Handling Modifier (Drive (Ground Vehicle): 0Ĭrew: 1 Commander (Turret), 1 Driver, 1 Gunner (Turret), 1 Loader/Gunner (Turret/Hull Weapon), 2 additional Gunners (Sponsons if taken) Traits: Enclosed, Reinforced Armour, Ponderous, Tracked Vehicle The Demolisher is a vital and powerful element of any Armoured Company. Often equipped with hull lascannons and exceptionally dangerous sponson weaponry such as plasma cannons and multi-meltas, these siege tanks can blast holes in enemy formations, allowing for faster elements to move in and claim their objectives. On the offensive, the Demolisher acts as a siege tank, spearheading attacks against the most hardened points of enemy resistance.
Demolishers can form bulwarks in defensive actions, and a line of these tanks can hold off a determined attacker for hours, if not days, when properly supplied with ammunition. This makes it one of the slower vehicles in the Imperial Guard arsenal, almost as slow as some of the colossal super-heavy tanks, but also one of the most resilient. Based on the venerable chassis and construction techniques of the Leman Russ, the Demolisher strains itsĮngine by adding even more armour to its rear quarters and thickening the armour in all other locations. However, the main cannon is not the only thing that makes the Demolisher so dangerous and so popular amongst the infantry of the Imperial Guard. This demolisher cannon fires massive shells that can level buildings, annihilate heavily armoured infantry, and obliterate vehicles in a single hit. The Demolisher gets its name from the enormous siege cannon that sits within its turret.
