I quite like the look of it. Different enough but keeping the Imperial style.

It looks awesome. Love all the ww2 allied tank vibes.

[USNCenturion]

Really like that tank. 

[MedicMike0708]

Strength 10 hit to my wallet, no saving throw allowed. 
 

very nice. 

[Brother Captain Arkley]

Tanktastic.

Interested to see size comparison pics. Not a fan at all of the Track Design. I wonder if Macharius Tracks would fit.

[Iron Lord]

Looks nice - a little like the Malcador crossed with the regular Leman Russ.

 

A few subtle details evoking the plastic Baneblade too - like the  pointy arches enclosing the lights.

[SteveAntilles]

I need three please.

[Marshal Reinhard]

I'm very much liking this. It's both keeping with traditional IG tank design yet feels like a breath of fresh air, same as the new cadians do vs the old.

 

It also has a superior name

Looks like someone mixed a Matilda with a Sherman and then added some Leman Russ bits on top.

 

 

[RedFox]

Not sure about the external gunner but he seems optional

 

other than that it's pretty much perfect imo

[Handsome Fred]

 

Can't unsee

[Elzender]

I kinda like it, although as the4thhorseman says, I am not a big fan of the angled tracks on the top side. Does anybody more knowledgeable about tanks know if that serves any particular purpose? 

 

It seems to be around macharius size, but is it me or it is more heavily armed than a baneblade? 

[Robbienw]

Its nice, I like it.  Feels more WW2 than WW1 inspired.  The two stubber or melta guns at the front dont quite look right, but it there is an option to have headlight there instead so not a problem.

 

HOWEVER.............its not even half as cool as the Macharius

Less Sherman and more M6 heavy Tank.

[Petitioner's City]

The one in crimson we saw behind the castellan might have been a better scheme. It feels very Sherman to me, or as one friend said, a Pershing. 

 

I do like how this and the new sentinel have a 1940s/50s us "real world military" aesthetic that feels like the less fancy cousin to the 1940s/1950s/60s sci-fi aesthetics of the ad mech.

[Triszin]

Not a fan

[Ramell]

Looks like a properly rebooted Leman Russ that fits in very well with the new IG range. Exactly what I think it should be.  I love the heavy stubber on the turret. 

[Glute]

More plastic crack to feed the addiction.   I'm sure I'll pick up one.   But I worry it will become another shelf queen.

[Evil Eye]

Huh, looks like I posted just as the threads got merged, whoops!

 

Anyway. I like a lot about it- hull punisher cannon is a MOOD- but it does seem a bit strange next to other IG tanks. Not the worst thing in the world, and given how many different patterns of Leman Russ alone there are (just look at FW's old LR conversion kits) I can get behind it, but between how oddly WW2 it is compared to the WW1/interwar look of most IG vehicles and the fact it's the ONLY IG tank with visible suspension, it kinda gives me the vibe of a really well done 3D printed fan design.

 

I don't hate it, and I look forward to seeing it done in less "modern 'eavy metal" paintjobs. But if I get one for traitor guard/GSC I'll be putting some skirt armor on it.

[Lord Marshal]

I don't... dislike it, but it doesn't beat out the Leman Russ, Malcador or Macharius for me. 

[Fire Golem]

I like it. I thought it was a redone Leman Russ for a second (and was quite excited), took a minute for the larger scale to sink in.

I see it.
