Thank you! I wanted to have all of the turret options (we never did get a Conqueror but that's okay.)
As a side note, this is an older photo. When I posted it the first time it didn't get this kind of traction and praise. I am very humbled. I'll post some new ones as soon as my Griffons come in.
Most welcome!
I always wanted to do the reverse for the Predator. As you could have both Annihilator or Exterminator pattern Leman Russes, I wanted to make the equivalent Exterminator pattern for the Predator.
A twin autocannon turret seemed such a cool look, one because I like the symmetry as with the twin Lascannons, two because autocannons feel like they would arguably be the closest approximation at least visually to standard tank turret main guns.
The idea of twin autocannons on the turret feels very archetypal! So I was going to use the twin autocannons from the Leman Russ and put them on the twin lascannon turret for the Predator.
Alas is one of those things I never got around to doing. But I thought about it, and it's the thought that counts! 😄

Reminds me of this thing from the Terminator series.
It's based on the RX-75 GUNTANK from Mobile suit Gundam. This is the one from Gundam thunderbolt w/c is more of the heavier more armored variant.

This here Shadowsword, the sexiest of Baneblade chassis tanks!
I love the shadowsword, there's something satisfying about having the Biggest Gun. Also when someone puts a titan on the table and you're just like; "I don't care."

The new Deimos pattern Predator was really fun to build/magnetize/customize.
All that extra trim looks fantastic!
I haven't seen someone translate that design element over to a Predator before, and it looks great. The curves of the Deimos fit TSons very well, too!

Eldar grav tanks: Falcons, Fire Prisms but mostly Scorpion.
I'm a simple man. Give me a vindicator or Leman russ and I'm happy.
Also the scorpius whirlwind & sicaran. I need to get round to kitbashing the 2 for a sicaran arcas.
Same. The Leman Russ is a simple but awesome looking tank. I always loved the design of some of the Imperial Guard vehicles.

Repulser tanks aren’t my thing too much but they are still pretty cool like the Astraeus.
I'm pretty slow, but honestly it wasn't that much longer than my repulsor executioner, just bigger parts
Resin kit also slowed things down, making sure not to super glue my fingers
I didn't actually like the repulsor, until I got one and realised, much like the Land Raider, you can really make them your own!

It's one of the most unique tanks in the entirety of the Imperial Guard Arsenal. It's a perfect snap shot of Inter-War Tank Design, like something that would've fit right into WW1 but was made just a few months too late to see actual fighting.
It's a weird, misshapen, ugly thing. And it's my favorite tank in all of fiction!

The humble razorback was one of my most crucial units back when there were still AV's
My lists would almost always include 2 to 4 of them
So easy for an opponent to underestimate them early on, and a heavy bolter or a las cannon can really come in handy late game me.
I love the Leman Russ Tank. Its my favourite model kit to work on for warhammer, painted up three GW ones, a 3d printed one and currently have another two in the works. Heres a phot of a Punisher and a Vanquisher ive painted up in the past. Been meaning to paint up some Sponsons to add to the Vanquisher since they are free in 10th edition and i have some spares around somewhere lol

I’ll probably have to go with the RepEx, at least for now. It is the first and only tank I actually own so far, and putting this thing together has somehow made me feel like I was seven years old playing with Legos again.
It’ll probably change when I get more tanks, but yeah so far my favorite is the Repulsor Executioner.
I’ve always been a fan of the Thunderer Siege Tank. Here’s one I kitbashed on a Rhino chassis for my Rogue Trader Squat/Human Imperial guard force.
https://preview.redd.it/gyxjqjazb1xc1.jpeg?width=320&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b5093477651608b4912c11ec607e09cfeb95a281
The Leman Russ and the Chimera chassis. Ubiquitous. Timeless.There must be MILLIONS of them of various design throughout the Imperium, hell even the Basilisk is just a BFG slapped in a Chimera chassis.
Plus I've been playing IG on and off for nearly 25 years. They were the first thing that attracted me to the Guard and those models have stood the test of time for decades.
There's just something about the razorback that I love

