Malcador Annihilator

The Malcador tanks are not widely used by Imperial armed forces at the present time, due to Leman Russ being more reliable and well rounded design. Most Malcadors that remain in the Emperor of Mankind's service have been relegated to the Departmento Munitorum's strategic reserve, to the arsenals of Planetary Defence Forces or are maintained in active service only by a few units of the Astra Militarum.

The Malcador Annihilator was originally conceived as a field modification carried out on battle-damaged or unfinished production hulls intended to "up-gun" the tank's weaponry and extend its battlefield utility. Unfortunately the tank is too slow and too large to serve as a true "tank hunter" but is not large enough or heavily armed enough (due to the limited supply of shells for its Demolisher Cannon) to be matched against a true super-heavy tank in open combat.
