin las canons and then like the heavy bolters. That one looks okay. I can work with that one. That one's all right. It's when you start getting to these weird, older, like, older. I don't even know when some of these are even applicable, to be honest with you.

Some of them feel like they've been put together when they had vehicle design rules where you could kind of do your own thing for a bit. Some of them feel like that, but there's like official models of. them and it's like when was this thing and why most importantly before we shift over to the new grav tanks that the primary gas access to we have to quickly mention the classic

Land Raider which is the Land Raider which is based off the old original land raider what the fuck is that that's the new version of that right that's new yeah that's the new version of the

original Land Raider Oh, boy. Those treads, holy shit. I think they like World War I. Just an idea, you know, just a thought. Yeah, yeah, it's very, uh... The thing is, to be fair, they've done a good job modernizing what was otherwise a very, very dated model,

because that's the actual original that they've tried to make a new version of. Oh, my God. That was the first It's so fucking fat It's so fat I look at the beiki Oh yeah He's got the bekees

Hey we're getting new beakees soon That's true We're getting new horse heresy beikies But man that looks like the worst design It looks like it'd be so easy To just blow off one link in those treads And this thing is completely fucked It also looks like it would

Roll uncontrollably For like onto its front or its back if it hit any sort of, any sort of hill. Oh, yeah. Small little rocky plateau, and this thing's just going to roll forward onto its fucking face. Maybe that's how they used it. They charged it,

then they slammed the brakes on so that it starts to roll forwards and it just rolls through walls. Maybe that was the original idea behind it. It does have, it does have 360 degrees of tread, so if it did roll forward, it would just keep going

and eventually roll back to upright, I guess. self- it's like a self-writing tank so it's fine history and their that's an actual that oh my god that's that's world war war war one days yeah that's what those old tanks looked quite like that though Jesus Christ yeah like the first the first tanks were pretty they were pretty wild to be honest

the thing is though that was like they weren't like good because no one knew what they were doing yet but at least to me that looks like it's that looks less likely to just roll over than the Landrader. That's at least long, right? It looks like it has a good amount of, like,

I don't know what the phrase is, where it's got a good amount of contact with the ground. To be there, though, the real one looks like it has so much more like, it's like almost like front heavy, and it looks more likely to fall over. To me. Am I crazy?

I, I think, I think, like one little blip and it's just, and it just tilts over, right? I don't know, but I don't want to get too angry with the, with the tank people, because there's a lot of those in 40K. You know, at least we're not making fun of, like, the tiger. We are making fun of it, but it's, this is like the era before anyone knew how to actually make a tank. This is, like, their, their first real attempt at, like, uh, tank warfare. So, I mean, we're being harsh on them, but, like, at the time, I'm sure it was, like, a technolize. Marvel, right? Also, that'd be terrifying if you saw that coming towards you and you'd never seen anything like it before.

Like what the hell? I think it was a good part where it was like, it was very much in the line of like, hey, we got to get through like no man's land. Because it's covered in mines. Yeah. And crap. And then it's like, hey, here's the giant box that you won't die to. Like, hey, tank. Shai said tank people.

Oh yeah, good thing no one on this podcast right now owns like 50. 15 Lehman Russes. I overproper. Actually, that was me. Oh, that's Bricky! You own 15 Lehman Russes? I own quite a few Lehman Russes, yeah. I'd be honest, I also

own quite a lot of Lehman Russes as well. When are you going to say it? You need a lot of Lehman Russes. Really? You do? Oh, yeah, you definitely do. Well, I mean, it depends on what you're running, but... I do an armored company, so I only have Lehman Russes.

I could take other tanks, but why would you when the Lehman Rus exists and is the pinnacle of Imperial Guard tank design outside of that massive one that's got the flamer on it which none of what I've just said is true but that's how I like to play the game so it's fine it's fun I was going to say I thought it had to be Curiof because I know Curiaf for two things tanks and knights that's it very interesting facts on them that's fair that's fair having a good time right now with those knights at this moment this and interesting stuff coming around. Oh yeah the chaos nights that's right And the new codexes are coming out.

Yeah. I might be buying more nights. I'm not going to lie. They look pretty good. They look pretty good. They're not tiering it good, but they look pretty good. I mean, it's anything teary need good at the moment. No, nothing is ever really fucking tiering it good.

