Changes

The Vanquisher was primarily built on [[Forge World]] [[Tigrus]] until it was overrun by the [[Ork]] [[Warboss|Warlord]] [[Arrgard the Defiler]] in [[M35]], resulting in the number of remaining Vanquishers reserved only for experienced tank crews. With the loss of Tigrus the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] made strenuous efforts to reproduce the tank's specialised cannon, selecting a number of Forge Worlds known for their craftsmanship and devotion to the [[Machine God]] to spearhead the effort. While the process was slow and with limited success two Forge Worlds — [[Gryphonne IV]] and [[Stygies VIII]] — have succeeded in producing their own version of the Vanquisher while several other worlds continue their work. A small but increasing number of Vanquishers produced by Gryphonne IV and Stygies VIII have been used to equipped [[Imperial Guard]] [[regiment]]s, however both jealously guard their secrets and have not allowed any comparative tests to take place.{{Fn|1a}} Vanquishers have also been produced on [[Ryza]] for hundreds of years.{{Fn|10}} Only those tank crews that demonstrated they can perform their duty against the most heavily armoured enemies, may receive the Vanquisher as their new battle tank.{{Fn|5a}}
