I can't give you any suggestions, but I can give you this modernized Panther picture.

>>44565142
Don't have the pic on my phone but irc the 1/48 p4 was a little longer and little shorter. Pretty close overall and the guy was able to stick a battlecannon on it as well

I always find "modernized" stuff a big silly. Like you got "modern roman legions" and it's a dude with a lorica segmentata style kevlar vest and a galea style tactical helmet, carrying a gladius style tactical knife and a riot tower shield.

So from this thread I can pretty much conclude 99% of u guys use GW kits only?

I don't have a specific picture but http://z11.invisionfree.com/Work_In_Progress/index.php? has a shitton of IG stuff.

40k has a weird scale, it doesn't really fit with 1/48 scale, or indeed any other scale.

Not 1/48 but whatever

>B1 bis as Leman Russ
Aw yisssssss

It's perfect for the role

>>44567547
I know 40K is suppose to be 1/56 Heroic, or rather that is the closest you would get but the Heroic fucks it all up so you need to make things bigger.

1/35 is too big as can bee seen in:

I bought some 1/35 M270 MRLS to use as Wyverns but they were Baneblade length.

I recently found out about 1/48 scale but there aren't that many models available in that scale.

What I'd like to see is a 1/48 Panzer iv next to a Leman Russ, Rhino or whatever so you could get some clue on the scale.

>>44567569
40K L (cm) W (cm) H (cm)
Leman Russ 11 8 7.5

1:35 scale L (cm) W (cm) H (cm)
Pzkpfw III 15.8 8.3 7.1

1:48 scale L (cm) W (cm) H (cm)
Pzkpfw III 11.5 6.1 5.2

According to this a 1/35 Panzer iii would fit better than a 1/48 as the measurements are almost perfect except for it being a bit longer.

What would a 1/48 one look like? The 1/35 looks a bit too big as stated. Perhaps you can shorten it?

Just get a 1/56 Panzer from Warlord or Rubicon models.

They're sized perfectly for 40k's scale.

Try early WWII light tanks in 1:35. Some were tall and dorky looking, just right for 40k.

>>44568328
I've requested some pics from Rubicon, I fear they may be too small. If 1/48 is too small then 1/56 is even smaller.

This is a Warlord Panther next to a Russ right?
1/56 seems too small

1/35 is closer for 40k.

>>44569055
1/35 is too big as can be seen in the pics above.
1/56 is too small as can be seen in the pics above.

Now if someone could just post some 1/48 scale tanks next to a Leman Russ we would be golden.

>>44569258
I did, 1/35 is fine. The length issue stems from the Russ having such derpy proportions. A guard tank commander will fit much easier in a 1/35 cupola than a 1/48 one.

Venezuela still uses M18s though. So WW2 era stuff isn't as bad as neo legionaries.

read this, it's not as simple as just picking up a kit and using it as is, not if you want it to look right: http://z11.invisionfree.com/Work_In_Progress/index.php?showtopic=5661

The last upgrade of the T-34/85 was done in 1969 (the T-34/85 Obj. 1969 or T-34/85M). The Panther itself remained in use by the french until the mid 1950s.
