Just a couple of questions about the land speeder vengeance, how does the driver drive if half his view is obscured by the guy in the turret and also what's inside the stained glass window?

How do they drive tanks in the 20th and 21st century when their only view is forward? It shouldn't be that hard.

Also isn't it better that the guy in the turrent can fire 180 degrees now instead of just 90?

I like it. I think this is so much better. I find it funny so many people complain that GW is stale and when they finally do something different, many more people complain about it.

Most modern tanks use cameras, I imagine the Imperium is using this technology in there tanks as well.

Even in WWI and WWII? I don't recall them using cameras in WWI at all.

They used Periscopes

They usually have a tank commander issuing directions from the turret, or are themselves sitting upright outside the hull and not buttoned down.

Different does not necessarily mean Better. The LSV/Shroud looks...silly. It looks like a bad parody of a 1980's GI-Joe toy.

The turret size/placement throws the whole thing off-balance in two different dimensions, it looks like a Land Speeder caught Tasmanian Devil Face Cancer.

New/Different stuff isn't bad. Forgeworld proves this all the time. However, not all new/different stuff is good.

I said modern tanks.
