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.

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 SickSix and calgar101 1 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/372829-40k-factions-as-cars-part-1/#findComment-5779829 Share on other sites More sharing options...

iparonadadu03 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 (edited) Mapping Warhammer 40k factions to cars is such a fun idea, and honestly it fits surprisingly well once you think about each faction’s personality and battlefield role. Space Marines as reliable performance machines and Orks as chaotic, overbuilt monsters make perfect sense. If you’re into cars like this, checking out AutobidMaster repo cars delaware is worth it, especially their USA locations page where you can browse real vehicles that match these vibes. Really adds a cool real-world twist to the concept overall experience.

Magos Takatus Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 (edited) Grey Knights seems pretty clear to me: No idea what I'd put for Admech. It's got to be an old car with more tech stuck to it than there has any right to be. The Delorean from Back from the Future? :p I gather the assignment was for models of cars rather than unique, specific cars, but I couldn't resist.

Or, if in the UK, a blacked out 80s Ford Capri with the go-fasta stripes.
