'''Tankbustas''' are a specialist [[Ork]] warriors who are fixated with the undeniable thrill of scoring a direct hit on an enemy tank. The elation they feel has a primal heritage, similar to the thrill a [[Feral Ork]] would feel when they killed a rampaging [[Squiggoth]]. Orks that fancy this kind of thrill often gather together, forming mobs of Tankbustas. Tankbustas who prove especially adept at destroying enemy vehicles from a distance enjoy the fame of a big game hunter and will often attract a retinue of aspirants, who have yet to blow up their first tank. A Tankbusta who succeeded in skoring his first confirmed kill enjoys getting 'tanked up' after the batttle, a ritual that includes devouring tank's crew and drinking engine oil from its smoking remains.{{Fn|1}}
