As much as the Chimera is well equipped with advanced cybernetic, biological, and psionic technology, the other end of the spectrum is just a ravaging horde of crude monstrosities with limited access to advanced weapons. Lasher Light Tanks aren't that fancy at all. Haphazardly built combat vehicles with an emphasis on speed, Lashers are otherwise cheap to build en masses and are armed with powerful 90mm anti-tank guns which can easily tear through heavy armour. Not even the Soviet's mighty Apocalypse Tank is safe from these quick, hard-hitting tanks. Being effectively built from cheap materials scavenged from the battlefield, Lashers are most dangerous when flanking as keeping still will leave them vulnerable to even the weakest anti-tank weaponry given their cheap armour. Being specialized in destroying enemy armour also means that it is ineffective at dealing with structures and infantry, though the latter case is remedied by a set of menacing spikes on the front end...
