Nifty looking!

Hopefully, that turret weapon will be swappable! Secret Weapon really looks to be picking up their game lately. Very nice stuff!

Valete,

**Mad4Minis**

That is sweet. Dont really think I have a actual use for it...but then again thats rarely stopped me before...

**glon52**

I'd use them for Hellhounds

**ceorron**

Yeah very good, I like the rugged all terrain, armoured vehicle look. Looks brutal and durable like a tank but fast like a car or buggy.

**grey_death**

There are a lot of great details all over it. It's very very functional looking with almost every added detail looking to serve a purpose. That's what a lot of the sci-fi kits are missing these days. Being an old tread head in the army I can look at something like that render and see what's going on, how it would work, and the things I would hit my friggin head on if I were to crew it.

Make a good Baal too..

**Warmastersolon**

Sweet kit . . .

**BrookM**

I think I've found some good replacement Chimeras should some donkey-cave ground my Elysians again.

**Ouze**

Hmm. I don't know what army I can use them for, but I absolutely must have some. God that's awesome looking.

**Breotan**

Resin, I assume?

**SeverePatronage**

Want. I just scratched a turret like that main gun, and now I want to redo it. Just want.

**CT GAMER**

looks cool

**Zefig**

Whoa, that's really awesome. I'm assuming it'd be about chimera sized, eh? When I eventually get around to starting a guard army, I think I'll have to look them up.

**Breotan**

Too modern for IG, except perhaps Elysians. Would make a neat Razorback though. It could also work as a Predator but you'd have to rethink how sponson weapons would be attached.

**Delephont**

Is this supposed to be remote controlled? I can't see where the crew gets in and out

Edit# I guess they could use the Top Hatch.....a little bit of a squeeze, but possible

**SkaerKrow**

It's neat, but I really don't like the shape of the front of the hull. The random backwards horseshoe thing just doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the model, and it does nothing for the kit's otherwise abundant visual interest.

There is a Commanders hatch, loaders hatch and drivers hatch. Turret has to swivel for the driver to hop in, but it's not much different than the Abrams where if it's turned the wrong way, the driver is trapped

Close quarters is usually the name of the game for tank and APC crew. You really get to know someone too well when you're that close to them....

**ph34r**

It looks really good.

**Byte**

Very cool. I could find a use for that.

**insaniak**

Love it. Nice attention to detail, and a cool looking, rugged vehicle.

Here's hoping it turns out as nice as the renders...

**Kroothawk**

They decided to post the render because Beast of War posted a painted (computer) pic a day before:

**General Seric**

This looks pretty cool, though the turret looks kind of big for it in the first pictures.

**Kroothawk**

Guess it is inspired by the British Saladin tank:

**grey_death**

Much less a tank than a turret with wheels that Saladin

Not that it's a bad thing!

**megatrons2nd**

And here I thought the Saladin was a hover tank.

+1

I love the functional look. That actually looks like something I wish I'd had in Iraq.

Disagree.

Perfect for IG. Don't fit the SM look at all imho...

Valete,

Those look terrific! Best non-GW 40K type models I've seen in a long time.

**Salacious Greed**

Boo-ya! Like the front end on the painted cgi much better. Can't wait to see this in resin!

Greed

**Brunius**

That looks pretty sweet. Looks like I've found a counts-as Hellhound
