Hi guys,
The debate rages about whether MI should have tanks or not, and neither side is giving way! Here is our current view;
The idea that the MI should be air mobile is most certainly correct, at least with Power Armour, Exosuit and Marauder Troopers - in many ways all three of these replace tanks any way, to one degree or another. So, no argument there.
The Light Armour guys are another matter, and it is at least conceivable that something like the proposed Gecko could be used. In terms of air mobility, it would be no different than a platoon (in that a Viking could carry either, with some adaptation), and it is not as if the Light Armour troopers have an excess of mobile strongpoints on the battlefield.
Only the idea that an alien race will come along in the future who use tanks above everything else is holding us back from this - that, and the fact the MI get a lot of 'goodies' already.
So, we'll see. Tanks are not going into the army lists just yet, for anyone.
