Malcadors aren't for the Krieg.

Malcadors are for any Imperial army (Just like a Leman Russ Thunderer, let's say).

In the background for the next Imperial Armour books, Malcadors are going to be used by the Chaos traitors.

Small engine for such a big tank and I'm not sure how all the breaches and gunners for those heavy bolters are supposed to fit in the cuopla.

Not a fan.

Well, the Chaos markings look good....
Can't decide - too many guns in the turret, although they could be fired by one person, one at a time. Then again, in haos' case, demonic thingies solve all space related issues. I'd probably even have the engine infested. Add a drop of demon to your fuel and a 10cc engine can drive your Imperator at 90 km/h...  :p  :p

In the detail they clarify that there are 8 crew with 3 gunners for the 5 turret mounted Heavy Bolters including the commander.

I quite like the idea of this being a traitor SHT. Or used by reserve IG regiments on some backwater.

I think the small size of the engine is also represented by painfully slow speed- it describes it as "lumbering" in the PDF for experimentla 40k rules.

Cheers

'lumbering' vehicles normally have 15cm speed in Epic.
