I think it's genius. The reason an M3 had a barbette on the right hand side was because th yanks sit on the left to drive. That thing retains a barbette on the right, puts a hatch on the left for the commander to stick his head through, along with the door on the same side so he can bail out and run away faster, thereby retaining by jingo a proper pip pip British right hand drive vehicle.

40k's position as The One Big Franchise means that it has turned into a kitchen-sink setting in order to appeal to the widest fanbase. and that means pandering to WW2 wargamers.

I dislike it because its too close to an M3 halftrack.
But i like the fact that its a gigantic improvement over the Taurox.

Same with the 6x6 armored car. Way to close to the Saladin. And not enough "40k".

Both are good models in themselves, but not really 40k, and they do not fit with the rest of the guard vehicles.

The previous vehicles were not just WW1 vehicles. Inspired by them, absolutely, but not just straight clones. That halftrack and the hippogriff in particular are just historical models at this point.

Flair is not equal to just copy paste an entire vehicle.
Take a look at pic related. That has the flair of a ww2 half-track.

The OP pic however, is just a ww2 half-track.. and thats just super low effort from GWs side.

>>
>>97774575
I don't like it, it's a straight copy/paste of a real WWII vehicle into 40k which is never how Imperial Guard vehicle design worked. Guard vehicles have always been a big mish-mash of different design elements from different designs from different eras with a splash of originality to make something that is at once strongly reminiscent of real historical fighting vehicles and also completely different at the same time.

For example, take the Chimera. You can see that it's broadly inspired by the Soviet BMP but only by comparing some specific design features (e.g. the relatively small turret, the lasguns sticking out the sides, the general shape of the rear hull, the hunter-killer missile being a copy of the Sagger and its mounting rail from the BMP-1), if you put a Chimera and a BMP next to each other they look totally different because the Chimera is also borrowing heavily from the design language of WWI rhomboid tanks but with a sharply quadrilateral track layout that no WWI tank ever had, and the front hull is more or less an original design. The whole thing comes together to be strongly reminiscent of historical fighting vehicles but without actually really resembling any specific one.

Virtually all of the previously existing Imperial Guard vehicles are like this, both GW and FW, even the Rogal Dorn - though in hindsight that may have been accidental, what with the Dorn being a clumsy attempt at 'Leman Russ but bigger' rather than designing something new from first principles.

I also don't like the new Hippogriff for the same reasons, it's a copy/pasted Puma with a copy/pasted Rogal Dorn turret.

Not a Puma, but a british Saladin.
I mean, using historical vehicles and make them look 40k can work, but it requires more effort than what GW did here.

Not a fan of either of the new guard vehicles.
And while the Rogal Dorn tank looks shit for different reasons, at least it was not a 1 to 1 copy paste vehicle.

It's missing a pair of wheels but the protruding stepped front is far more reminiscent of the Puma than the Saladin, the lower pair of headlights are even mounted in the same place. It does have some Saladin in it but I'd say it's definitely more Puma (hexwheel edition) than Saladin.

I'm not seeing it. Sorry. The enire lower section (even ignoring the number of wheels) is a Saladin and not a Puma.
I added two more vehicles to your pic, so it gets clearer.
Obviously, wheeled tanks are all somewhat similar, but i really struggle to see the german ww2 design in the Hippogriff, while the chimera proxy obviosuly is meant to be a Puma.
>>
>>97774659
That's a good thing. WW1/2 vehicle with minor greebling is the classic Guard vehicle design recipe. The Leman Russ is just a WW1-era British tank with an added turret and cannon on the front glacis.
>>
>>97777239
The Chimaera is literally a Soviet BMP with an Aquila slapped on. I've seen the real thing in person, and it's damn near identical.
>>
>>97778124
Problem is: They forgot to add some extra stuff to the new vehicies.
Its not "an M3 half-track/wheeled tank with some extra 40k bits", its just the half-track and the wheeled tank.

