Grot Tanks

[Zap Rowsdower]

I was just cruising around the Forge World site for the first time in a while when I saw these: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-4 ... TANKS.html

Does anyone have any info on them with regard to points, stats, etc.? There is a bit of info on the sight about them for Apocalypse games, but nothing useful for smaller games.

This is purely a guess but I'm going to assume the rules for them are in 'IMPERIAL ARMOUR EIGHT: RAID ON KASTOREL-NOVEM' (http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/I ... NOVEM.html). Best way to findout is send them an email and ask.

They're found in the IA:8 book. Basic stats are 30 points a pop, BS3, AV10 all 'round.

(Full rules aren't usually allowed to be posted... but check your PMs )

They're small enough that you can also use them as Killa Kans if you want. Just throw on a couple of grappling arms for cc weapons.

Thanks guys, just wanted to get an idea of what the tanks were all about before potentially ordering them. But $90-ish for the book, then the models on top... Too rich for my blood. I like the Killa Kan idea, so we'll see what the future brings.

I don't see how these things are worth purchasing, really. I mean, yes, grot tanks, the idea is awesome, but why not just have kans? The zzap gun is the only thing I see on it that the kans don't get.

Not to go into too much detail for the rules (I'll bring my copy of IA:8 to GW on Saturday, if that helps), they're cheaper than Kans, you can get more of them (in theory, thought it'd cost a hell of a lot of teef if you don't kitbash/make more of them) in a unit, they can potentially move 12/13" and still shoot any weapon, can be given red paint, can have an extra heavy weapon in the unit... and they all have a 5+ invuln save.

Also, tank shocking with grot tanks is a lot more hilarious than charging into battle.

(Oh, and it's a Kustom Mega Blasta, not a Zzzap gun... So shorter range, but consistency.)

First they are Grots. This is awesome in and of itself.

Second, they are tanks.


They are in fact Grot Tanks...

'Nuff Said.

I have been discreetly shown the light.

I retract my previous statement.

You could use em as buggies also. They are very awesome that they should be in regular 40k more often.
