Making a better Malcador

[Cpt_Reaper]

So I've been trying to make the Malcador tanks a little bit better in the 41st Millennium. Here are the 3 variants I have cooked up, being the Malcador Assault Tank, Malcador Tank Commander and Malcador Siege Tank (that last name is a placeholder).

TANK ORDERS

ORDER

Full Throttle!

Instead of shooting this phase the ordered model immediately moves as if it were the Movement phase. It must Advance as part of this move, and cannot declare a charge this turn.

Gunners, Kill on Sight!

Re-roll hits rolls of 1 for the ordered model until the end of the phase.

Strike and Shroud!

This order can only be issued to a model that has not yet used its smoke launchers during the battle. The ordered model can shoot its weapons and use its smoke launchers during this phase.
