Stumbled upon this while shopping for chaos land raider tracks:

Chaos Renegade Militia Tank Crew

Never seen it posted before, apologies if it has been and I missed it.  A little underwhelming actually, though not sure what I expected ... Looking for some Chaotic tank kits myself

- Boss Salvage

Cool, I'm going to have to get a couple of those myself.

cant say I have seen it before?

Those are friggin cool. I really need to buy them and the other traitor stuff.

they're new, just released w/ latest newsletter. I agree, very nice.

That's an impressive mask, but that's about it.

What I want to know is:

When is FW going to make some traitor guard vehicle conversion kits???

Hopefully soon, because it seems kind of like overkill for them to release even more Russ variant hulls and turrets for the loyalists when they haven't done any traitor ones. Especially when traitors would be more likely to have variant versions of vehicles (IMO).

I think the FW sculptors could really go wild with traitor vehicles since they wouldn't have to adhere to any of the previous IG themes.

Based off of what has been written in, say Guant's Ghost books, traitor vehicles vary pretty wildly. It would be very nice to see some traitor specific vehicle types for the LatD.

Hey look! That guy is equipped with las, plasma.
Okay, that was lame...

Looks like the sculpters have been playing a little too much Splinter Cell.

More awesome sculpts. I would die and go to heaven if GW produced a plastic kit of this caliber. Is it even possible?

They could do it in metal, but not plastic due to the limitations of plastic injected molding and GW's particular brand of ineptness at it. (note: they aren't the worst at it, but they sure as hell ain't the best either)

edit: What is up with the plasma pistol toting dude? Despite that anachronism I do like FW's traitor guard and would like to see more even if I refuse to pay the prices they're asking.

Yup I second they need to make some tank 'up grade" kits for traitors like another kind of turret like for the Leman Russ to make it look like an
AT-70 and the like.

Better yet what about some blood pact heads?

The Stalk tanks?  Yea those sounded very different.  The traitor tanks sounded a bit retro, like they were using Vietnam types during modern warfare.

Those are definately very cool.  I'm with Jojo on this one, as far as plastic kits go.

If GW started producing this kind of stuff in plastic, they'd be recieving a lot more money from me.

And admittedly, if I had wasn't a poor college student, I'd buy stuff from Forgeworld too.

Plasma Nine is for perpetrators, Auto Nine is for b!tches.  He holds them sideways like Rico in New York Undercover. 

That straight up gangsta, homie.

Daaaaaam, playa. You got me sold, I gots to get me some plasma too. Bustin caps in them graffiti dudes all day.

Mask is good but I can't stand the whole concept of a tank commander waving a pistol, two pistols, or a rifle about. Thats what the tank is for!

Not when infantry gets in your blind spots...then you have to bust some caps the old fashioned way!

oooooo Blood Pact shock troops would be even better!

That's Cypher in the center there, with the plasma and bolt pistol.
