I dunno, the Leman Russ is basicly designed on the Sherman MBT. There are no real varients on the churchill, which is a shame.

Warhammer 40K is sci-fi gothic fiction. It's not meant to be realistic. I don't think any of the tanks were based on real world vehicles.

Well they contain elements of real world vehicles. They definitely seem to be developed from WW1 era tanks.

What do you mean ' I don't think any of the tanks were based on real world vehicles. ' ? The Leman russ: tough, reseilient, reliable, mass-produced by the million. T-34+Sherman:tough, resilient reliable and mass-produced by the million.
The Basilisk is too close to the german hummel+ Wespe series of mobile artillery to be a coincidence, The rhino is basicly a M112 armoured personal carrier, the baneblade is the Maus(it even has the smaller co-axial gun), The vanquisher is the sherman firefly- an uppgunned but expensive antitank weapon. The thunderer is the Stug- Sturmpanzer series of assault guns, The Laser destroyer is the jagdpanzer series tanks, and the preadator is taken from the ideas of the Panzer III-IV. Remember- their are no new ideas. Only old ones rehashed.

Yeah, damned straight. I always saw the Chimera as a t-34, or maybe a BT series type. They all derive from real world tanks.

Thanks guys, yeah the WWI tanks are all so crazed-up that they'd work for 40k. The main german tank, the AV7 (or some number, but AV-something) had a regular crew of 18! Yeah, no joke. 18 men, at all times, in the tank...two were full-time mechanics cause the little engines were so everworked...

Ihave a fear of lepoard tanks flying through the air and crushing me. I once saw a clip of them and how fast they are and it did a dukes of hazard thing over a hill and ive been afraid ever since. the only ones i have to fear are canadian ones in the us but still if canada invaded america they'd attack NH first or new york, probably new york as it has value to the us unlike my state.

Lol you and your russian tanks. Accually, some of the land-battleship ones of the 1920's 30's would be perfect for 40k. It may be hard to find models for them though, they were mostly obscure oddities.

Yeah, Grants pretty much are leman russes. Thanks guys, but the problem of cheap tanks has been solved! I'm getting a bunch of 2nd hand (very much so) guard stuff from a friend.

No, Shermans and T 34's are Leman Russes. (Trust me on this). Grants would make good russes, or even Basilisks (replace the 37mm turret gun with a heavy bolter).

I am really against using anything but GW components, using other kits is cheesy and there is a risk of loosing the Gothic-futuristic feel 40k has.

Yeah, i have come to enjoy the gothic feel. Thus, some commisars and a baneblade should straighten things out!

If you stick a commissar in the turret and some emblems on the side it'll just look like another imperial tank. Besides, all the warhammer tanks ares tolen from real world tanks anyway.
