There are some IG forces that are more likely to artillery-strike their own men, mostly Valhallan or Krieg, but luckily, everybody knows that artillery wont hit the faithful, those were low in faith so there is no problem. There are also situations where a commander calls firo on his current position, but those are normally from 2 categories: A) about to be overrun by Daemons, Drukhari or Tyranids and you want to take them with you, or B) there is still one route of escape and you have fast wheels.

Laugh at the Malcador Infernus if you will, but it is based off a really effective design from WW2. The Crocodile was a Churchill variant with the front machine gun swapped out for a flamethrower; the separate fuel cart gave them a lot of ammunition without adding much fiery death risk, and if it was damaged or empty the tank crew just detached and carried on with their fully functional main turret and second machine gun. They were devastating against bunkers and trenches, much of the time Germans just surrendered when Crocodiles approached.

"Developed" by Tech preists during Demonic incursions after the Fall of Cadia, Russ's Devil was constructed under the persuasion of Catachan officers give soilders heavier firepower against the Deamonic Hordes. The variant was constructed to navigate the harsh jungle terrain of catachan, which it accomplishes with suprising ease. Its main armaments are a Heavy Flamer, mounted to the underside of the vehicle. A Salvaged Avenger Bolt Cannon, which is mounted to the main turret. Atop which a Heavy Bolter is mounted on a swivel turrent. Massive sawblades are mounted on the front to allow it to cut the brush of the world make surprisingly effective melee weapons. The Vehicle is surprisingly Popular with guardsmen. However members of the Inquisition are concerned about the components in tank being of Deamonic Origin. "That Thing is a pain to work with. The Bolt Cannon's barrels consistently get to the point of melting. The sawblades have to be replaced practically daily. I have to say 3 different Rites of Activation to get Thing to start." - An Exasperated Engiseer on the Topic of Russ's Devil.

Various Tank Thoughts: I believe the old Colossus was based on a Leman Russ chassis. The shells for its cannon are so huge that it doesn't carry its own ammo. Every Colossus has to be followed by a Trojan which carries the shells and lifts them into the gun with a crane. The newer variant of the M1 Abrams, the M1A2C, weighs around 79 tons. So the Leman Russ is doing just fine in terms of mass. Turretless tank destroyers & assault guns like the Destroyer and Thunderer were common in both the German and Soviet armies of WWII.

Also the standard M1A2 comes in just slightly above 70 tons. Additionally Abrams tanks have a top speed of just slightly below 70 kph but that is only because it is governed, if it was allowed to go all out it would rip its suspension and tracks apart. Yah putting a jet engine in a tank!

In defence of the deathstrike missile being on a mobile platform, the Imperial Guard is a very mobile force relatively speaking. I mean the Guard aren’t tied to one planet (besides the planet they recruit from, which they only take the absolute best of said planets planetary defence force but that’s a discussion for another time) but they’re constantly on the move from one warzone to the next via troopships. Seems to make a lot more sense giving deathstrike missiles a dedicated, mobile platform to facilitate easier and faster deployment to whatever fire base they’re assigned to until they’re needed. Besides the fact that you should take 40k art with a grain of salt (I like to think of much of it as in universe propaganda) there’s no real reason a deathstrike missile should be anywhere near the front lines unless those lines have moved close to an IG deployment zone.

I mean, Soviets/Russians (also the Chinese and the North Koreans as well I think) have ICBMs on mobile platforms that they use in parades and stuff.

Whippet tank had the same sort of turret formation as the Malcador with heavy bolters.

So, what I learned from this is that the Baneblade (and its many variants) is basically a titan in condensed format.

A Chimera is more of a IFV tbh, APCs just drive and drop off while having a small amount of armor to make sure the infantry don't die to shrapnel, while IFVs stay in the fight and support the infantry.

Oh allmighty Leman Russ of the lake grant me your wisdom.

If I remember correctly lore wise the macharuis super heavy battle tank really came into its own during the seige of vraks. Its was kinda used in a similar capacity to a baneblade but given the nature of vraks and the krieg the Macharius was kinda seen as an expendable baneblade. Much quicker to make, slightly less powerful but filled the role. No were near as sacred and revered so it wouldnt be held off in reserve when needed like a baneblade would for fear of loosing the holy baneblade. So because of this its seen mostly in the hands of kreig, lower teir forge worlds outfitting lesser worlds in seiges and other scratch company or last chancer groups.

26:06 In Ghostmaker, Gaunt and his Ghosts were fired upon on Voltemand after they'd taken a city. Basilisks from the Ketzok Serpents, specifically an artillery regiment, fired upon the position they were resting at, having been given the command to fire upon the region due to retreating heretics (this wasn't true though), two to three hundred were dead, three or two hundred wounded. When Gaunt got to the Basilisks, he punched the colonel in charge of them in the face, and they'd only just started getting friendly too. Gaunt eventually reached the headquarters of General Sturm, and got pissed off at him, and the commander of the Basilisks had his own vehicle drive through the gate of the building Sturm was using as his headquarters do that he could help with a little scheme to ensure Gaunt didn't get a court martial for attacking a fellow officer. Also, think you could cover the Tanith First-and-Only?