Anyway, what's you got next for us? Is these fucking grav tanks? Yeah, we've got the primaries grav tanks. So Berzari's cool showed up with anti-grave and just slapped it all over vehicle. which I'm personally not a fan. People like them, that's fine. We've got the impulsor which is the kind of rhino equivalent sort of. It's got

a limited transport capacity because they stuck a gun on the back of it. It's also open top so I think everyone just sits in the back like a pickup truck but without wheels. Then there's the gladiator which is the impulsor but with more tank attached to it with a slightly bigger turret and slightly better guns, yeah, there's the impulsor. It looks really cool, actually.

I am a grav-tank fan, personally. I like the way the impulsor looks, though in particular, I'm excited for when we get to the repulsor executioner because that thing just gives me a giggle. See, this is the thing. I'm not a fan of the impulsor. The Gladiator is getting closer to the mark for me,

because it just looks, well, It looks like beefier and meaner and more heavily armoured because it is, because it's not got an open back. But the best, the best grav tank outside of the gigantic one from Forge World is the repulsor and the repulsor executioner. And of the two of them, the repulsoryligeon is solid. That looks like a mini-battle ship. That's the repulsor.

That's the gladiator. Yeah, that's the gladiator. I think it's quite, it looks pretty cool. That is a cool I think it's doing pretty well I will admit The open hatch on the back of the impulsar is a little bit bizarre

But the The repulsar Executioner is like I love this stupid fucking tank It's so good It's so good I don't love the way the Imperial Fist one looks actually It looks too much like a taxi cab

That's most imperial fists That's supposed to their Their color is bright yellow and they've got a big black fist logo I guess that's fair so yeah these are cool they are actually

they are actually pretty solid and the fact that there's two guns on the turret it's something that I didn't think I would like when they first showed it off but it's really grown on me it looks very over the top the amount of fucking guns are on that thing

there's a there's a common joke DK that when that tank came out someone just edited this shit. Like, no, you're gonna put on some guns. We'll add some guns. I forgot about that.

When you first posted that, a part of me, it was like, oh yeah, that's probably an official tank. I mean... The previous land raiders just kind of ruined that now, isn't it, in a way? It's like they weren't that far off that to begin with. Like, if you look at the data sheet for the repulsor executioner and says, the repulsor execution is equipped with two frag-storm grenade launchers, a heavy onslaught, Gatlin Cannon, macroplasma incinerator, two storm bolters, twin heavy bolter, twin

Icarus, iron hail heavy subber, and auto launchers. And this unit can also take one iron hail heavy subber and one Icarus a rocket pod. It's like, it's just like the shooting phase for that fucking tank is so long. Damn. So, so, uh, Belisari's call just showed up and put a bunch of anti-grab shit on tanks. Is that how these things got made? Pretty much, yeah. I don't know that there's ever been like, I don't know if they've ever confirmed

it's like an STL that he found or whether he has been innovating again which he really shouldn't do but then look what he's come up with I think people, well I say people it seems to be you know they're letting him go, they let him do it

they let him get on with it because he keeps bringing things like the repulsor executioner and covering it in weapons so call one of those weird guys and get away with that kind of shit because he's well kind to get away with that kind of shit Yeah. Because it would take a lot of power to, like, levitate one of these fucking tanks.

So that's got to be some crazy tech. If I remember right, it absolutely obliterates people if it goes over them. Like, the field underneath it just ruins stuff. Which you'd kind of expect, to be honest. When you look at the state of it. Also, I'm... Sorry, go on. Although I was just saying you have to, like, you have to levitate.

like 10 tons or something like with a force need to push down I imagine it just rolls over someone that's getting and that'd be a great way to just you know just storm forward as you're shooting like oh we didn't kill him don't worry we're about to run this fucker over damn what is this this fucking death watch repulsar look at that shit that is such a cool way to make that model

god damn is that a turret on top of the turret oh that was already there Oh, okay This thing has so many guns The hell Jesus Christ It's painted very well It looks very cool though

But good Lord, that's so many guns Yeah It's like the more you look at it The more guns you see Yeah Even if you know what it has By looking at the data sheet You still end up

Looking at it and going Oh no, that's where that weapon is And then you find another one Just slightly above it And it just goes on endlessly The guy has a gun there's the gatlin gun under him there's the main big old fucking tank gun

and then under that there's like what two las guns are there any other guns that I'm missing on this thing is that a gatlin gun kind of sort of sticking out of the side or the left right there is a rocket launcher of some kind of like a grenade launcher there's also one to the right hand side oh god there is Jesus Christ of course there's a rocket launcher

why wouldn't there be also I think I think on the back behind those two antennas, those are actually two more guns sticking out of the backside. Oh my God, I thought that was, I was just flourishes, but you might be right. It's the ones that are kind of out of focus in the way back. Mm-hmm. It's really, it's something, all right. Yeah, it's something.

