honestly one'd work on a pintle mount it'd not be that big.

That's what's on a Land Speeder or Attack Bike.

And on an old land raider and there was one on a named character baneblade.

Are you referring to the Fortress of Arrogance? I think that was the name.

No a forge world one from somebody Weismann or something from imperial armour one.

All this discussion about Land Raiders made me wonder if people were discussing more the MkI or MkII Land Raider design. I mean, there is some differences in design:

I was talking about them all.

That's a wide net to cast since they have differences.

One looks like a brick, the other looks like it should be on the moon, imo.

As does the LR mk1 from the WW1 tank. I was discussing how they show the progression of the design but you can still see elements in the later versions present in the original. Same as rtb01 through old marines to primaris marines. Changes but design elements tie them all together.

Those pics made me realise I really liked the old landraider.

The reinforced armor mod is gold, imo.

Or you mean the ancient one? The original has this funny "perch" to it that the FW redux doesnt really capture.

Now you say it I see the extra armour. Does look ace. I meant the ancient one. Happy memories. I’m also a fan of the epic one they did that Forgeworld made too. Bit the old one is the best. Silly as f@ck but ace. No space for transport, so tall it would roll around guns that just needed to snap off.

Honestly the space inside that thing is vacuous. Esp, if you recall the size of beakies.

I dont remember the Epic FW one, just the Epic Armageddon one (and of course, the original one in Space Marine)

I think it came out with epic 40000. Plastic similar shape to the new one but with armoured sponsons like a leman Russ and integral heavy bolters like a repulsor.

Found a pic.

Yeah that's the Epic Armageddon one.

They're gorgeous models alright - the current ones I mean . I sincerely hope they never go away. Even if the oldmarines' days are numbered, I really hope we have a tracked Land Raider for as long as Games-Workshop exists.

When the old Marines get moved to the Legends, they can give all the old tracked Marine vehicles to the Sisters. That way they will still be part of the fully supported part of the game.

.50 cal is a pretty good gun, too.

When all the old marines stay around for quite a long time yet, there won't be a reason to move their vehicles to sisters as they are still part of the game. Really man, take a breath and wait and see time is your ally sooner or later you'll be right and no armies will be supported anymore.

The primaris trainwreck cannot be stopped

None of the things I had liked about space marines is present on that model. It's just an abomination IMO, not much else to say.

He makes me think Cheesy supervillain from like marvel or DC. I really do not like it at all.

Is his helmet somehow missing the top? Or did they add hair to a helmet?

That is his hair, he has his helmet on the belt.

I think the helmet on his belt is just a memento of his old armour.

He's wearing half a Suppressor helm.

That shrike model is awful, and he's for some reason gotta be tall on the wall as he looks ugly with his half a helmet, very heroic.

He looks like he'd strut down the road pointing at random women and dancing to some skanky funk before heading to a jazz club.
