I don't see how you can field 3 of these and keep your friends (unless they field the equivalent number of Star Dragons;Y) |
Honestly, as long as one of his friends is Dwarves its all fair in love and war. Dwarf cannons can pound the crap out of a steam tank easily, and when you add in their bolt throwers it can get pretty vicious. Also if ever an empire player runs into a Dwarf lord in a unit of Hammers kiss that Tank good buy. When facing the multiple steam tank lists, i usuall bring the lord on a shield who has a greatweapon which is str 6, that can cause D6 wounds. With a little luck you can pull that steam tank down in 2 turns.
Orcs deal with stanks just as easily. A little magic plus some magic items and the steam tanks usually drop pretty quick, add bolt throwers and DOW cannons and its pretty entertaining. A good warpath will hit 2 tanks for D6 Str 6, each. I've even managed to headbut a couple tanks with str 5 hits that ignore armor saves.
Remember you don't have to kill them, just make it so the empire player is afraid to use them as they could blow up