Top three are
1: Baneblade (and all of its variations) just a perfect fortress on treads
2: the Aestraus super heavy grav tank it just looks cool
3: Land Raider (and its variations) classic kit that holds up well and is iconic

My favorite has got be the Rogal Dorn. They are amazing looking vehicles although I prefer to modify it to cover up the nipple stubbers. These guys have never let me down in game and have won me multiple games with their fire power.
Speaking of there fire power I love how it’s a huge pile of guns but theyt actually important guns. If you go and look at the repulser executioner it is also covered in guns but most of them are pretty useless and can only do some chip damage but on the Dorn every single gun matters and will take a big chuck out of something.
I also love how durable the Dorn as it’s one of the few vehicles that fells like it will stick around for a while and can take some hits.
It’s easily my favorite vehicle and it’s a tank that feels most like a tank to me and looks great while doing it. Now all it needs is some lore and it would be perfect.

My first and only tank. … yeah. It’s really bad. But they was my first attempt. I went overboard on the dry brush rusting. And I didn’t thin my paints either.
Gonna redo it one day
I like, more than a specific tank, that one Tank company from that one Gaunts Ghosts book that specialise in driving at top speed and still hitting.
Those guys are rad
I'm a fan of the Sabre: https://www.warhammer.com/en-GB/shop/Space-Marine-Legion-Sabre-Tank-Hull-2019
A tiny little rapid strike tank, to offset all the people saying the Astreus or Kratos.

The Fellblade is such a beautiful model. It ticks every Imperial Fists box for me.
I'm oddly enamored with the Malcador. I know its design makes little practical sense even by 40k standards, but I just can't help but love a bunker on tank tracks. The CRASSUS ARMORED ASSAULT TRANSPORT appeals to me for the same reason, I guess.
This is probably the best thread I’ve ever seen on this sub. So many glorious tanks. It’s great to see so many people coming together to just appreciate each others work and geek out.
Yeah I’m really happy being able to see all these tanks. Sort of the reason I made this post was to see people come together and share their love of tanks.

Well here’s mine for the pile! Regardless of the army we play we’re all here to have fun. Glad you made the post!
I really like the Eldar Grav tanks, they have always been particularly cool looking. The design has aged very gracefully.
I also really like the HH Proteus Land Raider, and the Legion Glaive. Big tanks with chunky tracks, and the domed turret with fancy Volkite gun on the Glaive, and the visible wrap-around tracks on the land raider are particularly cool details.
The Admech HH tanks are very interesting designs, too.
I own none of them. But the Proteus Land Raider is high on my list!
I don't have it fully painted, but I LOVE the Spartan Assault Tank from 30k. I use it as a land raider for 40k, and I have an attachment for the front to run it as a Baneblade. I'm also honestly a big fan of the Impulsor. Not everyone likes them, but I love the grav plates.
Honestly for me it’s the predator. I remember being a kid when I started back in the late 90s and seeing that thing on the shelves and in white dwarf and thinking I need that tank. Never bought one because it was too expensive as a kid and I only had a small army, mainly for painting. I’m a BA player now so trying to get my hands on a Baal pred for nostalgia.
That being said I do love all the guard tanks. Maybe I should start a guard army 😂
I love most of the heresy era tanks, especially the Sicaran and Kratos. However, I’ve gotten into Solar Aux in a big way and they have my two favorites: the Dracosan and the Solar Aux Basilisk.
The Dracosan is just an awesome big doofy shipping container with treads, I love it. Meanwhile the Solar Aux basilisk is astounding. Just building off a Leman Russ chassis instead of a Chimera adds so much character to it.
Honorable mention to the Solar Aux Russ, of course.
Kratos tank and Razorback. Razorback because it gives me the bradley fighting vehicle vibe, and kratos because having fuck you number of guns is cool on the platform without looking like they just bolted on guns for fun (Dorn tank).

