Tank Destroyers are Tanks developed specifically to destroy other tanks.

Construction

Tank Destroyers are commonly constructed with thicker armor than other tanks. The Destroyer Tank Hunter has much thinker armor than the Leman Russ it was based off of, and the Hammerhead has much thicker armor than the Devilfish it was based off of. Their weapons are also commonly more powerful than the base vehicle, as is the case with the Land Raider Terminus. ...

Employment

Tank Destroyers are either used to ambush enemy tanks, as is the case with Tau Piranhas when armed with fusion blasters, or used to annihilate enemy vehicles from afar, as is the case with the Eldar Fire Prism.

Tank Destroyer Types

Note that this list does not include Super Heavy Tanks or Heavy Tanks as they have their own lists, being of a size variant rather than a use variant.
