( in a tank battle i'd take an ig vanquisher over a terminus raider). in general, i think IG tanks are better, its just that they're crewed by guardsmen, while space marine tanks are crewed by space marines. The Chimera has excellent transport capabilities(can transport termies), simi-decent armor, and enough heavy weapons to make most infantry think twice before leaving cover. The hellhound shoots a flame template. the basilisk lobs a pie plate almost wherever it wants. Space marines don't have much to compete. the only space marine vehicle I'm envious of is the land speeder.

I suppose the space marine vehicles may do better sometimes because lascannon are more effective when they hit stuff.
