Maybe we should add this tank to Epic? I mean it's on the GW site and that, so it's got to be balanced and reasonable right ;)

Those smoke launchers definitely turn the cheese quotient on this one to 11.
GW's gone too far, I'd walk away from the table if anyone put that on the table.
Smoke launchers for God's sake!!!!

It could fire 14 shots per turn in epic, plus an unlimited range one-shot TK(D6) which the enemy has little chance to take out before it fires as well as the ability to carry 8 stands into battle. What a nice tank they've made! Mind you, you’d think that having the ICBM rockets venting flame down into the troop compartment might be a teeny bit of a design flaw, but they probably claim it's used to carry Space Marine Terminators into battle or something.

In seriousness I would refuse to play against that frankenstein monstrosity and it's powergaming creator.

Reminds me of one of the spoofs on Rambo, where the gun crazed marine picks up a grenade launcher, carbine, Hevy machine gun, Stinger missile launcher, associated spare ammunition - - - and slowly topples over under the weight

Which reminds me of the MAUS, a German AFV prototype that was unable to cross bridges.

It was a less-than-successful design for maneuver warfare.

How about we don't, and just say we did?

Good! I'd be worried if you did. Whoever converted that tank had a bad case of kitchen sink syndrome and little appreciation for aesthetics or feasibility.

C'mon, if you were 14 that thing would be the coolest tank ever.

That ... thing... would make more sense without treads, perhaps as a coastal defense/planetary defense installation.
