This is actually hilariously unwise. The model in question makes one attack, which may only hit on a dice roll of a 6. In most cases any model you wish to waste with this would only penetrate that tank on another 6, and at least a 4 or higher to not die. It's effectively a 1 in 72 chance of succeeding. The reason no model with a higher chance of actually destroying the tank is used is if you roll anything but a 6 on the "to hit" try, the model gets killed outright, even if it was a 20 foot tall monster.
When did that change? I'd have sworn the model gets an automatic hit with any one weapon against the front armor? Meaning that a melta or powerfist armed model is very good choice for this.
Why is Warhammer 40k the trope namer, when the mechanic in 40k was named in reference to Death or Glory, a song by the Clash.