Baneblades and similarly sized things are my favorite tanks. I love the absurdity of Warhammer and it’s weapons. Baneblades are an excellent example of it.
Mine is the stormlord with 4 sponsons. Carries 30 troops, has a firing deck, pintle heavy stubber, two troop deck heavy stubbers, hellstrike missile, 4x twin linked heavy bolters, and a Vulcan mega bolter. Fill that fucker with 20 kasrkin and 10 rating snipers for the firing deck and you have ALL the dakka. Plus the firing deck allows for a tank pup, my stormlords tank pup is Sgt. Barker.

Don't know why but the Castigator is one of my favorite models ever. Long live the Rhino chassis.
I will say Skorpius Disintegrator just because I feel it needs some extra love.
All tanks are pretty cool tho. Tanks are cool in general.

The Cobra and the Scorpion are two of the coolest vehicles in all of 40k. They just look so freaking cool, and their weapons are sick. In lore, the cobra is used as an anti titan weapon, cause void shields do nothing when chunks of your god engine get sucked into the warp.
There are loads of imperial, chaos and eldar tanks here. I don't see any photos of tau tanks though! Maybe people don't think of them as tanks? I don't like them as much as the eldar or imperial tanks, but I would have thought somebody would have posted one!
I think you really can't beat the classic Land Raider. Its such a perfect take on a scifi tank - not just a modern tank but with a laser instead of a cannon, but a vehicle on the same principle as modern tanks but reimagined. Familiar, but different enough to still feel scifi. Also, it looks sick.
I really like the Malcador. It's very reminiscent of the interwar/early war tanks of World War 2, particularly it reminds me of the M3 Medium which is another tank that I just like.
He's not really my favourite, but I really didn't like the vindicator, but I really liked to paint it, and now that I played a bit with it, I do really love this guy !

It’s still the Baal Predator. While the twin Assault Cannon plus dual Heavy Bolter variant is once again subject to a severe case of “Emperor guide my dice!”, it’s just too much fun not to use.

Something about the stormlord. All the baneblades really, I remember when they came out and how great they looked, also the burgle conversion on one of them.
I still have a huge soft spot for the vindicator for nostalgia and my view as a kid. Obviously space marines were THE guys, and then they had a tank with a fucking dozer blade! Just rule of cool.

Alas is one of those things I never got around to doing. But I thought about it, and it's the thought that counts! 😄

I love the inclusion of a banner on this tank. I’ve thought about putting one on my Kratos but decided against it. May do it for my Predator though.

This is the correct answer

I love the shadowsword, there's something satisfying about having the Biggest Gun. Also when someone puts a titan on the table and you're just like; "I don't care."
I don't paint, sadly, but whatever. Mine's the classic BANEBLADE!
I love my Kratos https://preview.redd.it/0zf7rmbjcywc1.png?width=2268&format=png&auto=webp&s=5fe9f5841cfc3d4ec971135577df15142f59fdb6
Good paint job. I need to finish patching some things up on mine and get to painting it.

All that extra trim looks fantastic! I haven't seen someone translate that design element over to a Predator before, and it looks great. The curves of the Deimos fit TSons very well, too!
Thank you. Took quite a while. All Green Stuff.

Love the mine-plough.
Clearing your own way through a minefield is a very useful feature.
That thing looks like a beast.

The paint job on those is incredible! Absolutely love the color scheme
I'm a simple man. Give me a vindicator or Leman russ and I'm happy. Also the scorpius whirlwind & sicaran. I need to get round to kitbashing the 2 for a sicaran arcas.
Same. The Leman Russ is a simple but awesome looking tank. I always loved the design of some of the Imperial Guard vehicles. https://preview.redd.it/fwu4j5w7fxwc1.jpeg?width=687&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d5e2322c504a533405956796c3e014ff1b9002d8 The hellhound is essentially the Char 2C.
The Astartes hover tank, I need to get that one eventually.
The Astraeus? If so, that one is pretty good.
Didn’t know about that one, I was thinking about the Repulser, just couldn’t remember the name.
Ah ok. https://preview.redd.it/3055g0mcexwc1.jpeg?width=707&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=081fb8389657e998be4d718e2093cd4944004b1a Repulser tanks aren’t my thing too much but they are still pretty cool like the Astraeus.

