DE Catamaran: Beautiful
Land Raider: Ugly piece of RT gak.

QFT!!!

But the RT Land Raider was never good looking.

Doesn't make it uncool though.

RT Land Raider O_O

need to go hospital now after having a heart attack from the shear awsomeness of that model

Is that thing driving on its track hinges?

The actual newsletter Kroothawk posted says the Tantalus is about 11" long. That puts it at about twice the length of a normal Raider (depends on whether you count the ram on the front or not....difference between it being 5 or 6 inches long.). So from there, hopefully you can kinda get an idea of the size of that monster!

The Tantalus is cool and willl be bought oh yes, its lovely.

I still have the original RT Land Raider Must get round to having it built!

Why build it?
If it's still in the box--sell it so you can afford two Tantaluses!

Really I did not know it was worth that much! - Hmm I will have to have a look - I think its all there win the old box.

thanks

I think somewhere people are forgetting warmachines aren't really designed to be sexy. If they appear sexy its because someone was stranded out in the middle of nowhere fully dependent on one for their safety and life. Sexy is in the eye of the beholder.

Maybe for you Imperium and Marine types. You cannot say anything to convince me that Catamaran is not sexy as well as deadly.

My Inq just got a sick new ride for him and his henchies

The DE vehicle looks awesome, but I'm not sure I like the idea of it having lascannons... Nothing else in the DE armoury (currently) has lascannons. Dark lances, void lances, haywire blasters... Sure, any of those weapons, even beefier versions of them. Maybe some weaponry similar to that of the Eldar FW stuff. But lascannons? That's too imperial for my liking...

Guess it's time to break out my RT era Land Raider from its box and get it back on the table.

If some Eldar player actually paid the money for one of those, and painted it in appropriate Harlequin colors, I would let them use it, and then make it the target of my wrath just for kicks! (New model syndrome is a bitch!) By the way, if GW does actually put out a Chaos Legions Codex, that thing will be on my list for sure.

It reminds me of the Epic LR's. i must say i like the new ones better. I understand it's retro, but seriously we've come a long way from this. But, kudos FW for playing to your boys!

Forge World already has mods based on the Epic land raider though.

I am basically out of the hobby (not the price gouging or other shenanigans, its just not fun to play anymore...), and I am going to have one of these LRs.

I remember the old plastic one I used to have.

Where did you see that it has Lascannons?

nice that they have re-released the old RT land raider, but the price is a bit high for it I must say >.<

My thoughts exactly, hope that wasn't sarcasm...

This full resin kit, designed by Phil Stutcinskas, is packed with some amazing details and two different hull-mounted weapon options to supplement its twin-linked sponson-mounted lascannons

Yeah that bit was for the land raider. The Tantalus is armed with scythevanes and pulse disintegrators, whatever those are

ya i think twin-linked sponson-mounted lascannons is for the landraider.

heralded by the screech of the molecular dissonance fields of its scythevanes and the rapid fire of its pulse-disintegrator armament.

Ooops, you guys are right! Hah. This makes much more sense and makes me a happy Eldar.

its all good it happens

Anyone got anything on what the Tantalus is going to DO? I mean from the description, it sounds like Scythevanes are going to make it for running over troops and slicing them up...maybe tanks too. Giant Lawnmower? With guns?

They will be mine... oh yes... they will be mine.

Please tell me that Proteus is a photoshop. Please.
