Subject: Look! I found an Imperial Truck at Walmart!
So, I'm leaving Walmart, when I'm pulling through the parking lot and spot this....
I thought, ugh, that is hideous.
"Looks like it could be the love child of a Tau Devilfish and an Eldar Wave Serpent," I thought, snickering to myself... enjoying my nerdness.
Then I got closer......
and spot this.
My jaw drops. I'm blown away.
Then I look around for anyone who may have just witnessed my nerdgasm. Luckily, there is no one.
In one fail swoop, this truck has gone from hideous to total awesomeness.
I don't know if I want an autograph from this guy or to make an offer on this truck. It takes serious testes to do this. I've always considered myself a closet nerd, but this guy drives a billboard.
I mean who needs a bumper... The Aquila hood (bonnet for your brits) is indestructible.
My only question is why does he have this.
I think he should have the symbol of the Empire rather than the Rebel Alliance, but that's just me. I'm still loving the cross advertising and total nerd abandon.
This has made my day. Heck, my week.
My nerd heart smiles.
Discuss.

Unfortunately, that's the older model and it only has one access point and no firepoints.
In the dark future, there are skulls for everyone. But only the bad guys get spikes. And rivets for all, apparently welding was lost in the Dark Age of Technology. -from C.Borer

i played a guy last year who is active duty military and he needed a way to tell the afghan militia technicals/trucks he worked with apart... so being a 40kDA player, he decided to mark them with dark angel ravenwing iconography! pretty sweet! the muslims liked the whole classic winged sword motiff and he could tell who was where at a glance.

Hah, that's awesome. Unfortunately all my friends that are overseas right now don't play Warhammer so they won't be able to do that to any vehicles, haha.
Also, I have a Chaos Star on my right shoulder. It's in my gallery for all to see! (note that picture was taken literally right after it was done, by the artist. I should take an updated one)

It's cool and all, but it still doesn't look like ten space marines could fit in it.
Do you think 10 fully armored marines (even at their non 'true scale' size) could fit in the GW rhino, I think not. All APCs (and nearly all vehicles for that matter) are about 30% smaller than they should be.

And heaven forbid if the Marine would also happen to have an intimidating looking, vertical scar. Then you're surly boned. Those guys are the worst. Not a chance I'd say.

quick e-mail the picture to GW so they can sue the afghan milita for copyright infringement

Yeah there are laws about putting spikes and things on cars, at least the fronts of them.
Now a big claw/stinger growing out of your car would be pimp.
Now that I think of it my car is a follower of nurgle, yeah thats why it is rusting.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Now that I look at the original truck again maybe he uses it to prime his 3up models. It kind of looks like my primeing box.

Can't remember where I heard this,maybe it was some guy's signature on Warseer.
Hmm, well maybe I can throw some chains on it. Or....carve a space marine helmet out of wood and stick it on the antennae