It's covered. It's covered. Now, the step up from that, from that is the, is the Estreus tank. Oh, I was so happy. I was really excited. if we were going to talk about this one. Let's go! Yep. It's the Estreus super heavy tank, which is

it's, imagine like, imagine the repulsa, but a gigantic turret on top with accelerator cannons on it, and it's gigantic, it's massive. Oh my god. Wow!

That is a, that's a big boy. It's choky. Oh, shit. It's fucking enormous. enormous. Wow. Here's a good reference. The tanks next to it are the repulsor executioner we just talked about. It is stil-

Huge. Holy shit! It dwarfs those repulsors! It's fucking nervous. Oh my god. Absolutely. I love the Astrayis. It's honestly like one of my favorite tanks.

It's so dumb. And it's so great. Great. Damn. Do all those little, are those plates on the side of, they just open up

for troop transport? It doesn't have transport capacity. It can't transport anything. What? It's just guns. It's just a massive, just massive guns

and a shield generator. It's what you get on that thing. Okay, so this is legit, it is the main purpose, it's a battle tank, it's going in to fuck. It looks like it could hold so many, troopers though.

That's the thing. It's so gigantic. When they first revealed it, I was like, well, that's got to be, that's got to be part transport, right? And then they were just like, no, no, we don't have any of that. We've got macro accelerator cannons and that's what you get it. Enjoy it. Okay, we will.

We will enjoy that. Still, yeah, yeah, sure. Yeah, it transports guns. Lots of guns. Big guns. Quinn macro accelerator cannons. God damn it. It's also got those plasma eradicators.

on the sides as well. Plus the heavy bolters. Well, you could have Las Rippers. Yes, you could have Las Rippers instead of the plasma. I actually unironically think this tank might be genuinely decent in the new meta. Cool. Like, it's really rare when you get a tank that's this big that's actually good. Yeah.

But this one in particular with having a two-up arm T8 and 30 wounds and it also has two full void shields and the new armor of contempt to remove one AP. I think this thing is actually a legitimate fucking threat and I think it could be really fun if you rolled it with like iron hands. Oh my god, just make it boardline invincible. Just flowing around the battlefield. Throw a tech marine on it, give a plus one a hit, slap a strap the stratums. like the one that gives like a six up, you know, pain, whatever, and then there's got the, there's that one that's like mercy is weakness where you, like, are you auto wound or like

you have double wounds or something? I bet this thing could be fucking disgusting. I kind of love how sleek it looks actually, because like most of these, like, most of these tanks are like big, boxy and thick, um, but like the, the strives super heavy is kind of like sleek and slend. It looks, it looks really good. Yeah, she looks like super. the modern. Especially compared to the older firstborn tanks, like the rhino in the land raider and all of those, it looks super sleek compared to all of those.

Yeah, it looks really modern, really sleek. I love it. I love that design. I think that's my favorite tank out of all of them so far, which I guess probably isn't that big of a deal, but... Oh, what the fuck? Iron Hands could literally spend two CP to have this vehicle re-roll all their hits. Oh, my God.

That's so good. with this thing. What the hell? Oh, what? Okay. All right. Oh, my. Oh, no. I can feel a forge rule purchase coming on here. I'm just, I'm just saying, man.

This thing's got some, it's got some bites. Question is, can you last until the end of the recording to purchase it? Or is it going to be like a mid-podcast buy? Forge to world. So what do you think about that, Bricky? And it's just going to be dead silent. and just furious keyboard typing. Yeah.

Bricky. Ricky? Listen, listen. Listen, I just want to see how much it costs, okay? A lot. $600. Not that much. $391.

Ooh, still. That's still spicy. Actually, that's less than I would have guessed. A little same? After the price rise, I really thought that would have gone up quite a bit. It's 254 quid here. So, I think that's not that. Bad compared to what it...

Not that bad. Yeah, not that bad, you know, overall. Compared to what expected. Why is the Legion glave a fucking $335? What's the Legion Glave? Oh, we are getting to that, don't worry. Okay, good. Anyway, we won't stick tooth log on the history.

