I used the steam tank against a friend who was trying out the Druchii. He used the gauntlet of power and decimated me-I do mean decimated. I thought I might cry!
I think that is your best bet against the steam tank. And, yes, they can move 15", and if the player uses them right, they often will into a charge.

Well, time WOULD be nice...
And, Storm of Chaos is here. Are you ready?

RBT's work well against the Steam Tank, and should allow you to damage it a fair bit before it can get close enough to be a problem.
Also remember that the Steam Tank cannot fight in HtH in your turn, and that it cannot engage models with a US of 1 or 2! Send a Noble on a Dark Steed with a Great Weapon against it for some fun
There's nothing to see here. Move along.

Hehehe. Pity the executioners' killingblow doesn't work against it. An Executioner runs up to the tank and is shot at the last second. But his sword flyes from his hand and hits the tank. Sending flying across the field.

Characters cannot be charged by the Steam Tank, but they can surely be damaged in close combat (on his turn) and be shot at.
The Gauntlet will destroy it in two turns pretty safely, just stick the Highborn into a unit of Cold One Knights, and kill the damn thing. Actually the Highborn could even kill it on his own, he stands a really good chance (with a really good armour), to survive its next turn, especially when it is heavily damaged already.
Bye
Thanee

after our last thread about it me and a friend did a fight with hum using one of my land raiders as a stand in (it was in desguise).
well it is beatable with the gauntlet, (i funally charged the thing and almost wrecked it). but it often soaks up much punishment it is unreal. as we don't have the manpower to try and wreck it i would start to cry (almost anyway) if i evcer faced one for real. it took half my army's concentrated effort to take it out, during that time the rest of his army could sit and file their toenails for all they cared.
it is a very nasty piece of work. beatable yes. but not easily for us. you more or less need the lrod with gauntlet and even she will need 2 rounds to do it. during that time he is assured that she wont wreck havock among his other troops.

Take a look into my last battle report (Morathi vs Balthasar Gelt). There was a Steam Tank present, and I had a Highborn with Gauntlet of Power. Still, I did not attack the tank and let it go unhindered, pretty much avoiding it.
Ok, it was lucky and killed a unit of Corsairs, but that just happens. It really doesn't do that much damage. Also the Steam Tank has to be careful about heavy cavalry, as they can hurt it quite good! My opponent has lost quite a few Steam Tanks to various heavy cavalry already!

i charge on ST, hurt it a lot but didnt waste it
on next turn it just blow away trying to move or shoot
its unfair

Hey thanks for all the feedback ive only just joined this web site and am loving it already. I always take the gauntlet to tournaments because theres just so many of those blastered steam tanks around these days! my friend collects Vamp Counts and he is struggling with the tank any suggestions for what they might do and does anyone know of any decent vamp counts web sites?
Cheers....
