We had the Leman Russ tank, and Leman Russ, quite frankly, isn't my favorite Primarch. I love tanks, though, so it doesn't really matter. That said, the Rogal Dorn tank looks really cool and I might get one. I'm a little disappointed there isn't a plasma option, but you can't have everything in life, eh?
There are several options - you have have twin-linked battle cannons or you can have an oppressor cannon and an autocannon. I probably prefer the oppressor cannon, though I wish we have plasma.
You can also have a castigator gatling cannon or a pulverizer cannon on the hull. I almost though that was a demolisher cannon when I first saw it, but I guess the Rogal Dorn tank is one step down from a Baneblade, so...yeah. It's totally fine. You can also have meltaguns or heavy stubbers, as well as heavy bolter or multimelta sponsons.
I'm not sure I like the idea of a pintle-mounted heavy stubber or bolter, though. Imagine swinging it around to shoot and accidentally hitting your commander or fellow tanker in the cupolas with the barrel - or worse, a hail of mass reactive rounds. Ouch. That's pretty dangerous, and I think firing right next to the commander is gonna make him deaf. The other options are cool too.
I might just get one for my armored company, for collection sake, or maybe I will wait and see if they will ever come up with a plasma option. I doubt it, but hey, we will see. Oh, and will we get to use the Rogal Dorn tank in the Horus Heresy? That will be cool. But if we don't, then oh, well. Speaking of which, Rogal Dorn is one of my more favorite Primarchs, so I'm glad we have a tank named after him. Leman Russ isn't, and I have a bunch of those tanks, so I'll definitely get a Rogal Dorn tank someday.
Looking forward to the new Imperial Guard codex! Ahem, I mean Astra Militarum.
