Laugh at the Malcador Infernus if you will, but it is based off a really effective design from WW2. The Crocodile was a Churchill variant with the front machine gun swapped out for a flamethrower; the separate fuel cart gave them a lot of ammunition without adding much fiery death risk, and if it was damaged or empty the tank crew just detached and carried on with their fully functional main turret and second machine gun. They were devastating against bunkers and trenches, much of the time Germans just surrendered when Crocodiles approached.
I used to think it was based off the Churchill Croc, but I just now realized that it reminds me more of a super sized version of the Italian L3/33 flamethrower tankette
38:24 This concept intrigued me, so here's a shot at some info regarding it. Russ's Devil is a Variant of the Leman Russ Battle tank employed only by the Catachan Jungle fighters. "Developed" by Tech preists during Demonic incursions after the Fall of Cadia, Russ's Devil was constructed under the persuasion of Catachan officers give soilders heavier firepower against the Deamonic Hordes. The variant was constructed to navigate the harsh jungle terrain of catachan, which it accomplishes with suprising ease. Its main armaments are a Heavy Flamer, mounted to the underside of the vehicle. A Salvaged Avenger Bolt Cannon, which is mounted to the main turret. Atop which a Heavy Bolter is mounted on a swivel turrent. Massive sawblades are mounted on the front to allow it to cut the brush of the world make surprisingly effective melee weapons. The Vehicle is surprisingly Popular with guardsmen. However members of the Inquisition are concerned about the components in tank being of Deamonic Origin. "That Thing is a pain to work with. The Bolt Cannon's barrels consistently get to the point of melting. The sawblades have to be replaced practically daily. I have to say 3 different Rites of Activation to get Thing to start." - An Exasperated Engiseer on the Topic of Russ's Devil.
a squad with normally only pistols or SMGs. not very often they would have anything larger than that, since a full-sized rifle would be a pain in the ass to quickly pull out and use, or even move around the tank at all.
Close but the Basilisk only has a 132mm gun (5.25 inch) rather than the 203mm (8 inch) on the M110 so it's actually closer to the secondary battery on the KGV or the main battery of the first 11 Dido-class cruisers of the Royal Navy during WWII.
@@steweygrrr The Basilisk is way smaller than I thought. Wouldve expected at least an 8 inch on a 40K tank, hell throw a 16 inch gun on there and return the Tau to the stone age
i love how the leman russ was basically named as a joke by space wolves and in 30k it was fucking terrible, but its pretty much the best think the devolved imperium has left in numbers. one more reason for rowboat to hate being alive lol.
@@lukelblitz3627 i cant remember where id heard that, i think it was arch or majorkill so they were probably fucking round. they had way better than the leman russ in 30k though
I mean, going by rules it is a much better tank than anything the marines got, so idk man, my Salamanders get pretty jelly everytime them guardsmen show up in the neighborhood, drivin in squads of three and blasting their guns twice in one round.
@@lukalovric2463 So a tank everyone shits on but it’s more reliable, easier to produce, and almost as effective as the overhyped tanks that take ten times more resources to produce yet everyone shits on it anyway because they don’t actually get war.
Not really, it's track shape and style is actually closer to things like the char B1 and Renault ft (speaking of, the oldest depictions of russes is giant Renault FTs). Infact The only thing it really has in common with the British mark 1-iv is that it has sponsoons, which is low hanging fruit.
@@matthiuskoenig3378 If anything out of the WW1 french tanks it'd be most close in design with, it'd be the FT but 2 or 3 times bigger. But it's biggest resemblance is to the Mark 1.
The Imperial Guard armor is what got me into 40k. Something about shooting insane amount of fire from frontline leman russes, baneblades, and manticores to wipe anything off the map awakes some primal joy in me. I got a 2500 point mechanized guard list painted with a shadowsword left to paint.
Basilisks aren't even that silly. Look at the some of the Stryker variants the US Army has. I remember seeing some of those in our motor pool and thinking it looked goofy.
those strykers were only ever supposed to have a 7.62 mg mounted on it when it was designed, then it wound up with a 20mm bushmaster, haha. scary when your government starts thinking like the ig...

