I came across this while searching for info on M61A5 tank.
It looks damn good for Steampunk games or perhaps some kind of mad AdMech creation in 40K.
I'm very tempted to get one on general principles.

I can see how. It's practically the same thing 
Does look very cool, though. It's a shame Chaos Marines don't have Landspeeders...

Oh man, do want. I will find some way to shoehorn this thing into some game if the model is as good as the concept art.

Very nice.
Could definitely see this being used for a nurgle army if somebody was so inclined.
Some detail pics for the lazy.
The fish sub is very nice too.
Love those walking tanks and the hover tank. How I haven't seen them before now is a mystery.

Yeah, solid proof that GW didn't choose _quite_ the silliest place to mount the GK pilot after all. Hmm, that pose would be quite suitable for a Slaanesh looted GK, if you could think of something sensible for it to count-as...
Back on topic, I do like the robo-fish, brings back memories of the show Stingray.

Now that definetly would look cool in my chaos army. I have no idea as what, though.

I've been looking for an excuse to start a Slaaneshi-themed counts-as Grey Knights army and now I've got one. A little converting, greenstuff smoothing of the joints and I think it will do nicely. 
Have the rider something like this:

You could modify the seat on the walker to be like Mr Garisons invention on south park, that would fit the slaaneshi theme. I think it could be cool as well to take the mirrors of and place them on the dread knight to lol it up a bit
If the scale is correct maybe the hornet would make a good blight drone with some nurgling up.

Have to say I love the fish sub.
It was silly of me, but I was hoping for something like the Ornithopter from Dune, but what I got was quite nice.
The less said about the other thing though, the better.

With my usual contrariness I have to say I rather like it.
I reckon it's a very good representation of what a Dreadknight would look like if designed in Soviet Russia in the 1950s.
