I know the new flavour of Marine tanks are all floaty but I'm open to suggestions.

I was wanting to try convert something so I bought what I thought was a cheapy toy the same size but I see now it's about 10% longer than a Russ or a Chimera.

I'm now wanting to make it something anyway, not really ever gonna play it, just want to do the modelling. Besides "rule of cool" of building a cool tank is there something I can actually build that isn't Baneblade big but bigger than a Russ?

Have a look at the IG Malcador. It's a bit longer than a Russ but comparably broad.

I would also suggest maybe the Sicaran battle tank from the space marine line of things. Not quite land-raider size, but almost.

Could we maybe see a pic of the tank in question and get some specs?

(I love converting non-gw tanks to use in 40k by the way. Almost all of my tanks are non-gw!)

It's a generic $1 store plastic "M1 Abrams" tank.

16cm long, 8.5cm wide, 4cm high. As wide as Russ without sponsons, as long as a Land Raider.

A Malcador should fit size wise. It would still leave room for a dozer blade or some trench rails in the back.