>>97778081
I've added some blue lines to compared the front profiles of the three, you can see that the new IG car shares its shape with the Puma (albeit with slightly different proportions) while the front of the Saladin is one continuous flat plate. The engine deck on the IG car also sits noticeably higher than the level of the mud guards and has a similar shape, while the Saladin's engine deck is very flat and triangular with no flat surface at the top like the IG car's and the Puma's. The wheels and mud guards are 100% taken from the Saladin and the copy/pasted boxy Rogal Dorn turret is much more reminiscent of the Saladin's, but I still think the main hull is majority Puma DNA.
>>
>>97778139
Get your eyes checked
>>
>>97778192
I think if we would take the turret from the bottom puma proxy, and put it on the hippo chassis, it would look more like a puma too. The big turret is what draws the eyes first, right after the wheels.
>>
>>97778192
I dont want to nitpick, but the front plate of the Saladin is not a straight line either. It has a slight step in it too, even if its not as big as on the GW model (or the puma tank).
>>
>>97774575
Meh, to much real life.

The design and estetic is on point. Simple, only streight lines aka easy to manufacture for the mechanicus. No iconografy or any other over the top bullshit. I just dont like its so much american halftrack. Its like a 1:1 copy from conflict or any other ww2 tabletop.

Rather have a uodated russ and chimera.

Holly shit you dumb fuck stfu.
>>
>>97778293
I'm having issues with that as well. they established for so long, that the Imperium likes (or has) to rely on the same chassis for the ease of production, and while there where other vehicles mentioned in the novels here and there, it never was widespread, and only limited to local productions. And now, out of the sudden, the Guard has a wide array of new vehicles and weapons, and they are not based on any of the existing vehicles.

And if they do want to introduce a new vehicle, why not make it a new, universal, chassis. This transport in the OP could carry a roof and a turret just fine. Why is there the need for a 2nd new vehicle, when they could have used the one kit, to make several variants out of it. (which again, would be in line with the way the guard and the imperium in general, makes their combat vehicles)
>>
>>97777198
And this is a shit choice and only shows the designer is a dumb fuck. He is not understandig the design philosophy of imperial gear. The blocks and streight lines are easyer and cheaper to produce and most importantly faster then inticrate round forms. Hence the dorn is shit. There is a race vibe that the design team compleatly missed and only shows how dumb and retarded they are.

Designing is not just move a stylus and slap shit in blender togther. Its catching the overall soul and vibe of a faction.

The imperizm shits out gear on metric ton basis in seconds. Every one is expendble. Efficency in production and maximising resource use stands above anything else. Round shapes are longer to create harder to maintain.

The designers are morons that have zero real life expirance and knolage. They should touch grass.

Well, they're OK model-wise.
It's just that they're rather uninspired. It's pretty much an M3 halftrack and a Saladin armored car with Imperial Aquilas. But without those marekings, I'd have to really do a double take to realize that this is a 40k mini.

Imperial Armour obviously took a look at real life tanks and just copied and adapted them to 40k's model range by making the 40k vehicles look a bit like stuff from WW1 or WW2.
>>
>>97778485
Yes that thing.

Add a flatbad with seats abd you got a troop transport. Use it for the standart containers for logistics and for fuel, tow truck for field guns with ammo. Like the solution was there on a silverplater. Looking 40k as fuck. Logical, further establishing and grounding the imperial army. Unlimited conversion posibilitys for golden demon. Building dioramas and and and. And the best thing GW can shit out is that thing. Atleast its not as utter trash and shit like the taurox.

Its not a big deal, when they stick to their established vehicles. I also dont mind it, if some random STL creators do that. It can even look charming, but from GW themselves, i expect a little bit more effort than what would be a random monthly patreon release for the "Canadian" Guard.

In fact, its actually funny that due to the fact that GW did not release any proper guard stuff for so long, all the established guard proxy lines had a half track vehcile and wheeled light tanks for ages.. and now GW comes up with the same, and it feels like they copy the proxies, and not the other way around like its usually the case.

