Hello Boyz. Today (Hell, always this word -_-) we're Talking about the Looted tank. We know which is the MBT (Main Battel Tank) for each faction: -SM: predator -CSM: chaos predator -Eldars: Falcon -Orks: Looted tank But how Will be da Looted tank? Predator or Leman Russ? Hum... Littel comparaison: Predator: +: it Will be as the MBT of the SM/CSM. (Egality) +: good lateral turrets (180° or More) -: No originality. (Or we need Kuztomisation) Leman Russ: +:the orks Will have a More resistant tank. +: a howtizer (zone damage weapon) -: no Gun on the principal turret. -: limited lateral turrets (90°)
ya, the Leman Russ is a good choice. But i think that the predator will Be a speeding tank, and the leman Russ will be more in the role of the artiellry.
There should be a looted Predator, but no looted Leman Russ until IG are added in my opinion. Just makes sense that way.
Or the looted leman russ will be the start of the leman russ for the IG. Like in DOWI. (What a bad example)
Seeing how Arkhona was a fortress world, there should be plenty of unsupervised Lemann Russ tanks tucked away here and there. Besides, even if the IG is not on the planet yet, its status as a forge world would mean that even the PDF probably would have access to the tanks.
While I don't know how Looted Tanks will work, it might be as a Mek only ability, which allows them to take the wreck of an enemy vehicle (assuming anything's left) and "use" it for a fifthteen seconds, and then the machine will be working again and be on the Orks' side, with less general stats because of how banged up it is. Maybe you could argue that it should be repairable at specific stations at bases like other vehicles, but the strength of this ability would be that any hulls left on the battlefield is a possible requsition-free vehicle, albit a bit, well, lousy at that. My two teef anyway.