I love how there is a variant of the Baneblade (Shadowsword) where it's canon in lore that their machine spirits and that of Titans hate each other, because a Shadowsword is a titan killer.
I'm surprised they didn't touch on the Quake cannon varient of the baneblade. Where it's ammo harnesses the dying scream of planets that have been extermenautus'd.
DK hasn't seen a dozer blade on a tank: can I introduce you to the mine flail attachment for the WW2 Sherman? Also the overpressure on the earthshaker cannon could probably kill a Terminator at close range.
I'm not sure if this is a typo or not by it is cannon in my heart Traitor's Bane - A Hellhammer scavenged by the 183rd Catachan regiment to aid in their guerrilla war against the forces of Chaos during the latter's occupation of Pythos. Refitted and upgraded by the Jokaero K'cee, this Hellhammer is unique in the sense that it has been fitted with extra external armor and the ability to release electrical surges throughout it's outer armor. It has also been upgraded so that it can reach a speed of 200 mph without the crew noticing the incredible speed's effects. Playing a pivotal role in both the defense of different strongholds and offense in the reconquest of Pythos. Throughout the campaign it has served as the mobile HQ of Colonel "Death" Strike. Earning it's name from it's numerous kills and the fear it induced in the many forces of Chaos plaguing the Deathworld Pythos.
Considering how much emphasis the Guard puts on arty, the training of Forward Observers is probably pretty good, so friendly fire should be limited to danger-close when positions are almost overrun.
@@ObsidiaBlack1 Gaunt's Ghosts, Honour Guard, a pair of Leman Russ tanks were used for clearing out a path through a minefield so that the rest of the expedition could move through without issue.
It's not just a night lord mentality, as an ork player one of my personal victories in a match was dropping a Primaris with grot blastas. Nothing like watching an immortal upgraded demigod getting wrecked by a barrage of cheap pistol fire.😂
My favorite guard moment is running over post-9th Blood Angel vanguard vets with a banesword in close combat and wiping the squad because I used the 2+ WS stratagem and they buggered the charge the turn before. Adamantium Treads are brutal af.
Various Tank Thoughts: I believe the old Colossus was based on a Leman Russ chassis. The shells for its cannon are so huge that it doesn't carry its own ammo. Every Colossus has to be followed by a Trojan which carries the shells and lifts them into the gun with a crane. The newer variant of the M1 Abrams, the M1A2C, weighs around 79 tons. So the Leman Russ is doing just fine in terms of mass. Turretless tank destroyers & assault guns like the Destroyer and Thunderer were common in both the German and Soviet armies of WWII.
Also the standard M1A2 comes in just slightly above 70 tons. Additionally Abrams tanks have a top speed of just slightly below 70 kph but that is only because it is governed, if it was allowed to go all out it would rip its suspension and tracks apart. Yah putting a jet engine in a tank!

