Now complete.
[6/29 Edit: weeell...now it is. Turns out I needed to add some front tread armor and rococo Imperial decorations.]
Yes, it's a Mark IV WWI tank which had a love child with a Landing Craft Assault transport from the Second World War.
But the Land Raider is one of the iconic vehicles of the 40K setting. And Tommy and I completed it today...after a near-disaster redeemed with hobby knives and a quick reset.
That's a regular Space Marine manning the lethal "Melta gun" on top.
Diagonal view of the left hatch (held in place with my friend the hobby magnet) and the Flamestorm cannon. GW loves it some sponson mounts.
The right side, with the Flamestorm cannon and more magnet work (visible in the upper left hand corner of the hatch).
The assault ramp deployed. You can run out a formidable batch of Marines after torching the landscape with the main weapons.
Note that GW is very inconsistent when it comes to scaling vehicles and troops. And that's just as well, as consistent scaling would make it a hobby only for the Robb Report set.

Be reasonably civil. Ire alloyed with reason is fine. But slagging the host gets you the banhammer.
