I had such a blast painting this some time ago, A friend of mine MAC built the bad boy from a 1/35 military vehicle and added all the 40k extras to make it fit in with the grim dark future setting we all love.

the link is a youtube video of me talking about how i went about painting the APC

Brilliant!

love it ! and it looks like it could hold 10 marines !

It shouldn't work but ... it does. Awesomely!

That's tres cool - nicely done.

I like it!

What tank kit is that? i know it has 40k bits, but what is the base tank?

Scratch built I guess?

Pretty awesome

Awesome. 100x better than the GW model.

Nice job on that model! Looks very nice. That is a cool mud effect you have going there. Thanks!

Chris

Im guessing its from a Striker kit?

Ya that does look like it can hold 10 guys!

Spot on matey, thats the tank my buddy converted. I love how he extended the armour down by the wheels so they are not so exposed

So awesome. These would make epic Chimeras also.

Just watched your video and now I am thinking Imperial Guard Apoc custom command vehical.

What scale is the kit?

Wow, that's cool. I use old-school Rhinos for my Space Men. I love those old tanks, but they look like they could only hold 2 marines, tops, and only then if they don't stand up. What you've done is far closer to reality.

Any chance you could put it next to a land raider for scale?

I pretty sure it is 1/35 scale buddy, but if you google the striker kit all the info you need should be on it

Thanks! Just wanted to make sure since I am unfamiliar with military model scaling as it pertains to 40K. That model is just so epic I can't stop looking at it. Even showed my wife, she just rolled her eyese at me at told me I spend too much time thinking about warhammer

Cheater! You jut snapped photos of some Ultramarines who'd landed for a pit stop near your house!

Seriously, though. F'ing awesome! The tires on that thing are some of the best I've ever seen.

Thank you matey, I have to say some of the military kits out there are amazing they come with real rubber tyres not plastic two part moulds. Wish GW did the same the space marine bike wheels are shocking in comparison.

Nice work, amigo. The paint job on the cribbed fig is pretty bangin', but if I'm honest then all of your paint jobs look pretty frickin' amazing, from what I can see in the background. That Drop Pod in particular looks tasty.

So cool

That came out nice, great job !

Good conversion !

THAT LOOKS NON CODEX, HERESY!

Bloody good model though, really good use of other models and a top notch paintjob/finish. (even if in the last pic the driver is about to get a twin linked lascannon to the back of the neck)

It looks great. I guess not even the Ultra marines have time to clean the mud off their tires.
