Isis47470 I would have to say Tau are the next ones to run tank heavy. if you dont include a Tau devil fish as a tank then I supose the mareins. Asside from IG tanks nexbiggest tank out there is a Landraider. ( which is not so fabulos ) One would think marines should use them, but there armor is really only good for movement support rather then fire power for the marines. Crusader variant is arguably the best tank in the game if you use it like a WWII tank instead of a modern tank. IE, you jam it into their firing line and let take the fire, which lets your infantry get in close and rip their infantry up. The Lem.R is based around the modern tank ideal, one big gun to rip up 90% of its targets and maybe one or two extra toys for the rest. Differant tactics for differant styles of tank. Standard landraider is pretty useless except to kill other tanks.

Standard landraider is pretty useless except to kill other tanks. I forgot about the Crusader varient, then there is the prometheus and Helios not so great but different. @ sekchi- I never found the LR to be usefull eventhough I love it. As a transport perhaps but not as a standalone tank for 250 and you can't even fire all of its guns at once... xp

The land raider crusader is in my mind anyways one of the worst tanks in the game. Those bolters really don't do crap, at all. And with 14 armour it is pretty easy to destroy with any melta bomb or strength 10 weapons.