I understand why the baneblades need a techpriest to make sure it runs: it's probably got a hot drinks machine with working bar inside, so when the troops inside have something to do while the tank does all the work
In defence of the deathstrike missile being on a mobile platform, the Imperial Guard is a very mobile force relatively speaking. I mean the Guard aren’t tied to one planet (besides the planet they recruit from, which they only take the absolute best of said planets planetary defence force but that’s a discussion for another time) but they’re constantly on the move from one warzone to the next via troopships. Seems to make a lot more sense giving deathstrike missiles a dedicated, mobile platform to facilitate easier and faster deployment to whatever fire base they’re assigned to until they’re needed. Besides the fact that you should take 40k art with a grain of salt (I like to think of much of it as in universe propaganda) there’s no real reason a deathstrike missile should be anywhere near the front lines unless those lines have moved close to an IG deployment zone.
Fun fact, according to that chart of the baneblade family names, there are at least 13 other varients, including stuff like the falchion and the glaive
Yarrick's baneblade seems inappropriately ostentatious for an imperial officer, until you realize that it's blinged out on purpose so enemies attack him FIRST.
If I remember correctly lore wise the macharuis super heavy battle tank really came into its own during the seige of vraks. Its was kinda used in a similar capacity to a baneblade but given the nature of vraks and the krieg the Macharius was kinda seen as an expendable baneblade. Much quicker to make, slightly less powerful but filled the role. No were near as sacred and revered so it wouldnt be held off in reserve when needed like a baneblade would for fear of loosing the holy baneblade. So because of this its seen mostly in the hands of kreig, lower teir forge worlds outfitting lesser worlds in seiges and other scratch company or last chancer groups.
A Chimera is more of a IFV tbh, APCs just drive and drop off while having a small amount of armor to make sure the infantry don't die to shrapnel, while IFVs stay in the fight and support the infantry.
26:06 In Ghostmaker, Gaunt and his Ghosts were fired upon on Voltemand after they'd taken a city. Basilisks from the Ketzok Serpents, specifically an artillery regiment, fired upon the position they were resting at, having been given the command to fire upon the region due to retreating heretics (this wasn't true though), two to three hundred were dead, three or two hundred wounded. When Gaunt got to the Basilisks, he punched the colonel in charge of them in the face, and they'd only just started getting friendly too. Gaunt eventually reached the headquarters of General Sturm, and got pissed off at him, and the commander of the Basilisks had his own vehicle drive through the gate of the building Sturm was using as his headquarters do that he could help with a little scheme to ensure Gaunt didn't get a court martial for attacking a fellow officer. Also, think you could cover the Tanith First-and-Only?
Mmmm, THIS is the lore I truly relish in. The hardware, the rolling fortresses, the awe inspiring firepower, the sheer overwhelming dakka that is isn't the Orks! At least that's what the Guard brings to the table for vehicles and weapons platforms. I love the Tau, Necron, and Eldar arsenals and motor pools for different reasons, though awe inspiring firepower is a common theme.
The Infernus Malcador tank is probably based on the Churchill Crocodile, a WW2 flamethrower tank used on bunkers mainly for intimidation to get Germans to surrender. And yes, the Crocodiles had the fuel trailer in the back like the Infernus.
Note about flamethrower tanks: External fuel trailers let you carry a lot more gas AND if your fuel supply *does* explode it explodes *outside* of the tank.
Modern self propelled artillery also have anti infantry weapons either mounted on the hull like the basilisk or turret mounted. The Basilisk is basically a WW2 self propelled artillery, check out Panzerhaubitze Hummel or the M7 Priest.
The Minotaur can be taken by Space Marine Legions in the Horus Heresy, The Outer Circle did a full blown conversion of one to make it fit the Space Marine design scheme and it's gorgeous.

Seeing Kirioth think that a 60 ton tank going 70 mph is mental is kinda funny when you think those are the average stats for an IRL Abrams and not really out there for Main Battle Tanks
Abrams is closer to 70 tons and has a max governed speed of 45mph on roads. That being said it probably can go faster than that but it would tear itself apart
@@Intelligent_Turtle the 1500hp turbine engine it has is literally a jet engine so it absolutely can go faster possibly up to 90mph but it’s mechanically governed at 45mph so the crew doesn’t kill themselves on a small bump or destroy the tank if they floored it
@@bamboozlednoodle6513 weirdly the governed speed at 45mph is because at the original 57mph the turbine it runs on would rip itself apart due to the stresses because of it weighing just under 70tons .
It's likely got more to do with the tracks than the crew, atleast for road speeds. From what I have read that was the biggest issue that needed to be overcome for ripsaw to reach 60mph (speaking of it reaches 60mph and has a 1500hp engine but weighs only 10 tons, I am not sure an abrams weighing 60-70 tons would actually be able to reach 60mph...)