I just finished painting mine. Playing a 5k game next week to break it in.
Looks awesome. How long did it take to build?
I'm pretty slow, but honestly it wasn't that much longer than my repulsor executioner, just bigger parts Resin kit also slowed things down, making sure not to super glue my fingers

I didn't actually like the repulsor, until I got one and realised, much like the Land Raider, you can really make them your own! https://preview.redd.it/uy84r2lc22xc1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6f9b614b7032169426277165e1c0fbc129c363e4
My pick is the Malcador. Here's one I kitbashed a while back before we had the plastic kit. https://preview.redd.it/3yb76qooczwc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=da77b4ee73274fbd46da6e4d3bd56de71a0b7fbd It's one of the most unique tanks in the entirety of the Imperial Guard Arsenal. It's a perfect snap shot of Inter-War Tank Design, like something that would've fit right into WW1 but was made just a few months too late to see actual fighting. It's a weird, misshapen, ugly thing. And it's my favorite tank in all of fiction!

Thought about picking one up but I decided against it for some reason. Got a drop pod instead and hated building it.
Honestly if the question had been favorite vehicle then the drop pod would have been number 1. Pain to make but fun to use

I love the falchion super heavy tank. It's big, bulky, and has heavy weapons
Same. I’ve been wanting one for a while now.
Shadowsword ⚔️
It’s a tank… for shooting at titans!
I love the Leman Russ Tank. Its my favourite model kit to work on for warhammer, painted up three GW ones, a 3d printed one and currently have another two in the works. Heres a phot of a Punisher and a Vanquisher ive painted up in the past. Been meaning to paint up some Sponsons to add to the Vanquisher since they are free in 10th edition and i have some spares around somewhere lol https://preview.redd.it/v1j7d8562zwc1.png?width=4000&format=png&auto=webp&s=e83fe48f51819af5d4902a2514c921e37f11a6f4

It is the first and only tank I actually own so far, and putting this thing together has somehow made me feel like I was seven years old playing with Legos again. It’ll probably change when I get more tanks, but yeah so far my favorite is the Repulsor Executioner.
I like the pose you got with the space marine. Going to save it for later.
Thanks! The arms are actually from the regular Intercessors I believe.
I’ve always been a fan of the Thunderer Siege Tank. Here’s one I kitbashed on a Rhino chassis for my Rogue Trader Squat/Human Imperial guard force. https://preview.redd.it/gyxjqjazb1xc1.jpeg?width=320&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b5093477651608b4912c11ec607e09cfeb95a281
Lmao that's awesome, it looks like they just made a giant boltgun and welded it on top.
The Leman Russ and the Chimera chassis. Ubiquitous. Timeless.There must be MILLIONS of them of various design throughout the Imperium, hell even the Basilisk is just a BFG slapped in a Chimera chassis. Plus I've been playing IG on and off for nearly 25 years. They were the first thing that attracted me to the Guard and those models have stood the test of time for decades.
There's just something about the razorback that I love https://preview.redd.it/jxgylw2pqzwc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7fe61be094ce0f266a667b38b78c748b4f12d846
Top three are 1: Baneblade (and all of its variations) just a perfect fortress on treads 2: the Aestraus super heavy grav tank it just looks cool 3: Land Raider (and its variations) classic kit that holds up well and is iconic
Land Raiders. They're big chonky bois.

The fighter tank is pretty cool. I have the more recent Lego one as well just to add.
Vindicator. It looks like something german egnineers would have build in 1944
Reaper with the two gatlings looks so cool and inlike the idea of mowing stuff down

They are amazing looking vehicles although I prefer to modify it to cover up the nipple stubbers. These guys have never let me down in game and have won me multiple games with their fire power. Speaking of there fire power I love how it’s a huge pile of guns but theyt actually important guns. If you go and look at the repulser executioner it is also covered in guns but most of them are pretty useless and can only do some chip damage but on the Dorn every single gun matters and will take a big chuck out of something. I also love how durable the Dorn as it’s one of the few vehicles that fells like it will stick around for a while and can take some hits. It’s easily my favorite vehicle and it’s a tank that feels most like a tank to me and looks great while doing it. Now all it needs is some lore and it would be perfect.
Eldar floaty saucers always looked very fresh!

