==Description and Abilities==
The elation Tankbustas 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}}
====Sub-Types====
*'''Tankbusta Gunner''' - Part of [[Wrecka Krew]]s and equipped with a [['Eavy Rokkit Launcha]].{{Fn|7b}}
*'''Tankbusta Rokkiteer''' - Part of [[Wrecka Krew]]s. Unsatisfied with standard [[Rokkit Launcha]]s, they upgrade their weaponry in the form of Rokkit racks and [[Pulsa Rokkit]]s.{{Fn|7a}}