He just looked at me in shock before uttering the softest "Good game" and shaking my hand. Real nice dude.
I would love more breakdowns on other factions' gear/vehicles, from eldar to tau to necrons and so on. Loves this episode and Kirioth made a brilliant third host too!
If you want spider tanks look up Mortian miniatures, they got three different sizes of spider tanks including a freaking baneblade one. Though the owner is a bit of an oddball so he can be a bit difficult to work with sometimes. But regardless of that I love the spider tanks he's got and I can't wait to build my super-heavy warcrawler at some point when I get time to.
How did I miss this!!! Podcast of my favorites! Love Kirioth! Such a good human being, brings genuine happiness without shame to the hobby! I could listen this everyday!
As to DK's comment, bulldozer blades on tanks aren't uncommon, but not common it's been done since WWII with Sherman's, as shown, even StuG lll, to even SPG's some to move rubble and are then called "engineer vehicles " and some are used in the case for SPG's it's meant to dig in and prevent movement from firing

Laugh at the Malcador Infernus if you will, but it is based off a really effective design from WW2. The Crocodile was a Churchill variant with the front machine gun swapped out for a flamethrower; the separate fuel cart gave them a lot of ammunition without adding much fiery death risk, and if it was damaged or empty the tank crew just detached and carried on with their fully functional main turret and second machine gun. They were devastating against bunkers and trenches, much of the time Germans just surrendered when Crocodiles approached.
Also Churchills were just dope in general
I used to think it was based off the Churchill Croc, but I just now realized that it reminds me more of a super sized version of the Italian L3/33 flamethrower tankette
My personal canon for the Collosus tank is that the "small" caliber, the one guy is holding, is meant for the hidden side arm of the tank
I like to think that what he's holding is just a primer for the main shell.
@@alexvaraderey that could work too.
What if he's load smaller rounds for a shotgun style blast?
I look at that and think of the KV-2. Russia would be proud

This concept intrigued me, so here's a shot at some info regarding it.
Russ's Devil is a Variant of the Leman Russ Battle tank employed only by the Catachan Jungle fighters. "Developed" by Tech preists during Demonic incursions after the Fall of Cadia, Russ's Devil was constructed under the persuasion of Catachan officers give soilders heavier firepower against the Deamonic Hordes.
The variant was constructed to navigate the harsh jungle terrain of catachan, which it accomplishes with suprising ease. Its main armaments are a Heavy Flamer, mounted to the underside of the vehicle. A Salvaged Avenger Bolt Cannon, which is mounted to the main turret. Atop which a Heavy Bolter is mounted on a swivel turrent. Massive sawblades are mounted on the front to allow it to cut the brush of the world make surprisingly effective melee weapons.
The Vehicle is surprisingly Popular with guardsmen. However members of the Inquisition are concerned about the components in tank being of Deamonic Origin.
"That Thing is a pain to work with. The Bolt Cannon's barrels consistently get to the point of melting. The sawblades have to be replaced practically daily. I have to say 3 different Rites of Activation to get Thing to start."
- An Exasperated Engiseer on the Topic of Russ's Devil.
"The heavy bolter may be replaced with a set of dual harpoons, to reel the enemy into the saws"

Tank crews used to be able to bailout before they exploded. Then you would have a random 2 or 3 man squad walking around.
a squad with normally only pistols or SMGs. not very often they would have anything larger than that, since a full-sized rifle would be a pain in the ass to quickly pull out and use, or even move around the tank at all.

M110 self-propelled Howitzer is the real world equivalent to the basilisk
Close but the Basilisk only has a 132mm gun (5.25 inch) rather than the 203mm (8 inch) on the M110 so it's actually closer to the secondary battery on the KGV or the main battery of the first 11 Dido-class cruisers of the Royal Navy during WWII.
Or the North Korean/Soviet Koksan or how ever it's spelled.
Nah. Pretty much every sph predating stuff like the paladin would resemble the basilisk.
Somewhat equivalent. M110 isn't exactly a shining example of performance
@@steweygrrr The Basilisk is way smaller than I thought. Wouldve expected at least an 8 inch on a 40K tank, hell throw a 16 inch gun on there and return the Tau to the stone age

@@lukalovric2463 So a tank everyone shits on but it’s more reliable, easier to produce, and almost as effective as the overhyped tanks that take ten times more resources to produce yet everyone shits on it anyway because they don’t actually get war.
The funny thing about the Leman Russ tanks is that it's literally a Mark 1 tank with a turret on top.
Not really, it's track shape and style is actually closer to things like the char B1 and Renault ft (speaking of, the oldest depictions of russes is giant Renault FTs).
Infact The only thing it really has in common with the British mark 1-iv is that it has sponsoons, which is low hanging fruit.
@@matthiuskoenig3378 If anything out of the WW1 french tanks it'd be most close in design with, it'd be the FT but 2 or 3 times bigger.
But it's biggest resemblance is to the Mark 1.

