Joeyray Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Just an odd thought gents, if the Germans took an 8.8 AA Gun and made one heck of an anti-tank gun whats to stop the possibility of say an Earthshaker converted into a big nasty AT gun, especially for those regiments with little access to the more advanced Imperial AT arsenal?

Komrk Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 The Earthshaker is quite a bit larger than an 88. I think if they got something like an 88 in the next codex it would be awesome, especially if like the 88 it could be used to shoot at tanks AND planes. I don't play IG but I would love to see that being a big WWII and military history fan. I'd probably let my friend use something like that if we agreed upon the stats.

Joeyray Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 Would be a handy addition for most forces, a large carnivorious barrel to make my opponents stare down!

Reichfaust Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 The first thing that springs to mind for me when talking about an Earthshaker repurposed as an AT gun is that the Vanquisher cannon on the LR Vanquisher already fits the bill. I mean, it's got the huge range; very potent AT ability thanks to AP2 and 2D6 penetration... Sounds appropriate to me.

Tech-Hersey you xenos kissing monster! Clearly you've fallen from the divine light of the benevolent God-Emperor of Mankind and, since you've gotten the planets infrastructure to agree to develop and produce these warp spawned monstrosities, your planet needs excommunicatused and exterminatused. Seriously, in universe, that is the reason. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285358-imperial-at-gun/#findComment-3563278 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Doesn't everyone already drop Basilisk rounds on enemy armour? Direct firing them isn't quite as good but still works. There aren't many problems you can't solve by dropping Earthshaker rounds on come to think of it.

hendrik Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 you mean like, an autocannon?(which, is already a light anti tank gun,and very usefull to shoot flyers... besides i think you can't complain about our anti flyer options: -sabre platforms: quadruple heavy stubbers, twin linked autocannons or lascannons -hydra tanks -AA manticores -hydra platforms -AA manticore platforms that's a lot more than any other army has! and then i'm not even starting about the flyers! edit: gosh i feel stupid! misread AT for AA! anyway here's a list of all our solid dedicated AT units! -vanquisher -tank destroyer -leman russ annihilator -valdor tank hunter -medusa siege variant -macharius vanquisher -malcador annihilator -shadowsword -lascannon/multimelta armed sentinels -lascannonteams and now these are only the dedicated AT units designed specifically for that purpose. anythyng that's S7 or beyond could be used in a similar way as the 88!
