Battle Tanks are heavy armed and armoured vehicles designed to fight both infantry and vehicles/tanks. Quite often they have a rotating turret.

Construction

Imperial battle tanks are constructed on forge worlds, and most use designs that are thousands of years old. Other races have their own methods of construction. A notable race is the orks, who construct their tanks out of the wreckage of other races war machines.

Employment

Battle tanks are normally used to suppliment infantry actions, using their heavy weapons to wipe out troops and engage other vehicals. Sometimes battle tanks will be used alone, normally in conditions that an infantryman couldn't stand.
