found these today... am considering selling every tank i own and replacing with these.

it would mean I'd no longer have any of the iconic Russ or chimera.. however, I would gain the most bad ass battle tank that the screen has ever seen (admitedly, it's mainly seen being driven in to walls and doors)

while on that website I am also liking as possible elysian tauros options (though think FW are more win)

I was considering getting some Peter Pig pick-up trucks.

I will have to contact them and see what size they are.. 40k vehicles are a different scale to the infantry anyway so there's a chance they might still work...

I've found a model on aliexpress that looks remarkably similar to a Tauros Venator (and, strangely, bears the same name) that I hope to use as a proxy Taurox for a Tallarn platoon that I'm building.
The crew will have shemagh covered heads from Puppetswar.

I'm not sure if the Venator will look as if it could carry ten troops in the back but I've no qualms about converting them so that it looks like a troop carrier.

I will bug them to make a bigger one!
