>in acient times, Baneblades were considered light scout tanks
Just what the fuck was considered a Super Heavy then ?
A bigger tank.
probably like a bolo or some shit
>>47233362
Unfortunately they were made obsolete by those damnable humanoid mecha
>>47233362
>lumbering behemoth
>scout
Yeah...
Anyway, where is this from?
>>47233507
baneblade is a light or medium tank by Daot humanity is how it goes
>>47233582
Yeah I get it, but what is the source? One of the IA books?
>>47233403
Well, 40k humanoid mecha are not nearly as scary as the stuff the Arms Forts had to face.
>>47233362
Predator was the main battle tank of DAoT human forces (IA vol. 2). Baneblade as a light tank is a ebbin may-may and perpetuating it without proof is shitposting.
>>47233362
Something like this, probably.
>>47233362
>>47233362
Isn't light tank Baneblades just a bad meme some shmuck on 1d4chan wrote without any official canon supporting it?
>>47233889
considering how powerful Daot humanity was does it really matter
>>47233929
Yes, because it's fucking wrong. See >>47233726
>>47233726
predator was a light battle tank in the dark ages
Everything else points to the precursor to the Land Raider being the main/heavy battle tank of the DAoT.
>>47233613
There isn't one. It's just one of the stupid bits of fanon that's seeped its way into people's awareness of the fluff.
>>47233978
This is the danger of memes and why you should tell people to knock it off when they over use them.
>>47234011
kojima was right
>>47233962
I gave you the source and you still got it wrong.
>"The provenance of the Predator battle tank is thought to lie in the forgotten depths of the Dark Age of Technology, when some hold that it was the standard battle tank of Mankind's fighting forces."
-IA vol. 2, pg. 61
>Everything else points to the precursor to the Land Raider being the main/heavy battle tank of the DAoT.
Oh?
>"The first was a near complete dataslab imprint of STC information describing a heavily armoured assault tank."
-IA vol. 2, pg. 27
What part of that says "this was the main fighting vehicle of DAoT humans"?
>>47234111
so did humans actually fight or wasn't that all done with the men of Iron
>>47234172
The Dark Age of Technology wasn't just the Men of Iron. There were a couple of millenia before Men of Iron became prevalent.
>>47233582
Particularly unlikely as the Rhino gets its name from it's original designation of 'RH1-N0 Tracked Reconnaissance Vehicle'
>>47233362
Your mama.
>>47233362
Titans. During DAoT titan legions were the standard military force (real military, not some force a newly founded colony could build to defend themselves). Baneblades are roughly the size of the Warhound scout titan, whcih by titan legion standards is a light vehicle.
>>47233362
Bolos probably. Or Titans.
>>47234226
There also appears to have been some time before the complete breakdown that was also after the MoI rebellions.
>>47233362
>forgetting about the Titan tank crews
The tank was so big it needed titans to crew it
Any vehicle that cannot cross bridges or roads without destroying them is not a scout vehicle, regardless of what GW writers have to say.
>>47233362
my dick lmao
