Nice! Though i hope the inside track on those renders will be detailed on the final model. It may not be quite so obvious from a top down view, but it is quite an eye sore.
For me at least.
And whatever happened to the Gideon, i seem to remember it was a Mad Robot product (briefly)?

That's a sweet piece for sure.
Definitely considering it.
Is the tank commander a 3 pieces thing?

Nice design. I like it.
Galahad does seem like a very British name for an obviously Teutonic vehicle, though.

Or it’s a very nice leman Russ alternative that cost more but is made out of a different material and shipping reflects the fact that it weighs a bit and you live a few thousand miles from where it’s from. Well done!
Mad robot are brilliant company who make great stuff and I wish they were closer so I wouldn’t have to have up until I needed a big order to make it worth while with the shipping. Got a platoon of there infantry and want more. Would love these tanks too but would have to get rid of my old leman Russ tanks cos they would look crap in comparison.
So don’t be such a negative nelly, and embrace the awesome.

It's just a cash in on someone else's work, little better than a recaster in my personal opinion, part of the "oh look we could tweak here and there and boom avoid the IP lawyers"
But hey go ahead pat them on the back for making a worse and more expensive version of a crap GW model.

Well, everyone is entitled his opinion but, I fail to see the "little better than a recaster" issue on this one.
As an owner of multiples of ALL Leman Russes variants (and I include the FW ones),
I welcome these tanks.
These tanks are Mad Robots original designs.
You may like which I do, or not the said design, but these are original work[u].
3 modulable tanks with elements from WWII german tanks and
weapon options to make them playable as GW Leman Russes.
Engineering such kits take months of work, making renders, precasting prototypes, making modification etc...
before even starting casting one final kit. Far, far away from just recasting something else work.
So please credit where credit is due, and keep the discussion on informed basis.

I would like to chip in here, your products are on my wish list and have been for years, so much win. I have had the pleasure of your products (some wonderful heads) and they are a far superior quality.
The Galahad looks stunning, and a much more believable design for a battle tank. No idea what the numpty was on about, not even remotely close in design to a Russ.
Just wanted to chip in, not blowing smoke, but guys like you keep this universe interesting.

The hyperbole isn't helping your argument any. This isn't a 'tweak here and there'... aside from having weapons in a similar configuration, it looks nothing like a Leman Russ.