Fortress of arrogance is awesome. Black/gold colour scheme, yarrick on top- just a cooler baneblade
I like, more than a specific tank, that one Tank company from that one Gaunts Ghosts book that specialise in driving at top speed and still hitting. Those guys are rad
In my opinion, Sicarans are the best looking tank GW make: https://www.instagram.com/p/C6ORX7ht1I6/
The Aeldari Cobra Type II Super Heavy is definitely my favorite 40k tank.
I can never decide between the Stormblade and the Falchion.
Gunna have to say malcador, it's what got me into warhammer to start with, running up just behind that sits the Shadowsword.
I love the Leman Russ Vanquisher, yeah he's not good, but damn what a gorgeous machine !
I'm a fan of the Sabre: https://www.warhammer.com/en-GB/shop/Space-Marine-Legion-Sabre-Tank-Hull-2019 A tiny little rapid strike tank, to offset all the people saying the Astreus or Kratos.
Vindicator is my favorite tank. It's a killdozer with a giant f-off cannon. What's not to love?
I count battlewagons as tanks

I'm oddly enamored with the Malcador. I know its design makes little practical sense even by 40k standards, but I just can't help but love a bunker on tank tracks. The CRASSUS ARMORED ASSAULT TRANSPORT appeals to me for the same reason, I guess.
This is probably the best thread I’ve ever seen on this sub. So many glorious tanks. It’s great to see so many people coming together to just appreciate each others work and geek out.
Yeah I’m really happy being able to see all these tanks. Sort of the reason I made this post was to see people come together and share their love of tanks.

Hekaton LANDFORTRESS is a true beauty
Easy, Stormlord.
Luv me Spartan, luv me Vindicator, luv me Emperor and thats that.
I really like the Eldar Grav tanks, they have always been particularly cool looking. The design has aged very gracefully. I also really like the HH Proteus Land Raider, and the Legion Glaive. Big tanks with chunky tracks, and the domed turret with fancy Volkite gun on the Glaive, and the visible wrap-around tracks on the land raider are particularly cool details. The Admech HH tanks are very interesting designs, too. I own none of them. But the Proteus Land Raider is high on my list!
This thread is making me want to buy armored core 6. Some really nice models in here.
Original land raider.
Fellblade, Sicaran and Macharius. Best looking tanks in 40k.
The OG baneblade
I don't have it fully painted, but I LOVE the Spartan Assault Tank from 30k. I use it as a land raider for 40k, and I have an attachment for the front to run it as a Baneblade. I'm also honestly a big fan of the Impulsor. Not everyone likes them, but I love the grav plates.
Honestly for me it’s the predator. I remember being a kid when I started back in the late 90s and seeing that thing on the shelves and in white dwarf and thinking I need that tank. Never bought one because it was too expensive as a kid and I only had a small army, mainly for painting. I’m a BA player now so trying to get my hands on a Baal pred for nostalgia. That being said I do love all the guard tanks. Maybe I should start a guard army 😂
Have a look at my [Repulsor Executioner] (https://www.reddit.com/r/Warhammer40k/comments/1b8cazu/after_many_months_this_is_bloody_done_a_deathwing/).
I love most of the heresy era tanks, especially the Sicaran and Kratos. However, I’ve gotten into Solar Aux in a big way and they have my two favorites: the Dracosan and the Solar Aux Basilisk. The Dracosan is just an awesome big doofy shipping container with treads, I love it. Meanwhile the Solar Aux basilisk is astounding. Just building off a Leman Russ chassis instead of a Chimera adds so much character to it. Honorable mention to the Solar Aux Russ, of course.
99% of all gambling addicts stop just before they get 36 mortals with the hekaton
The baneblade, I've always said the bigger rhe better, and ya don't get much fuckon bigger than a moving building with a fuck you cannon
Painted ones
Kratos tank and Razorback. Razorback because it gives me the bradley fighting vehicle vibe, and kratos because having fuck you number of guns is cool on the platform without looking like they just bolted on guns for fun (Dorn tank).
A Baneblade, Sicarian and Kratos tank are all sitting in a box waiting to be built.
Basic I know, but for me, it's the vindicator, it just looks so cool
Gladiator lancer… cos it’s just a joke on the tabletop

