if it's real, that would be awesome. since i found the pic yesterday online, i'm not sure how authentic it is. i know that GW commissioned a real lifesize working rhino but i hadn't heard anything about this.

As cool as it is, my money's on fake. The details are far too similar to the model for it to be real. And the lighting seems a bit off. Still awesome though. It should go in the warhammer humor thread.

Most likely fake, if it was real we would have heard about it somewhere (I'm looking at you Bell of Lost Souls), still, would be damn cool though!

It's a shop. I can tell by the pixels and having seen a few in my time.

Anyone who uses WAU should get that...

But yeah, my money's on fake

Yep fake - painting uses the usual techniques and the focus (top of engine) is out compared to the background. Is well done though and would be cool!

Best, shop job, ever. Simply cos it looks so cool.

Great pic. Another reason you can tell its fake is cos its painted like a model and not like a real life vehicle. Good work though.

Its an ok shop job, allthough if they removed all the heavy drybrushing effects from it then it would look better

I know the guy who built that and it is awesome. it uses the Rolls Royce engines from a surplus Harrier and mounts a 50 cal in the nose.

The 'heavy dry brushing' was deliberate to make it look like a GW model, just like the oversized weapons.

In fact it's hovering outside my window now.

Look at your comment, now back to mine. Now back at your comment now back to mine Sadly it isn't mine, but if you stopped trolling & started posting legitimate comments it could look like mine. Look down, back up, where are you? You're scrolling through comments, writing the comment your comment could look like. What did you post? Back at mine, it's a reply saying something you want to hear. Look again the reply is now diamonds. Anything is possible with legit comments. I'm on a chair

Fake because the light is the wrong angle on the model compared to the guy and the car. Nicely done though.

I heard it's part of General Motors restructureing plan, they are gonna try and capture the gamer market by makeing functioning replicas of GW vehicles. The land raider is gonna be the next big thing for the suv market. I'm still not impressed as it only gets 21 mpg on the highway.

The the botched tail shadow and lighting differences are a dead giveaway.

Pretty picture though, I'd buy one to skip Atlanta traffic.

VERY cool but fake cause it still has the pilot models, the paint job and the tail shadow
it would be awsome if it was real
If General Motors was making one or a land raider that woulb be f***ing awsome but probably not true!

The Emperor doesn't seem to do much for you but you sure are expected to be mutilated, suffer, and die to make him happy. And is he dead or what? If he's entombed that would mean he's dead as a doornail, right? So, how can he be happy about anything you do, or even give orders to anyone? Are you worshipping the dead now? Is that something you'd really want to do? Because it sounds freaking creepy to me.