I said, it's like this... I don't like this thing. Go ahead. Super cool, yeah. We're kind of like at the end of the 40K stuff for the most part, there is stuff that can be used in both Horacee and 40K and this is

where some of like the really ridiculous designs and stuff comes out. Adeptis ridiculous. I should have... Damn it, I missed it. Don't worry, we got you. We got you. He has got you.

The first one is the I can never say this. Arch-A-Cat-or? Arquit. I don't know how to... A-R-Q-U-I-T-O-R. I don't know how to say it. I never have.

It's the stupidest looking dick at the receipt. They are weird. They are super weird. So that's the heavy bombard version. There's also one that somehow manages to get even weirder than that because it's also a bombarder, but with a massive grav-gun.

strapped to the back of it. It's one of the weirdest designs I've ever done, this thing. What does the grav gun do? I believe it creates like a mini black hole, if I remember correctly. The grav gun, it's more powerful, the heavier your, like, masses.

So I think it, like, turns the weight of the person against you. So, like, if you're wearing Terminator armor or something, it just, like, crushes you. Oh, okay, cool. It uses gravity against you. What the fuck? is that tank though. Like genuinely.

It's basically like the cigar and chassis but backwards? It looks like one of those things that they drive that have like oversized load on the back that used to carry rocket parts. It does. It does. It's so weird.

Such a big fucking gun on the back. What the hell? It's definitely like one of the weird ones. Wouldn't it be better to have the gun forward and not in the back all tilted and... I don't know. Well, I'm assuming it's artillery. Yeah. Yeah. It's

back of the battlefield artillery. But it's still... I think it's the fact that it looks so close to the Sakharan. The Sakharan is a great-looking tank. That's something that is usable in both games. And the Sakharan is one of the best-looking tanks that they do.

That's exactly what it was. Is that the Sakharan shy? Doing the Sakharan dirty with that. Accurate though. Goddain. What's this car look like again? Oh, right, this one.

We saw this one a little bit in the Horace Trailer. Yeah, yeah. It's one of the, I think it's one of the best looking tanks they've done. It's, in a weird way, it looks a little bit more like, I don't know, like, sleek than

things like the, uh, than the rhino and the land raider. But it's, yeah, A massive Accelerator Auto Cannon Turret Lice cannons on the side It looks great

Reminds me a lot of the Halo Scorpion Tank You know it's kind of got like all the stuff Situated in the back Front like treads go out forward And the big top turret on the thing You know kind of kind of reminds me of that And that's probably one of the reasons why I like it It's very

You know The Scorpion Tank always felt at least somewhat grounded in reality To an extent Yeah I'm not I've not made that connection before, but yeah, actually, it does, it is quite reminiscent of that, isn't it? Also, this is, this is fast for what it is, given it as a battle tank, it's like 74 kilometers an hour on a road. It's faster than the rhino?

Yeah, it's terrifying. It's quite a bit, is it smaller than the rhino, like quite a bit? Or is it still pretty gigantic? No, I think it's much larger than the rhino. It's bigger than the, yeah, it's bigger than the rhino by quite a bit. Yeah. I don't know why, but when I saw a picture of it, I was thinking like,

um, I was thinking like, it was like a, uh, sort of like a fighter tank that was like smaller and only held one person and it could like move really quick. Um, so you could have like squadrons of these things,

kind of like fighter jets for the land. Um, but oh, never mind. They're gigantic. Okay. They still look really cool though. Like,

a classic, uh, Sherman style. No? Sherman. The, the fuck is that? What the fuck is that?

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! I was just waiting for the right time to drop that in that's the Zakharan Punisher

which has just got a massive rotary cannon on it which is I think one of the I don't know like that's a 50-50 to me on stupid and awesome I think that's like that's like the perfect mix I think my issue with is that it could so easily have the gun placed like in the front where the heavy bolter is or like they can find

some way to probably do that instead but they have it they have it a hanging off the side by a tiny little like belt fed mag and this little hand like that hand like it's shot and you're fucking done

it looks weirdly janky doesn't it it's like they haven't they didn't plan it they just had the gun and went oh shit just just hanging off the top it's fine let's go and then that's what they did It looks like the tank is giving the rotary gun a hug, just like, this is my best friend.

