Default steam tanks

are steam tanks worth the 300pts when a giant is only 205pts there both just as dangerous to themselves.

because, while giants are well 'ard, a steam tank is harder than a metal box full of diamond coated coffin nails!

the strength and toughness are comparable but the tank has more wounds and can do WAY more damage to opponents in both shooting and combat phases as it carries a cannon and causes nothing but impact hits in combat (upto 15 s6 hits!)

yeah but it could blow up even if you just want to move it the giant will only fall over in combat or when it moves throught certain terrain

Well at full wounds with a steam tank you can always use 4 steam points without any risk as you will always roll under or equal to 10. So with a cannon, steam gun, 10 wounds, 1+ save, immunity to magic(except strenght based spells), the ability to shoot while in combat and the sheer psychological effect on your opponent i would say that its worth it.
