SteveAntilles Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 I need three. It's will be the main body of my Light Heavy Armoured Company. From Reddit: duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Hrmm... I need to see alternate paint schemes and angles I think... Don't care for the front stubbers and the Gatling cannon in the hull looks odd. The dual battle cannon I think looks the best. Not as bad as I feared it might be, I'll probably limit myself to one depending what FOC slot it occupies. Warhead01 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how consistent that actually is, especially with upscaled Cadians. Gives us a rough idea at least. Please post when the BB comparison shows up.

Hatches so far have been consistent and interchangable amongst all guard tanks. So far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emperor Ming Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) That pic makes it look similar size to the BB Edited October 24, 2022 by Emperor Ming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenScorpion Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Someone at GW seems to have a preference for disposable gunners. That poor guy in the back would need a lot of time to go inside the tank in case of a heavy attack. At least when the tank gets hit and catches fire the guy can evacuate the vehicle faster than the rest My guess would be that it would be something like a Macharius, given the weapons and the likely size of the vehicle, more powerful than the Leman Russ but not quite a baneblade (or variants).

Captain Caine 24th Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Exposed tracks have been on the guard wishlist for ages. Interesting, I suppose. I'm going to cover this thing with stowage and tank riders. This is going to be expensive for old captain caine. Didn't realize it could take 2 melta guns or headlights.

Harrowmaster Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Taking another look at it (especially in comparison to the BB), part of me thinks it would have just been better to put the macharius in plastic. duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImperialWarrior Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 It’s kinda hard to tell, but does the dude in the hatch of the lead tank look like he has bare muscly arms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least when the tank gets hit and catches fire the guy can evacuate the vehicle faster than the rest It mirrors the placement of the sherman 50cal then the guy on the back is would likely be infantry and not the tank crew. The actual 50cal on the sherman at the back was supposed to fulfill an AA role but by 1944 the allies had air superiority so the gun was used in a ground support role. So it does kinda make sense in that regard. MithrilForge 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValourousHeart Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Yep, that settles it. Need to replace that guy with a Commissar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrKoolPants Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Looks like a guard tank, and the kit is very magnet-friendly. Can’t wait to see the stats to see if I want 1 or 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamansky Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 (edited) I don't know why geedubs' designers are so itching to place a living warrior at every gun. Like those primaris landspeeder's turret, or that stationary gun with a damned full size spacemarine. Now this poor guy have to operate a damn stabber outside of the armour. Why don't they put a lousy servoskull like at Aegis' gun-placement or a servitor there?

Why don't they put a lousy servoskull like at Aegis' gun-placement or a servitor there? They are just copying standard US WWII tank design. It's not that big of a deal for two reasons. 1: it's man'd by a disposable guardsmen. 2: "Usually" the turret is between the guy and the enemy giving him fairly good cover. There are famous cases like with Leon Murphy where they held off entire groups of enemy's with a back turret mounted machine gun. Asteticaly I hate it like I hate helmitless SMs tho.

duz_ Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 For the me the absurdity of it all is very 40k and one of my favourite parts of the model I'll have to see if I can find a VM model somewhere in my collection that I can pose on the gun with. I'm assuming I'll have to make some modifications to account for the new gargantuan guardsmen figures... Emperor Ming 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave to Darkness Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 I just had a thought, if the Cadians are bigger would the tank hatches be bigger as well? That could make the Dorn larger than in the comparison image with the Russ. ImperialWarrior 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