It's like a mask gun over his shoulder. This is my best friend. Oh, wow. What's that? That's the tank hunting variant, which has got a neutron laser projector sticking out of the hole. Nice thing is, I pull that up, because you mentioned put in the rotary cannon, like where the heavy balter is, they did that for this tank. Yeah, they did.

Why they didn't do it's the other one. Would have been so great if they did that for this big-ass fucking neutron cannon. Just have it hanging on by a little, my best wind arm, you know. Be consistent, GW. Come on. This is the Venator, right? Yeah.

Or Venator. Designed purely for just murdering, murdering other tanks. That's all it can do. But it looks solid. I didn't play a lot of, A world of tanks, but it reminds me of like the tank destroyers that it's the big front facing gun That you fire from like really far away

Yes, um, oh Is the Herta is it called? I forget the I forget the names of them, but I don't remember I know I couldn't I hardly knew her Oh my god What's the uh, do you have an image of the Sakarian omega? I want to see that plasma array. Oh, yeah, yeah, I I I I I was just about to put that in, that is also one of the best I mean, look

at that. Oh. What the fuck is this? Look at it. It's so good. It's so stupid. What did you say those guns were by the by? Plasma radiciers? Oh,

Omega Plasma Array. Yep. Omega Plasma Array. array, holy shit. And just in case those don't work, there's a little gun on the side too, you know, just in case. And a little very bolt are sticking out the front,

just in case, just in case. You've always got to have, you always have to have a last cannon. No matter what the tank is, you always need a last cannon. That's pretty much the, I think the foundation of every space marine vehicle. It's like, is it complete? No, because it doesn't have a las cannon on the side.

Okay, well, we'll do that and then it's good to go. So are those basically just two giant fuck-off laser cannon array things? Is that what they shoot out? Just fucking giant fuck-off lasers? Two massive plasma cannons. Yeah, they're plasma. Okay, gotcha. What's the new Horacee model that just got a plastic?

That would be this, which is the Spartan. Oh, the Spartan? Like a Landrador, isn't it? massive. Huh. That looks all right. The Spartan's a lot. Well, the new,

the new Spartan I think looks a lot better. It's got some, it's got some differences. I think there's like some added detail and stuff on the plastic one they showed off.

There we go. Yeah, that's the one. It looks a little like, I don't know, maybe just the color or, I don't know. You know,

it looks fine. It looks good. But after going from like the stuff we just talked about with all those big fuck-off cannons to just like, oh yeah, look at the big tank with treads. Oh, well, it's okay, because they do also do the Cerberus version of the spawn. Oh, gosh. Now we're talking.

I feel like you can take every single tank that you've got here, and then you just have a version that has a big fucking dick gun sticking out of the front. Pretty much, yeah, yeah. It's like, you're going to show me something really simple. God damn it, shy. That one's got a little bit of a head sticking out. You got some joke about Warhammer fans and compensation here. It's like, hey, here's the Land Raider, and here's the Land Raider Pener.

It's got like a fucking laser destroyer in the front. Oh, the original Spartan is such a derpy fucking. It really is. I don't even think that's an official model. I think that's a kit bash to make one. Oh, my God. Even the painting, it looks like a sidecaughty with a dirty face. what is that?

That's amazing. That's some guy who converted a Spartan into a corn version, but it's like a penis, so I wanted to put it. That's amazing. What the hell? It's really well done, though, but holy shit. It is. That's ridiculous.

I said, God damn. What's... And there's also the Typhon, which is, again, based off the Spartan chassis, but it's got... It's got another thick. It's like... It's like the DeMarchic Canon off the Rhino, but it's way, way bigger. It's called the Dreadhammer Cannon, which is the stupidest name of all of them, to be honest. Yep.

I don't know. Some of the Bainville. I don't know. They held one up there earlier, like a hug. You're right. They did. Yeah, just put it on top. The Typhon walked around, you know.

There's been just been having too many drinks at the bar. And then finally someone attractive walks in it. It's like, whoa, basilisk time. Is the Basilics the one that fires the ICBM's intercontinental ballistic missiles or whatever? No, that's the Death Strike. Oh, so close. So close. The Basilisk is the Earth Shaker, but that's a garden thing.

