8th Ed. Hellcannon and Steam tanks

[newlmplayer]

Hey, I just wanted to know how you guys deal with steam tanks, hellcannons, and khorne cannons. So far I have thought about just sacrificing cohorts and trying to tar pit, any advice is welcome.

If impact hits are distributed as shooting, our new S7 krox in a cohort unit can soak up a lot of hits and beat a steam tank to death.

with the high magic lore attribute the steam tank won't be so dangerous: just swap a spell for searing doom and destroy it

Very much this.

Hell cannon is a bit of a tougher proposition. A Krox unit could do well but it is a matter of getting to it (since it will always be in a corner somewhere). You can try to poison it, but that won't go very well because it has a 4+/5++, along with the Dwarf Crew which can eat up some wounds.

Probably best bet is either Krox or Ancient Stegadon with Sharpened Horns.
