Tarrakk Blackhand:

Hazkar:

. I wish the money spent in building it went to lowering prices of models and the new DoW game.. :( But thats me..

Or funding the Chaos Dwarf project. ;)

Kera foehunter:

lets see it cross a river !!! my car can go thew a mud hole like that

two_heads_talking:

i posted this earlier, I’ll try again.

some rhino, that thing certainly had a hard time dealing with that car. NO stormbolters and that space marine has some odd armor…

it’s nice in an odd way, but I’d hate to pay for gas…

Tarrakk Blackhand:

I always thought these tanks were based off WWI tanks that had the treads that went around the bodies.



British MK-1 `1916

Swissdictator:

When I want to see armor causing mayhem I’ll go to a local WWII re-enactment. :stuck_out_tongue:

Tarrakk Blackhand:

Or a Disco Party featuring guys dressed in the ol’ Kiss outfits Cira 1974.

GW's part in building it was slightly over exageratted apparently, and throw as much money as you want at it, but you're not going to get a good game with DoW2 graphics out quickly.

Khan!:

Huh. Well that just made my evening! I like the bit where it crushed things. Excellent work, rhino. Shame about the whole offroad bit though.

GRNDL:

Also, the advertisement budget that included this was probably mitigated over three WH40k projects: DoW2, the 40k MMO and the brawler that was leaked late last year. That being said, the price of customizing this would not have even made a dent on the price of your models or new armies…

Tarrakk Blackhand:

Ahhh…so THIS is why the price of metal mini’s went up! LOL!

Where do you think they got the idea for it, eh?
Same as the Rhino... and I saw a vehicles somewhere that was a dead ringer for the Predator... I think it was a Challenger, though not sure.

Godbob and his jolly rogers:

You see that why were not winning the war in the east because we don’t have tanks like that now all we need is to create a lascannon and were finished:P

Hammerhand:

Being as its based off of a  British FV432 APC.. which is currently 47 years old and been out of service for over 30

Servius
The 432 (or "pac") is still in service.

The proportions are total boo-hockey(a slave if you spot the reference

True. All those AT-ATs. However I know you can order a T-34 and between cost and shipping it is less then $100,000 US. Would that suffice? Who knows maybe it will even be a T-34/85 (If I'm remembering the numbers correctly)