Oh, okay, got you. I think we talked about the Earth Shaker at some point, do we? Yeah. Oh, there are Legion versions of them, so the Basilisk and the Medusa, which is another, like, bombardment type tank there are like Horus Heresy versions that are space marine as opposed to Imperial Guard but they

are basically the same except I think they use the rhino chassis instead of the chimera one so it's like the same tank but with a slightly different track set up and that's it's like it's cool not massively interesting so I was just like

yeah the we're actually we're near the end of the tanks we've got two Bainblade variants because space marines had their own Bainblade variants during the Horace heresy So

Again Massive guns Just massive guns Those are Oh my god Wait wait a minute What's the name of the bottom one The World Eaters one

So that's the Fellblade Is the World Eaters one And the The Sons of Horace one is the Falken Which is just a Super Heavy Tank Destroyer It's got Like two quad las cannons

Yep Yeah it's ridiculous Oh my god Definitely overcompensating for something Two accelerator cannons A demolisher cannon And two quad las cannons Oh my god

What's the top one? So the top one is the Faltian super heavy tank destroyer which has just got two it's got two volcano cannons mounted to it of course it shy says I've been playing

red alert that's the mammoth tank the mammoth tank is not a red alert shy this thing Tiberian war is you son of a bitch yes shy you big dummy everybody knows that everybody knows that

everybody I certainly knew that he knew it yep I sure did and now we're fired new hosts next week then not that currency really matters in 40k but like how much does it cost to build these fucking things

like it's gotta be these things like these things gotta be like billions of dollars to make they are like massively resource heavy and I don't think you can even as far as I know like the STLs for these things

is gone like they're lost I don't think they can make any more of them now if I remember correctly Um, yeah, I think that these are, um, these are, these are, these are Horace Heresy vehicles. So it's like 10,000 years ago. Oh, so they couldn't make more of these even if they wanted to. And I face it, you'd want to make more. You absolutely would. Oh yeah. Damn. All right, I get slammed with Mama's tank. Okay, that Red Alert 3 one is a mod. That's not a real one. That was an April Fool's joke. But the Red Alert 2 and

in one of ones. I may have been, I may have been, I may have been, I may have been wrong. Yeah, Bricky, everybody knows that. I may, I, I, I am, I am, I am a dumb, dumb, doo-do head, and I apologize. I didn't even twig what that final mammoth tank was. I didn't even see what it was, I just sort of said mammoth tank Red Alert 3 and I didn't think any more of it and it's an actual mammoth. Yeah. I, I, I don't like being, being, had like this. Embarrassing, now,

Kariot, did you say that was the last tank? Oh no, no. There's something that we need to cover. There's two more, we need to cover.

And this will hopefully make it for all of the mammoth stuff because this is the Mastodon and it's my absolute favorite. I was hoping we were getting to the

Mastodoo. Let's go. I love this fucking thing. That is a suitable name. Whoa. This thing, that's huge.

What the fuck? It is massive. Holy shit. That looks like you took, what is it, the Estreus super heavy, and you just, you just thicken that shit up. Holy God. It's a gigantic fucking transport. Whoa.

Again, COVID-and-Ga-Gunz, obviously. A troop transport. Oh, that front just opens up and everybody just comes flooding out. Yep. Oh, that's rad, actually. It is badass. I think it's... I would say it's definitely one of the more stupid models they've done just because... I mean, look at it.

It's like a giant tracked truck which for some reason looks nothing like any of the other tanks, right? There's nothing else that looks even close to this. So why they went this direction for this? I don't know. But, but it's like it is peak 40K. It's stupidly big. It has double tracks on either side. It is absolutely covered.

In literally every weapon you can think of. There's glass cannons on it. There's heavy flamers. There's a melter cannon on the front. It's got anti-air built into it. It's so dumb. I absolutely love it. I would 100% I have one.

I would totally have one. Unfortunately, it's also Forge World and entirely resin. And it's intimidating. I've seen it in parts. I've seen it up close and personal in pieces. And, yeah, I would get someone else to build it. I would not go anywhere near it. So how many troops is this big hunker hunker able to carry? Because that looks like you would be able to transport a lot.

So there's like, it's like 40. Yeah, it says 40 on the thing. Damn. I'm assuming it could hold Termis if it really wanted to. Yes, I think Terminators are Jump Hacks, Wolfen Terminator models, take the space of two models, so it could hold 20 Terminators and possibly two dreadnots. Damn! Using it to live of two dreadnoughts is that's, that is like, that's some five head. Shit, I love that. That's a great idea. I actually really, really like this model person. I just think it's really fucking cool.