You're just trolling, but I'll humor you.
Guard has been anything and everything from Vietnam to Lawrence of Arabia to WW2 Eastern Front to Redcoaots vs. Zulus to trench warfare to panzer batallions to Twilight 2000.
It's been that way for around 30 years.
You somehow seem to diskike this, which is fine. nobody forces you to play a WW1, WW2 or 'modern' Guard army. You can play !not-Atreides landsknechts in space.
But you can't change what GW wrote the Guard to be over the last few decades.

nothing wrong with that desu, the rhino is just an M113 and the russ is just a char b1 + ww1 tank. As long as it looks good and has 40k proportions it's a good model. I actually prefer that over them trying to do something like the taurox.
>>
>>97780149
if they're priority was effectively milking nostalgia dollars they would have released new mk 7 models by now. There are 100% weird internal political struggles in play that make them do stupid shit sometimes. If you've ever worked at a small-medium sized company where the departments and egos fought it's pretty easy to imagine.

>>97777901
It doesn't matter if they're late. They're the "official" in-universe vehicle. People are going to purchase to gobble it up regardless.

what uh

what were you expecting from the WW1 / WW2 tanks faction? a Type 1 Ho-Ha with skulls for headlights? an FV104 with a corpse scoop on the front? a Terrapin with a ship's bell and when the bell rings a heretic strapped to the clapper dies? what

don't worry anon, they hurriedly put together some "concept art" of new steel legion that may or may not arrive in a few years

The new Cadian scheme really does not work for me, but I can see the model looking nice if done up with some better weathering and less of a gradient. (Seriously why the fuck do all the new Cadian paintjobs have that weird dark-green gradient thing going on? It looks horrible with the edge highlighting.)

I can see a classic sand/desert camo work nicely on that vehicle.

Well, more effort would have been nice. How about slapping together design elements from a variety of ww2 half-tracks? Similar how existing guard designs are not straight copies of one thing, but always mixed some things. This thing is so obviously an American half-track, it just feels so lazy. And additionally: Nothing about it besides the stubber is an existing 40k vehicle element either. It does not really belong.

Light brown/beige/sand makes any vehicle so much more readable. Any light colour works I guess.

>>97782496
light colors (or very dark colors) are also super good for weathering to show nicely, which you almost certainly want to show scale on vehicle. Parade ground clean is almost never a good choice for a scale model.

because historical games dont allow for M3 half tracks to fight space aliens
the entire point of 40k is to see german panzer armies fight vikings in space

You raise a good question. How much is this GW just trying to cover every vehicle design so they 3dr party producers can be sued as violating their IPs?

I don't know but given that the codexes aren't being updated it seems we should probably expect more of the same. Psychic phase and wargear costs/variable squad sizes are unlikely to make a comeback. I feel like if they had any really exciting news, they would have announced it at adepticon. Of course more detachments isn't a bad thing but I'd like to see more flavour than just a handful of enhancements and 3 stratagems for my army.

I wonder if the armoured cars are gonna come in boxes of two. Why else would they put two into the big box? They look quite small for an expensive kit, so put two in there and charge a higher price.

No files of guard proxies got taken down, because GW does not give a shit about guard:
Take this for example.. you can't make it more obvious, and yet, its publically available for over a year.
https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-leman-russ-battle-tank-451855

And if they do not even filter the biggest STL marketplace for their own names and keywords to take blatant copies down, in what world would they even attempt do something against more or less generic tanks like this one:

https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-universal-guard-light-battle-tank-607703

I mean, its clearly a LR proxy, but how could GW possibly get it removed?

Or take pic related: If anything, Mortian could ask GW to not copy his wheeled tank, because his was available for years.

The disgust and dismay I feel at having to share a planet with fuckwits like you is only marginally mitigated by the fact that you almost certainly can't truly, deep down believe the bullshit you spout and so there must be moments, sometimes, when the despair at the truth of your pathetic worthless existence makes you consider ending it all.

I urge you to listen to that inner voice, take the pills, leap from the building, pull the trigger. It's not just depression when you think it: everyone genuinely would be better off without you.

NTA but in what stores are you proxying? Everyone I've talked to that bothers playing can't play proxies unless it's either at a friend's place or at a regular local shop, actual GW storefronts will chuck a huge tanty if you proxy or even kitbash too aggressively, let alone for official tournaments.
