Anyone know what tank this is? I couldn't find it on GW's website.

It looks like a custom Hydra AA tank to me.

Looks like a Forgeworld Hydra turret with regular Astra Imperialguardium heavy weapon team autocannons in place of the quad-linked reallybigguns.

at a glance i would say it is an older chimera chassis as well as in prior to the variants being available from GW ..(Circa late 80's early 90's at a guess)

the Chimera isn't as old as that.
AFAIK there's only been 2 Chim chasis (upon which the variant models were built on like the Griffon & the Basilisk).
The current one is around 5 years old.
I think the original was released in 1995.

Yup, chimera (and variants) is 2nd ed origin - mid 90s (prior to 2nd ed, guard had access to predators, and rhinos instead).

the turret is deff from the old FW hydra, and the auto cannons are the ones from the agis defensive-line quad gun.

Not sure what's going on with that body thow. it looks like they used the top off the transport chimeria and covered the turret hole with a hatch. and maby cut the back so it would fit with the FW resin bits that go in the back?

I found a pick to show how it's suppose to look.



I'm guessing the guy who got it didn't know how to straiten the resin barrels of the hydra tank, and that was their solution. Not sure why the strange conversion on the front.