It is. It really is. It is. It's peak 40K. It's super over the top. Like, it just looks so heavily armored. Like, it doesn't look like it needs void shields, but it still has them, which just is like an added layer of,

this transport is so massive that it can shield itself from incoming fire. It's so good. It doesn't look like you could take this thing down. Like, anything short of like orbital bombardment and this thing is going to be able to withstand it. It looks so beefy and cool.

I love it. I love that shit. I just realized that this model is toughness nine. It's very rare to find a toughness nine model in this game. It's like maybe five and most them are Titans. Yeah. Yeah, it's solid. It's

so good. I absolutely love it. So the last one, though, is uh it's i was debating putting this in but you've got to see it not really a thing that you can that you can get hold of it's the capital imperialis

which is oh this thing I know about this thing a fortress on tracks that's even looks like it was made out of brickwork there's actually been quite a like

not a huge amount written about them, but they've come up a fair number of times. Like, there's even stuff about... I made a note of this, because it made me laugh when I read it. In the Siege of Terror, the Thousand Suns used one

to assault the Imperial Palace. And when it nearly got destroyed, Magnus the Red throws it in time and then threw it at the wall so it could explode there. That's more of a... That's more of an impressive statement for Magnus than it is for anything else.

I mean, look at the size of it. Whoa, it's, holy shit. I didn't realize it was that, like, from the picture you showed and the first one, shy showed, I was like, oh, okay, these are, like, kind of stubby noise. It's an actual cathedral. Yeah, it's 80 meters long and 50 meters tall, and it weighs 67,000 tons. It's an apartment building on shreds. Could you give me those measurements in American, please?

Oh no. I'm stupid smooth brain. I don't, that they mean nothing to me. Oh, there we go. That's, that's a great, that's a great graphic. Oh wow. They're so massive. Oh my god. Jesus. The attempted scale of that thing is, what the fuck? If I'm unmistaken, the first red thing on the left is an imperial knight. If I'm not mistaken. Yeah, it's a nice.

Yep, yep. Oh my god. It's very big. So that tank rolling out from that one picture is like a bull-ass, big-ass tank. That's not like a mini tank, that's not like a little... Oh god, these things are... Holy shit. It's ridiculous.

It's like... You can see why they haven't made a model of it though, can you? I mean, how would you even go about it? What would you do? It is the map. It covers the map. They haven't even made an emperor-class titan yet. I think, oh, mind you, you know, maybe that should be next year's Warhammerfest, reveal.

A fully plastic capsule imperialis. Wow. I can't believe the Mastodon is the same amount of points as the Thunder Hot Gunship. We even talked about the Thunder Hot Gunship, but we'll do that in like a flyer episode, I'm sure. Oh, definitely. Why would you use something like this? I don't think there's a model for it. Yeah, there's any rules at all.

Just in 40K though, when would you roll this thing out? It's a rolling city. Where it's been mentioned, it's like mostly kind of defensive stuff, because it's massive and slow and unwieldy, and it has like six void shields because it's, because the size weight of it. But it's not great for offensive because of how slow and ridiculous it is. So, Adept is ridiculous, you could say. So it's... It's like a defensive thing. Sliped it in at the end. Not the first time I've heard... Wait a minute.

Oh yeah. We haven't even talked about the gun on it. Which is... I mean, look at the... Shite. The Beymouth cannon is so large that four Lehman-Ross battle tanks could fit within its barrel. Whoa! What? The concussive force of firing lemon can produce a mushroom cloud and shake the earth itself. That's to the point where they've gone so far that they're just like, yeah, we know it's dumb and doesn't make any sense, but we just don't care anymore. Yeah, we're going to lean into it.

Yeah. We can't reel this in to be in any way believable, so we're just going to go all the way and have a gun that causes earthquakes. Holy shit. That is, that is, that is, oof, boy, that is, that is, that is ridiculous. That is adeptist ridiculous. That's, who we, it looks stupid as hell, though, to be fair, it looks really dumb.