Honestly the ShadowSword is basically the Imperium’s equivalent of the Ferdinand,SU-152, ISU-152 but upscaled

The Infernus Malcador tank is probably based on the Churchill Crocodile, a WW2 flamethrower tank used on bunkers mainly for intimidation to get Germans to surrender. And yes, the Crocodiles had the fuel trailer in the back like the Infernus.

The Minotaur can be taken by Space Marine Legions in the Horus Heresy, The Outer Circle did a full blown conversion of one to make it fit the Space Marine design scheme and it's gorgeous.

So excited to see Kirioth back again :) Shame you didn’t shill his merch for him though

Mmmm, THIS is the lore I truly relish in. The hardware, the rolling fortresses, the awe inspiring firepower, the sheer overwhelming dakka that is isn't the Orks! At least that's what the Guard brings to the table for vehicles and weapons platforms. I love the Tau, Necron, and Eldar arsenals and motor pools for different reasons, though awe inspiring firepower is a common theme.

Modern self propelled artillery also have anti infantry weapons either mounted on the hull like the basilisk or turret mounted. The Basilisk is basically a WW2 self propelled artillery, check out Panzerhaubitze Hummel or the M7 Priest.

God, I love the cyclops. My favorite moment with it is when through sheer ignorance on an Eldar player I got it close to the front of his army and blew up his wraith guard, dire avengers, half of his striking scorpions and his autarch in one fell swoop thanks to fantastic rolls on my part and catastrophic ones on his. He just looked at me in shock before uttering the softest "Good game" and shaking my hand. Real nice dude.

Everyone always has a great moment or line in this series but I'd like to thank shy for all of the memes. I have not seen many of them and they're just great.

haven´t even seen anything more than the background pic yet, but knowing you guys in know im gonna love it so here is my like and comment hope it helps you grow even more love your content(despite being a 20+Y WH40K fan)

I understand why the baneblades need a techpriest to make sure it runs: it's probably got a hot drinks machine with working bar inside, so when the troops inside have something to do while the tank does all the work

If you want spider tanks look up Mortian miniatures, they got three different sizes of spider tanks including a freaking baneblade one. Though the owner is a bit of an oddball so he can be a bit difficult to work with sometimes. But regardless of that I love the spider tanks he's got and I can't wait to build my super-heavy warcrawler at some point when I get time to.

Love seeing Kirioth again! Though it is less weeb when he's around. So, that's why I recommend watching 'Girls und Panzer'. That's where I got my tank knowledge.

It's likely got more to do with the tracks than the crew, atleast for road speeds. From what I have read that was the biggest issue that needed to be overcome for ripsaw to reach 60mph (speaking of it reaches 60mph and has a 1500hp engine but weighs only 10 tons, I am not sure an abrams weighing 60-70 tons would actually be able to reach 60mph...)

Kiri I said yesterday you need to do more podcasts! This is your calling

"there where a bunch of WW2 flamethrower tanks that toed the full out the back and it went about as well as you'd think" The fuel being outside the tank on a trailer is best. Yeh infantry didn't want to be near a tank of napalm but 1) fuel tanks don't explode when shot, at all, that's just a movie/game trope 2) the trailer is behind the tank so it's difficult to get an angle on it 3) even if it did get punctured and spilt napalm all over the place it's not going to do anything to the tank, it's a tank. Check out lindybeiges video on the "The most effective weapon of World War Two"

39:39 There were a BUNCH of German "Jagdpanzers" like that. StugIII, StugIV, Jagdpanzer IV, Hetzer etc. It's pretty much something they did with every tank hull they built during ww2 at some point. Take the turret off, fit a bigger gun into the hull and use it as a tank destroyer.

The Basilisk is literally just a howitzer on wheels. What's not to love? Whole new meaning to the sentence "the sky is falling".

The fact that the fuel caboose was something they latched onto as ridiculous, but was a real thing used by flamethrower tanks is hilarious

Note about flamethrower tanks: External fuel trailers let you carry a lot more gas AND if your fuel supply *does* explode it explodes *outside* of the tank.

As a Destiny player I appreciate the cameo of the Fallen Spider tank in the images.

Because of the talk about how nice it’d be for infantry to deploy from a Superheavy tank bristling with guns and the talk at the end about transporting cyclops vehicles. I’m imagining 40 guardsmen lividly seething because they have to hoof it through enemy fire. All so General Bricky could fill their Stormlord with 6ish Cyclops Demo Vehicles.

guard codex mentions the tatic of sending guardsmen to bog down the enemy as they fire deathskrikes missles to obliterate friend and foe
