Hadron Ka'sel Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Ok, so i apologise for the random thread name. The long and short of it is this, after having a look through some of their F.A.Q's and Errata on Forgeworld i came upon the rules for the Spartan Assaul tank. Now i had heard of it previously, but i will be honest i never paid it a huge amount of attention. Now that i have however i am slightly in awe of this Tank/Bus hybrid, especially as it can also be used by Blood Angels. So first question is, has anyone used this in any games and if so how does it perform? Was this in conjunction with DC at all? And am i the only one that gets a tiny bit over excited by the idea of a tank raming the enemy line and then disgourging 25, frothing at the mouth, completly psychotic and delusional Marines? Have i missed something in regards to its rules that mean it isnt as good a prospect as it seems?

Jolemai Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 The only concern is if people are iffy facing Forgeworld stuff. Just looked up the Legion Spartan Assault Tank. For 45 points more than a Land Raider Phobos you get five Hit Points, Extra Armour, Quad-lascannon sponsons and the aforementioned increased transport capacity. It's also a Heavy Support choice and comes with a decent set of upgrades. I that probably differs a bit from the Imperial Armour version, but the thought does make you drool a little, huh? Personally, if I were to get one I'd field it full in Apocalypse.

skawolf Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I just took a look at this tank. Never seen it before this...... Man it would be fun to fill that thing with DC, scare the :cuss out of most armies.

Coopervisor Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I'm not sure if it gets ceramite armor and flare shield in the 40k version of the rules. With those two upgrades, it's very hard to bring down.
