Posted a few funky WWII armored cars. They're 1:43 die cast cars by a company called Eaglemoss (who also do a great line of Batmobiles and Star Trek ships if that's something you'd like).







Apparently they're pretty cheap in the UK, 5UKP, in the US I found a site with them for $20, or y'know, less than half the cost of a Taurox.

Looking at their stuff I see a lot of potentially useful vehicles.

At 1:43 they'll be a bit smaller than GW's oversized offerings but should be about right for civilian vehicles and terrain.



A damn near perfect armored limo.



Truck, van, APC, maybe even an alternate Taurox.



I love this truck, it's just odd enough so it won't stand out as a historical vehicle on the grim dark battle fields of the 41st millennium.



And this puppy, this puppy is just about perfect for an IG logistics vehicle. I'm about half a minute from buying 3 of them.



This stretched jeep is another odd vehicle that I can imagine being parked in an Imperial city.



Salamander?



Alternate Leman Russ tanks? Probably too small but can be an inferior PDF tank or maybe a predator.



Salamander?



Chimera?





Good for scout cars or trucks.



Wyvern or some jerry rigged cult or PDF weapon? Orks maybe?



A good bit of terrain or an objective.

Anyway hope this inspires some ideas for modellers or gamers.
