Master Antaeus Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 On a long road trip, a friend and I were debating which 40k armies were most like the cars we saw. Here is what we determined: All Space Marines: Ford f150 You can buy these endlessly configurable trucks to go fast, commute, haul, rescue, whatever you want. Are there other vehicles that do it better? Probably. Chaos Space Marines: Dodge Ram chassis 1500. Less reliable than the f150 and a lot more likely to be stolen, but the Ram is also known to be less utilitarian and more lifestyle. Custodes: Mercedes G36 6x6 Cool? Yeah. Outlandish? Yeah. Unnecessary and luxurious? Yeah! Like Custodes, you will feel like an asshat every time you damage it. Eldar: Lamborghini Aventador Slick, stylish and fast; the Eldar player craves speed but also creature comforts and safety features, though they're mostly for show. Dark Eldar: MTT Y2k Superbike For those who want speed with all the safety and assist turned off. Like the army, this bike wants more than anything to kill its owner in spectacular fashion. Stay tuned for part 2. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/372829-40k-factions-as-cars-part-1/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulf Vengis Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Corvette Stingray = Eldar (fast/sleek/classic) Humvee = Space Marines (average speed/durable/powerful/highly modifiable) Racing motorcycles = Dark Eldar (fast/nimble/dangerous to ride) Tesla = Tau (highly advanced/can be fast like Eldar or tough like marines) The Junker = Orks (any rust bucket on the road that looks like it should be In the scrap yard) Ford Mustang = Khorne Berserkers (my brain keeps telling me this is right, I'm not sure why) Dodge Charger = Blood Angels (like the Berserkers my brain just says this is correct with no justification) Black Ford Crown Victoria = Inquisition Every other vehicle on the road = Imperial Guard Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/372829-40k-factions-as-cars-part-1/#findComment-5779829 Share on other sites More sharing options...
