The Macharius Vanquisher is armed with twin-linked [[Vanquisher Cannon]]s in the main turret. While rarer and harder to manufacture than battle cannons, they are capable of using special anti-tank shells in addition to normal munitions. Fired at very high velocities, the anti-tank shells can penetrate even the thickest of armor, turning this variant into a potent tank hunter. The Macharius Vanquisher features the same secondary weapons as the original with the ability to mount an additional pintle weapon and/or hunter-killer missile.

In contrast to its counterpart, the [[Malcador Annihilator|Malcador Annihilator]], the Macharius Vanquisher is superior in almost every way. Even though the Malcador has that sweet ass twin-linked Lascannons, its unreliable engine, underwhelming armor, lack of a proper turret and disappointing side weaponry means that pound for pound, the Macharius Vanquisher offers more bang for your buck without the hassle of being immobilized because of [[Bullshit|''reasons''.]]

Out of all the Macharius tanks, this is possibly one of the most popular due to the power of the Vanquisher Cannons and the fact that it is a heavy tank which means it is far more sturdier than the common [[Leman Russ Vanquisher]] which is important since these big ass vehicles are going to be a giant bullet magnet on tabletop.

The Macharius equivalent of the Leman Russ Vanquisher. When you want a Macharius, this is the one you want 60% of the time. While the Russ's [[Imperial Ordnance#Vanquisher Cannon|Vanquisher Cannon]] is a pure tank hunter (no blast), the Macharius takes this to an extreme. Its double barreled Vanquisher Cannon expresses this, spitting out two shots at a mindboggling strength of 16, enough to wound anything save for Titans, buildings, and units with special rules on a 2+, AP-4, and D9. '''D9.''' This is enough to sink a Wraithseer...in one shot. The big rape cannon, as if it wasn't good enough, adds 1 to hit rolls against {{W40kKeyword|MONSTERS}} and {{W40kKeyword|VEHICLES}}.

Its also the most unquestionably sexy of all the variants.
