2.5/5 stars. rounded down. More tanks! But they're not quite worth the points cost.
Background.
Medusas? Basiliks? Sure, that's the name you give to tanks when you have ran out of famous primarchs. Clearly the Angron and the Sanguinius tanks never made it beyond mechanicum testing zones.
Strengths.
The main weapons on these tanks are the earth shaker cannon and the medusa mortar. Both are okay, with the medusa probably being slightly better out of the two.
Pintles are available along with extra tanks here to make up a full squadron of three.
Weaknesses.
There's really not much to write home about here overall. The points cost is just not really justified to my mind when there are other tanks to invest in. That said, they are nice artillery tanks and look good on the battlefield when massed in number and I do like that aesthetic.
Builds.
Medusa with hunter killer mission (210 points).
Nothing wrong with the medusa mechanically, but the points cost isn't right.
Basilisk with pintle multi-laser (210 points).
Not worth the points cost here in my opinion.
