Different enough but keeping the Imperial style.

The4thHorseman Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Interested to see size comparison pics. Not a fan at all of the Track Design. I wonder if Macharius Tracks would fit. Aarik 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Lord Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Reinhard Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 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 MithrilForge, Ramell and Brother Borgia 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mecanojavi99 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Looks like someone mixed a Matilda with a Sherman and then added some Leman Russ bits on top.

RedFox Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Not sure about the external gunner but he seems optional other than that it's pretty much perfect imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elzender Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 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 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 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 SteveAntilles, beefeb and Castle Wolfenstein 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petitioner's City Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 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.

Ramell Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glute Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 More plastic crack to feed the addiction. I'm sure I'll pick up one. But I worry it will become another shelf queen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Eye Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 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 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 I don't... dislike it, but it doesn't beat out the Leman Russ, Malcador or Macharius for me. duz_ and Cpt_Reaper 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWJP Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 I feel like this is a bit of a miss... Those wheels look horrendous, although the track guards help a bit. It seems to have caught "Primaris disease" with just a few too many guns. The silly hull mounted stubbers are just pointless.