Flamethrower tanks towing a fuel reservoir trailer was a real thing. For examples look at the Churchill Crocodile and the Italian L3-35Lf.
Basilisks aren't even that silly. Look at the some of the Stryker variants the US Army has. I remember seeing some of those in our motor pool and thinking it looked goofy.

Traitor's Bane - A Hellhammer scavenged by the 183rd Catachan regiment to aid in their guerrilla war against the forces of Chaos during the latter's occupation of Pythos. Refitted and upgraded by the Jokaero K'cee, this Hellhammer is unique in the sense that it has been fitted with extra external armor and the ability to release electrical surges throughout it's outer armor. It has also been upgraded so that it can reach a speed of 200 mph without the crew noticing the incredible speed's effects. Playing a pivotal role in both the defense of different strongholds and offense in the reconquest of Pythos. Throughout the campaign it has served as the mobile HQ of Colonel "Death" Strike. Earning it's name from it's numerous kills and the fear it induced in the many forces of Chaos plaguing the Deathworld Pythos.

Considering how much emphasis the Guard puts on arty, the training of Forward Observers is probably pretty good, so friendly fire should be limited to danger-close when positions are almost overrun.
Or, you know, intentional instances. Because this is the guard.
Why? Shells don’t hit those strong of faith.
Dozer blades on tanks are a real thing (e.g. extensively used in Iraq war to fill in trenches...somtimes while enemy soldiers were still in them)

@@ObsidiaBlack1 Gaunt's Ghosts, Honour Guard, a pair of Leman Russ tanks were used for clearing out a path through a minefield so that the rest of the expedition could move through without issue.
I'm very late, but I also wanted to add that they can be used to create barriers of dirt and sand which can be used as protection from enemy fire.
It's not just a night lord mentality, as an ork player one of my personal victories in a match was dropping a Primaris with grot blastas. Nothing like watching an immortal upgraded demigod getting wrecked by a barrage of cheap pistol fire.😂

My favorite guard moment is running over post-9th Blood Angel vanguard vets with a banesword in close combat and wiping the squad because I used the 2+ WS stratagem and they buggered the charge the turn before. Adamantium Treads are brutal af.
Various Tank Thoughts:
I believe the old Colossus was based on a Leman Russ chassis. The shells for its cannon are so huge that it doesn't carry its own ammo. Every Colossus has to be followed by a Trojan which carries the shells and lifts them into the gun with a crane.
The newer variant of the M1 Abrams, the M1A2C, weighs around 79 tons. So the Leman Russ is doing just fine in terms of mass.
Turretless tank destroyers & assault guns like the Destroyer and Thunderer were common in both the German and Soviet armies of WWII.
Also the standard M1A2 comes in just slightly above 70 tons. Additionally Abrams tanks have a top speed of just slightly below 70 kph but that is only because it is governed, if it was allowed to go all out it would rip its suspension and tracks apart. Yah putting a jet engine in a tank!
The Abrams is fucking shmoovin compared to a Leman Russ.

