Basically i would like to get something along the lines of this tank http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120695193771


However im led to beleive 1/76 scale is too small for warhammer, so my question is does any body know where i can get a larger scale one? or is 1/76 fine for warhammer?

they would be being used as leman russ's

1/76 is WAYYYY too small. That scale, while slightly smaller, is used mostly in 20mm wargaming alongside 1/72 scale, which is just right for 20mm. A 1/76 tank would be smaller in size than a Marine landspeeder. You want more along the lines of 1/48 or 1/35 scale.

Ahh cool, do you have any recommendations on kits as i havent been able to find any due to not really knowing what im looking for (other than that style of tank in the link)

I've got a few links for you, 1/35 scale Male Tanks. It's about the best i could come up with. Their not cheep, cost about the same as a Russ

Most 1:35 scale tanks are too big, apart from small vehicles such as early World War II models... well, perhaps Pz.Kpfw. III might be small enough, but on the other hand it looks too modern due to torsion bar suspension. Mark I would be too big, definitely... maybe Whippet or Renault FT would fit the bill, but they are not exactly easy to come by. In 1:48 scale, the situation is much worse. Basically, there are no tanks available apart from World War II ones, and none of them look "at home" in the grim darkness of the far future (at least as far as Imperial Guard is concerned).

Damn they are expensive :/ I may aswell stick to Leman russ's

Assuming you are fine with following the herd and sticking to the aesthetic of GW IG. Which is just fine, naturally. If the price is comparable and you want to stand out, these would really make your army stand out.