It really does. Like the little, the little, I believe it's an epic model that, uh, that is on there. It's like, it's like a, what's the nicest way to put this? It's like a product of its time. Before they started to get, like, really highly detailed and it started, like, really nail some of them all.

complex stuff, it looks old. It looks pretty dated at this point. Yeah, it really does. It's old school 40K. But that's, that is the, that is the last, the last tank that I've got for you today. Of all the ways to say that. That's the best way to end. That's, that's, that's the most ridiculous bullshit I've ever seen. I know, it's a gigantic apartment building on shreds. It really is. Looks like it's made out of stone Yeah

I love it I really want to buy an Astrayus Do it I think you're gonna say A Mastodon And I like it I also want to buy a Mastodon But I will have someone else

Build that for me How much is it That's the question Because if they're similar prices I mean Oh right no forget that They're not similar prices at all I'll tell you

That's the thing The thing though is that the Mastodon is like 800 points It's enormous and it's insane. But the Astrayas is 600. And like that is a lot. But with what it does, there is a,

there is a genuine possibility that this thing could actually do some real shit in a tabletop scenario. I'm going to get this thing bought, going to get this thing commissioned, and I'm going to take it to my next tournament. Bada Bing, Bada boom. The Salamanders Astrayas is coming.

It's more feasible. It may, it may, it makes a bit more sense than... Yeah, more sense. Maybe the word sense is doing a bit of like heavy lifting there. It's doing quite a lot of heavy lifting. A little bit, yeah. All right.

Well, goddamn. I want it to be known that tank and then tank with large penis gun sticking out on the front is what I took away from this episode. Oh, yeah. is a big penis gun tank, yeah. Yeah, there's definitely, there's definitely, like, there's definitely a trend when it comes to a lot of this stuff. It's just, what could we do differently?

Massive guns sticking out of the front? But sure, we'll just apply that to literally everything we've ever made. I somehow imagine, like, the meeting for this. It's like, guys, we need to come with something new for the tank. What should we do? And it's like that meme where the one guy's like, maybe we don't put a giant penis gun on the front and they throw them out the window.

Yeah. And then some other guys like, let's do a giant penis gun. Hooray. Well, I'm glad that we all have our penis guns ready and willing. I'm going to get to buying us a goddamn Astrayous super heavy tank now. I'm going to...

I'm considering it. If that's all that comes out of of this episode, then I'll be happy. Baving me, sort of. So long as it stays proper, because I have a feeling at the moment this, right now with the new armor of contempt and shenanigans adjustments, it might actually end up being somewhat usable,

so we'll find out, but we will see. Anything else, Keryov? Anything else you want to show or mention before, before we wrap it up? That is pretty much, that is pretty much every tank, the space marines have. There are a few other things that are like different versions of rhinos

but it's like different marks of rhinos so it's, that's pretty much the best and like the best and brightest and dumbest that they have to offer. I realize the Land Raider featured quite heavily but for some reason Games Workshop just went mental with the Land Raider

for a while there and I don't know why they did but I'm glad they did because I feel like that informed quite a lot of the uh, especially the Horace heist's stuff with the whole just you know, stick a dick on it and then send it out. I feel like that's kind of where that was born.

Oh my god, the Astrayas can fly. Doesn't it have the anti-grab? It's got anti-graved. Yeah. Oh my god. Bricky's already bought one. It's confirmed. I'm going to go straight to Twitter after this to see images of the receipt.

Holy. shit. Holy shit. I'm just saying I'm just saying I'm just saying I'm just saying yeah

are you actually going to say something other than you're just saying I'm waiting for it I'm just saying I have clicked I'm purchased I have clicked the purchase button and this episode needs to end before there are any there's any

genuine genuine like evidence for it Curiaf, where can they find you, my friend? Shut yourself out. So I am on YouTube at Kiryoth TV and I just talk about 40K and do lots of hobby stuff, especially making monstrosities. There is a video that went out of not that long ago

that I think probably does a decent job explaining why I get hung up on doing vast amounts of tanks or dreadnoughts or knights. I think it's a good like primer for just the absolute insanity that happens when I start taking plastic out of boxes. So yeah, that's the main place where I show up and

I reckon probably with Warhammerfest coming up it's going to be a load of stuff to look at and it's going to be really fun and I'm kind of hoping that we can do something with that after the fact at some point. That would be cool. That'd be a lot of fun.

Just hoping. DK, I don't really care where they can find you. You can find me right here. Wow. They can find me here. This is the only place where I do stuff that matters. My YouTube, dead. Twitch, it might as well be dead, but I still hang out there.

Doesn't matter. You can find me here. That's it. Wait, look at the capital imperialis that Shai has. It's so cute. Oh, it's so cute. I took a sip of drink when you put it up there and now I'm dying. What the hell is that? I still love COVID. Alright.

Let's get a fuck out of here. Thank you.
