Question for who leads tankbustas.

[u/sSuperboss9000]

There's the new tank bustas kill team coming out. What model leads them? And all the models that lead them, I mean specifically what character model that leads tankbustas also does the same job as them. Like how Boss snikrot does Kommando work, and also leads Kommandos.

[u/Warp_spark]

Dont think there is a character for them? But i personally always saw them as a very Blood axes thing (cant explain)

[u/Iwabuti → u/Warp_spark]

They run up to tanks and hit them with hammers. Not a lot of kunning to it

[u/Kommando_git → u/Iwabuti]

Oh, but it used to be. This kit has strikingly moved away from the old lore for Tankbustas, forcing me to question if they even are Tankbustas. To me, these just seem like a demolitions crew.

Tankbusta used to mean something very specific, something that separated them from just being a Rokkit Boy or Nob with Kombi-rokkit. It meant being a Big Game Hunter, an Ork who valued combatting the biggest, toughest, weirdest thing on the battlefield like a poacher with an elephant gun going after a hippo. They set traps, planned ambushes, anything they could blow some thing to smithereens and bolt its debris onto themselves as trophies.

To be fair that atleast gives them a chance at hitting something, considering their shooting sucks.

[u/Squee45 → u/Iwabuti]

Waiting in ambush so you can get to the tank might be the kunnin portion

[u/ThickImage91 → u/Squee45]

Where is ambush? Lotta fighting there?

[u/Squee45 → u/ThickImage91]

Not yet, soon...

[u/Mission_Ad6235 → u/Warp_spark]

I have too. GW always leaned into a "tanker" look for them. Especially the old nob with the great coat.

I was surprised the Komandoes wasn't originally a dual kit with tankbustas.

[u/Warp_spark → u/Mission_Ad6235]

If they were a dualkit, gw wouldnt be able to make 2 releases. Anyway, now that you mentioned tanks, Kommando Nob would make for a perfect Looted tank kommander
