Default New IG unit: the "Bulldozer" THAT

Hi all Ig players I got a new unit for you!!* ^-^

The Bulldozer Tactical Heavy Assault Tank (THAT)

[table][tr][td]Vehicle[/td][td]Front[/td][td]Side[/td][td]Rear[/td][td]BS[/td][/tr][tr][td]Bulldozer[/td][td]14[/td][td]14[/td][td]14[/td][td]3[/td][td][/table]

It costs 200pts and has a turret mounted* buster cannon (earthshaker cannon) but has special shells:
Bunker buster:
All hits on bunkers made automatically penetrate and kill all inside from the super nuclear based shell explosion > ;D
Tank buster:
Gives the cannon strength 10 and ap 1 due to the special cordite fuse and sub molecular warhead
Infantry buster:
Uses ordanance template like Tau railgun submunitions and has same stats (Illegal posting of stats -Wargamer)
Incinerator shell:
Uses ordanane template again but has: range 60" str 4* ap 5

Also has a choice of twin-linked lascannon at +30 pts, twin-linked autocannon at +25pts, twin-linked heavy flamer at +20pts or twin-linked multi-melta at +25pts, these are hull weapons.

Also has choice of 2 sets of twin-linked lascannon at +50pts, 2 sets of twin-linked autocannon at +40pts, 2 sets of twin-linked heavy flamers at +30pts or 2 sets of twin-linked multi-meltas at +35pts.

Auto turret has twin-linked heavy bolters

What do you think loyar guardsmen of the tank corps!!!!

I personally think it's too over powered for it's price and the options aren't that clear. How about removing all those shells and allowing the player to choose the shell they want to purchase?

Rule writing really isn't your strongpoint... I'd tell you what's wrong with this tank, but I don't know where to begin...

Well is it to points expensive or is it too tough (it is an assault tank!)

It's... wrong.

It has better armour than the Leman Russ, yet it isn't Super Heavy (and don't you dare mention the Demolisher! GW can make exceptions, you cannot!).

The "Bunker Buster" is at the same time overpowered and pathetically idiotic. Those "special shells" are stupid. "Infantry Buster" would never be used, as the "Bunker Buster" shell would do everything it would 100x better (therefore, I assume you've never actually read the Guard codex, or you'd know this).

It has almost as many guns as a Baneblade.

It is about 400 points under-cost.

Oh... and you posted copywrite rules for the Railgun... you're not doing well here.

I don't like people who try to make uber-units. I suggest if you are going to make a vehicle, you either study the Codices and figure out each item point-by-point like I do, or just stick with VDR.

That is just way way way too powerful to be in a guard army
also for that pts cost it is way way way too cheap as already mentioned
And the "bunker bustsa" is just insane (and too cheap)


and wargamer wheres the railgun copyrite thing i cant see it