I understand why the baneblades need a techpriest to make sure it runs: it's probably got a hot drinks machine with working bar inside, so when the troops inside have something to do while the tank does all the work
In defence of the deathstrike missile being on a mobile platform, the Imperial Guard is a very mobile force relatively speaking. I mean the Guard aren’t tied to one planet (besides the planet they recruit from, which they only take the absolute best of said planets planetary defence force but that’s a discussion for another time) but they’re constantly on the move from one warzone to the next via troopships. Seems to make a lot more sense giving deathstrike missiles a dedicated, mobile platform to facilitate easier and faster deployment to whatever fire base they’re assigned to until they’re needed. Besides the fact that you should take 40k art with a grain of salt (I like to think of much of it as in universe propaganda) there’s no real reason a deathstrike missile should be anywhere near the front lines unless those lines have moved close to an IG deployment zone.
I mean, Soviets/Russians (also the Chinese and the North Koreans as well I think) have ICBMs on mobile platforms that they use in parades and stuff.
Fun fact, according to that chart of the baneblade family names, there are at least 13 other varients, including stuff like the falchion and the glaive
They're Astartes tanks though and this is a Guard tanks episode
SEE! Commissar on the right with his sword out urging on his Tank steed to charge!
Yarrick's baneblade seems inappropriately ostentatious for an imperial officer, until you realize that it's blinged out on purpose so enemies attack him FIRST.
If I remember correctly lore wise the macharuis super heavy battle tank really came into its own during the seige of vraks. Its was kinda used in a similar capacity to a baneblade but given the nature of vraks and the krieg the Macharius was kinda seen as an expendable baneblade. Much quicker to make, slightly less powerful but filled the role. No were near as sacred and revered so it wouldnt be held off in reserve when needed like a baneblade would for fear of loosing the holy baneblade. So because of this its seen mostly in the hands of kreig, lower teir forge worlds outfitting lesser worlds in seiges and other scratch company or last chancer groups.
The wyvern in game can re-roll all failed wounds for free, which is a very scary ability for a tank that can fire 4D6 shots

So, what I learned from this is that the Baneblade (and its many variants) is basically a titan in condensed format.

I love bricky and D.K.’s Reaction to the colossus tank.
26:06 In Ghostmaker, Gaunt and his Ghosts were fired upon on Voltemand after they'd taken a city. Basilisks from the Ketzok Serpents, specifically an artillery regiment, fired upon the position they were resting at, having been given the command to fire upon the region due to retreating heretics (this wasn't true though), two to three hundred were dead, three or two hundred wounded. When Gaunt got to the Basilisks, he punched the colonel in charge of them in the face, and they'd only just started getting friendly too. Gaunt eventually reached the headquarters of General Sturm, and got pissed off at him, and the commander of the Basilisks had his own vehicle drive through the gate of the building Sturm was using as his headquarters do that he could help with a little scheme to ensure Gaunt didn't get a court martial for attacking a fellow officer.
Also, think you could cover the Tanith First-and-Only?
Whippet tank had the same sort of turret formation as the Malcador with heavy bolters.
Mmmm, THIS is the lore I truly relish in. The hardware, the rolling fortresses, the awe inspiring firepower, the sheer overwhelming dakka that is isn't the Orks! At least that's what the Guard brings to the table for vehicles and weapons platforms. I love the Tau, Necron, and Eldar arsenals and motor pools for different reasons, though awe inspiring firepower is a common theme.
The Infernus Malcador tank is probably based on the Churchill Crocodile, a WW2 flamethrower tank used on bunkers mainly for intimidation to get Germans to surrender. And yes, the Crocodiles had the fuel trailer in the back like the Infernus.
Note about flamethrower tanks: External fuel trailers let you carry a lot more gas AND if your fuel supply *does* explode it explodes *outside* of the tank.

Abrams is closer to 70 tons and has a max governed speed of 45mph on roads. That being said it probably can go faster than that but it would tear itself apart
@@bamboozlednoodle6513 Oops, I checked and read Kph as Mph, still, it isnt the most far fetched concept
@@Intelligent_Turtle the 1500hp turbine engine it has is literally a jet engine so it absolutely can go faster possibly up to 90mph but it’s mechanically governed at 45mph so the crew doesn’t kill themselves on a small bump or destroy the tank if they floored it
@@bamboozlednoodle6513 weirdly the governed speed at 45mph is because at the original 57mph the turbine it runs on would rip itself apart due to the stresses because of it weighing just under 70tons .
It's likely got more to do with the tracks than the crew, atleast for road speeds. From what I have read that was the biggest issue that needed to be overcome for ripsaw to reach 60mph (speaking of it reaches 60mph and has a 1500hp engine but weighs only 10 tons, I am not sure an abrams weighing 60-70 tons would actually be able to reach 60mph...)