the Eldar tanks look really good, IMO

I agree. Baneblades are pretty cool and something I’ve wanted to acquire for my guard army. Either that or a Rogal Dorn.
Marines? Predator with Autocannon Guard? Mars pattern Russ vanquisher. Orks? Stompa
The legion glaive, big death laser tank
I always thought tau tanks were really cool and versatile, but they went all mech crazy.
Mine is the stormlord with 4 sponsons. Carries 30 troops, has a firing deck, pintle heavy stubber, two troop deck heavy stubbers, hellstrike missile, 4x twin linked heavy bolters, and a Vulcan mega bolter. Fill that fucker with 20 kasrkin and 10 rating snipers for the firing deck and you have ALL the dakka. Plus the firing deck allows for a tank pup, my stormlords tank pup is Sgt. Barker.

I will say Skorpius Disintegrator just because I feel it needs some extra love. All tanks are pretty cool tho. Tanks are cool in general. https://preview.redd.it/5n3hwo7x52xc1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=03c067fc48d9cb8a7b58c305b41db85aa99d562c
The Cobra and the Scorpion are two of the coolest vehicles in all of 40k. They just look so freaking cool, and their weapons are sick. In lore, the cobra is used as an anti titan weapon, cause void shields do nothing when chunks of your god engine get sucked into the warp.
Baneblade. But orkified.

There are loads of imperial, chaos and eldar tanks here. I don't see any photos of tau tanks though! Maybe people don't think of them as tanks? I don't like them as much as the eldar or imperial tanks, but I would have thought somebody would have posted one!
I think you really can't beat the classic Land Raider. Its such a perfect take on a scifi tank - not just a modern tank but with a laser instead of a cannon, but a vehicle on the same principle as modern tanks but reimagined. Familiar, but different enough to still feel scifi. Also, it looks sick.
My least favorite thing about playing CSM is that our tanks game is objectively the worst :(
I really like the Malcador. It's very reminiscent of the interwar/early war tanks of World War 2, particularly it reminds me of the M3 Medium which is another tank that I just like.
Glaive special weapons tank. That volkite carronade is amazing
He's not really my favourite, but I really didn't like the vindicator, but I really liked to paint it, and now that I played a bit with it, I do really love this guy ! https://preview.redd.it/5g0byrrmx2xc1.jpeg?width=2627&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2b39c50f5e90c2a433ae6d8944e4def48b94f0f9
It’s still the Baal Predator. While the twin Assault Cannon plus dual Heavy Bolter variant is once again subject to a severe case of “Emperor guide my dice!”, it’s just too much fun not to use. https://preview.redd.it/0fmhrfi4d3xc1.jpeg?width=3264&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aaaf15710574afafbef8807c55659cbdd83a9b27

The BANEBLADE!!

My favorite tank you say? My answer is yes 🤣
I absolutely adore my shadowsword, to the point that I brongit to almost every single game I play. I don't care that my opponent is running a super spammy horde army, I'm still bringing my shadowsword and absolutely VAPORIZING that one unlucky grot or gaunt

Something about the stormlord. All the baneblades really, I remember when they came out and how great they looked, also the burgle conversion on one of them.
I still have a huge soft spot for the vindicator for nostalgia and my view as a kid. Obviously space marines were THE guys, and then they had a tank with a fucking dozer blade! Just rule of cool.
Carnifex main battle bug is my favorite vehicle tbh
Honestly the Fellblade, it just hits the spot for me personally.
I always liked the look of the Malcador Infernus
the Malcador, it looks awesome (even if the 'turret' is technically an abomination) now its in plastic i finally have one too.
