Unit Review: Rogal Dorn Battle Tank - 10th Edition Index 

This tank is just beautiful. I got one for my birthday and I just got the Cadian Defense Force. 3 Dorns + TC with Grand Strategist = 1,000 points

Awesome, I do like that these unit Reviews are less « competitive edge » style and more like « Things I like about this unit ». Instead of saying « you should take this and never this » it’s more like « if you want this model, this is why it’s a cool idea, and here is how you can use it »!

Just bought my first set of the cadian defense force. Watched your magnetising infantry and this video. You’ve already been a great help! Thank you 😊

I just got a rogal dorn and I'm excited to put it together!

I have loved the three videos on the rogal dorm, thanks!

I played warhammer like 25 years ago when I was young. Have the itch to give it a try again and have my eye on the imperial guard. I see the combat patrol for $136 online, seems decent. Recommend one of those and a tank or ? Maybe 1k points is my goal. I believe you get the codex buying one of those. I’m a finance nerd so trying to maximize spend and value returned is in my mind. Hey if you have an intro to imperial guard, my bad info didn’t see the video and I can watch that. Army looks incredible and your public speaking is great, good job! Thank you.

Idk, call me old but I think the basic Russ with battle cannon is still better

Great review and amazing looking paint jobs on them. I love the Dorn. It’s such a durable, intimidating and effective unit. I always try to get orders on my biggest units like Dorns and Baneblades because it feels so rubbish to miss with the biggest guns. Also, BS4+ is so susceptible to -1 to hit. Favourite load out is Oppressor, autocannon, pulveriser, triple heavy stubber and 2 multi meltas. Meltaguns feel just a little too short range and get the Dorn danger close and I love 18 shots from Stubbers from up to 18” away

Making a 2k list once I finish up more Black Templars. 2xDorns, 1xShadowsword, then some Officers+Infantry, mostly 60xKrieg, some HWTs, some Scions. But I got some Cadians from that Christmas box. So I went and grabbed Usurla and Leontus to finish the list. So I'll be able to go, many small squads, squads with HWTs, or large resilient squads. We'll see which goes best with the three juggernauts.

Years ago I fan-made a Leman Russ variant I called the Leman 34 & this looks like it was inspired by my idea. It had an oppressor cannon, pulverizer cannon, a mounted stubber & lasgun on top, then it's side arms were a combo of lascannon on top & Gatling gun below it. My idea Rogal Dorn tank would have a single oppressor cannon in the middle like a trad tank, a pulverizer cannon, stubbers, on top would be the mounted stubber then add a mounted lasgun for the other nest, then it's side arms would be lascannons with grenade launchers. I could see this being a popular tank even in an alt timeline where the Horus Heresy never happened. I also have never played the game.

Great review, and beautiful tanks! Instead of the castigator gatling cannon I take the pulverizer cannon but swap the hull mounted meltas with the heavy stubbers. Its easier to roll 3 stubbers than a single stubber and then the castigator. Plus overall it gives you more damage vs elites and light vehicles at longer ranges while still keeping similar anti infantry damage up to 18". The regular meltas are in my experience too short ranged.

Amazing paint jobs!

Love this series

great paint job again, it's sad everyone and his mom knows only use opressor cannon in 10th edition .

So with ablative plating… what if you are hit with a D6+3 attack weapon, such as a demolisher cannon and they get 4 unsaved wounds. Do you only reduce the damage profile of 1 of those wounds, or all of them?

a classic 40k tank, with more so many guns you could not physically fit enough ammunition in the thing to keep it going for any length of time lol.

Dem paintjobs be lookin gorgeous

That is a neat looking tank. Do the opponents of the Astra Militarium tank them for the fun?

I think 3 heavy stubers with 3 attacks each at rapid fire 3 is 27 shots ??? Am I wrong.

Where are the stats??

The latest designers have zero idea. Tell a 5 year old to stick guns on a tank and here we are. No idea how they fit the breech, the loader, the ammo, etc. It makes WH dumb. Might as well make a dragon with flames that come out of its feet and elbows while you are at it.

I actually just used my Rogal Dorn to run down a horde of Orks and steal an objective from them!
