Without the side weapons, I'm just not thinking Predator. Have to go with Razorback even if the turret is a bit larger.

How about some more Ork Looted vehicles...

From the show Weaponizers - the one on the left is armed with a .30cal machine gun and 2 semi-auto shotguns (all remote controlled) and the one on the right is just a big rolling bomb.

Somewhere in south-central England.

The "Predator" up top is an M113 with a Scorpion tank turret on, made by the Australians.

They made a similar vehicle during the Vietnam War, using an M113 and a Saladin armoured car turret.

The Rhino in the Dawn of War video could be an FV432 or FV103 underneath the body shell.

Although the Sherman is also quite obviously the inspiration for the Leman Russ.

This is about as close as you're going to get to a Land Raider, methinks.



For those curious, it's a British WWI era tank.

Yeah, 1:35 Mark I's were used by some as Land Raider stand-ins during the period at the end of 2nd edition/start of 3rd when there was no Land Raider model.

Imperial tanks are based off of human ones. Big whoop. Rhino = APC and predator = tank w/ sponsons, et. al.

The company assigned to make it stated it was an FV432. The 'making of' video for that 'rhino' for the DoW promos stated this. In addition, the "steel hulled" aspect of the original vehicle limits it to not being from an M-113 type (which are aluminium hulls). That and they were welding (with standard steel welding gear) trusswork and struts and supports for the 'skin' in the videos and not using specialised non-steel welding gear, kinda cements that.

The Leman Russ has more in common with French tanks (Char 1-bis) than the M-4 "Sherman". If anything, it's also closer to the M-3 "Grant".


I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
