[@KalashVodka175]

@@tarektechmarine8209 Incorrect, at times the Imperium takes prisoners, primarily for information gathering but also for biological research (ie vivisections and internment in admech research stations). There may also be other unusual reasons for taking prisoners : triumph parade marches and executing the prisoners near loyal civilian population to embolden the spirits. To be clear : Prisoners taken by the Imperium are usually not going to survive more than a few weeks or months, but they are occasionally taken.

A, we can't leave this blessed spirit-machine fall into oblivion and disrepair!

With faith in their hearts and the Omnisiah blessing in their hands.

[@ryanedgerton1982]

A You've spent a long time building up this tank crew -- I think they deserve to have a bit more fun! Thanks for another excellent narrative Baldemort!

[@Fen_Wolf]

A for sure! It was such a joy hearing from these guys again been a good long while and I want to see them do their part helping keep the fight up aganist the tau! Amazing video as always brother B your stories truely are the best, caught me off guard when they turned that traitor into a servator but at least they are getting some use from him.

[@KnifeCursed]

I’m voting for: A I’d love to hear about these tankers fighting a guerilla action against the Tau.

[@tankmorebed3331]

My vote is for A. While this would be a good place to end their tale they have a new ride and a servitor driver I would like to see how that plays out. They made Pator a servitor without a mind wipe that is beautifully cruel. While the big battles will be great we may not be able to get into the intriguing intricacies of the crew (and thier development) amongst the action. All that being said I kinda hope they make it to abundance one day lol.

[@tankmorebed3331]

Love your work Baldy, you make some of the best stories of the modern day.

[@joeldooley9512]

A, B, and C... mostly B. Tau boy recalls some aspects of his first scrap as a "real" boy of the imperium. That could transition to the biggest and bloodiest final battle. In victory or defeat, the Emperor protects!

[@inquisitorgarza312]

The beauty of the Imperial Guard Tanks is that even though their are many enemies that have better technological advantage against them they still are able to fight above their weight and weapon, and there is no doubt that the tanks in the Imperial Guard would outlast anything that the enemies of mankind has.

[@ginjasteve4435]

Ok this was great. Sorry to say due to work and life I haven’t listened to one of these in ages. @Baldermort this is story telling in the 40K universe at such an excellent level I almost feel you should be Henry Cavill’s screen writer. Well done mate!

A Your story-telling is superlative, even above than the general, copious, lore knowledge you have bestowed upon me, I treasure these original narratives of yours as truly impassioned, inspired, as well as inspiring, crafts of art. This could indeed serve as a fitting capstone for this humble, yet incredibly tenacious, tanker crew; but, as with all your characters, I am loathe to have heard the last of them.

[@BohdanKaiba]

That was a really nice and kind write up, I agree too!

[@XeoXonin]

A! I want to see A and -then- B, this is one of my favourite narrative storylines! I also enjoyed the double perspective; a new flavour that is most welcome!

[@kringeknight4831]

B. This is awesome. I think it would be sweet to see these guys in a much larger scale confrontation, a time skip to them engaging in a colossal battle maybe through a ruined city or something. Guerrilla warfare, but in a concrete/rockrete jungle! Could be a fun way to talk about some of the exotic battle suits of the tau/ more imperial vehicle hidden on the old armory world as they advance towards the main armory/storage bunker. This video was awesome!

A Great job as always Baldimort and I have to agree, I kinda want to get a Malcador to build and paint after hearing the lore, I love how the tracks remind me of a world war one british tank.

[@fatcoyote2]

The Defender actually looks effective. I imagine a decently led PDF with a few of these could raise hell in a city fight.

[@LopsidedBottle]

Vote A Guerilla warfare sounds like a ruddy good time with this tank crew. Plus it opens up the options of more Tau narratives that provide a delightful lens to describe the Imperium. Great video Baldermort, thoroughly enjoyed the realisation of how the new 'driver' was recruited.

As rare as the thing is the malkador despite its flaws ISNT and shouldn’t be something to take lightly, con’s that whilst it lacks the versatility and dependability of the more common leman Russ, favored due to its 360 turret as well as the ability to mount a wide array of weapons from the tank hunter with the vanquisher cannon, lascannon and multi melta to the more anti aircraft to anti light armor punisher with one heavy flamer and two heavy bolters and so on, but compared to the sheer firepower and armor of the malkador is second only to the true super heavy tanks like that of the bane blade, not to mention its rather unique and more rarer valdor tank hunter, which uses the rare and devastating laser destructor, the predecessor of the shadow sword and was capable of killing titans, all the way to the infernus which likes its tank hunter brother, uses titan grade weapons of the incinerator cannon used by warhound titants and used to flush out enemy infantry
