which do you think better as an alternate lerman russ

Hmm, tough one. I'm gonna go with one.

Neither. I like the Leman Russ as it is.

That's hardly the question though, is it?

Sure, But i'm just stating that I like the original over the two real world tanks he decided to put up as a better alternative.

Yeah, and I'm just stating that your opinion on the existing leman russ is irrelevant.

#2

I think 2 as well

Agreed two is best.

just wondering what makes it more apealing

i do think that the turet on #1 would be a good hell hound turret

#2 its got a bigger gun

what is the top one ? A Leopard ??

Number two, because its a bit bulkier with straight armor plates.

Looks like a Merkava to me (maybe even a mk2). Very distinctive turret shape.

What's #2? Challenger 2?

I'd go with #2. Has the blockhead shape more readily associated with 40k.

1: Merkava Mk2
2: Challenger 1

I think the Merkava would be a better Russ shape.

I say number 2 due to the more pronounced details on it. It looks more boxy and "Imperial Guard" than the other one.

2
I'm not really 100% familiar with the models, but when I first saw it I thought it already was an Imperial Guard tank

number 1 is cooler looking, but I think 2 goes better with the blocky looking leman russ look.

I would say #2. It's bulky enough to be reminiscent of the current LR model.

Actually I think a better alternative would be a WW2 tank. The Soviet tanks such as the Large Turret KV2, the regular KV2 or KV1 or even a JS2 are all excellent choices or the British tanks such as the Cromwell Mark IV, Centaur Mark IV or Crusader Mark III are all also good choices and fit better with the GW style. The newer medel tanks do not really fit in with the look and style of GW with a larger, somewhat chunkier style. Using the WW2 tanks above you get a much better looking vehicle that while still a bit bulkier is not ridiculous looking like the GW Leman Russ.

yhea i can see whta you meen and if i did do ww2 style i would use a churchil with a modified gun but i want my army to have a modern feel

but were do i stick the eagle on the chalenger

i think no1 turret world look good as a hellhoung turret but not on a chimra hull
