I recently realized that I would have to be more careful with my FW purchases after seeing that I had spent too much of my hobby budget on some infantry. However I still need a Spartan tank for my World eaters. So I need to know the following:

1. How big is the tank compared to a Rhino?

2. How big is the tank compared to a Land Raider?

3. What kits should I use to build a mock up of it?

Keep in mind my plasticard skills are horrible.

It's pretty big. But it's not unreasonable to convert a convincing model.

This one from a Bolter & chainsword thread is pretty nice

Looks like "expanding" the entry ramp and adding some Pre-heresy junk would be enough in this case. I am open to more ideas though/

Well, the original land raider spartain was just a hellfire land raider with a rhino hull grafted onto the front. I think you got the right idea. Longer, with preheresy dodads.

Ok basic plan:

1. Stick extra lascannons on it.

2. Give it a bunch of world eaters honors to distinguish it.

3. Profit.

I recently realized that because of the way the land raider is built I will have trouble extending it.
