Design-wise, I feel it keeps way too many elements of old tanks, especially the front. Now since it looks more like a sluggish, slow antigrav vehicle, I wouldn't say it's entirely unfitting, but it doesn't feel satisfying. They'd better tried some new design.

Or, you know, just NOT try to do a Space Marine antigrav tank. Unimaginative shit.

Why did they have the retarded idea to place a twin linked lasscannon on the hull?

>>53572098

It looks like it actually has some movement side to side, YMMV. And it's a hover tank, it's not like turning is an issue.

But historically there have been plenty of tracked vehicles with fixed forward guns, usually they're considered 'tank destroyers', they don't have the tactical flexibility of a real tank but they're cheaper, lower profile, and can absolutely blow the shit out of a real tank.

Decent hull mounted weapon.
Main turret weapon, and a coaxial.
Then a commanders gun. And some extra doodads.

There'll be different turret guns. Maybe exchangeable coaxial. Different hull gun.
Optional commanders gun, and the doodads will be optional with various kit.
High likelihood of command variant.
They'll get stupid names like always depending on the main turret gun.

And maybe a hull mounted super weapon variant.

>>53572449
Knife ears provided the genes, then crashed a mechanicus ship right on their moon with all the tech they'd need to get a head-start. They're probably one of Eldrad's plots to dodge the Rhana Dandra by using a race of warp-immune foot soldiers.

Personally, I liked it back when the rumor was that Farsight had been corrupted by the Necrons. The Dawn Blade had the stats of a Warscythe and everything. Now it's just more demon-bullshit, that somehow hasn't bothered to eat his soul yet.

>>53572473

I like it. It pushes the idea of the razorback as a frontline transport with tank hunter capabilities to the limit. The excess dakka recognizes that this mobile firing platform will be mostly fighting against massive odds, so just chuck everything on the damn thing.

Truth.

Hopefully we can re position the missile launchers and stowage on the side of the tank for a cleaner aesthetic.

>>53572673
Simple. The Primaris Boltstubber Maxigun™ is controlled with his hands. The turret-mounted Primaris Lasfire Destructorcannon™ is aimed via a hip-mounted hula hoop interface and fired by thrusts of the hip. The hull-mounted Twinlinked Lasfire Destructorcannon™ is fired via a pedal that the Primaris Space Marine™ can simply step on. The Terra's Fury Deathmissle Systems™ are auto-aiming and single-shot. They fire when the primaris Space Marine™ farts.

Guilliman as Justinian 40k could be cool, and if you want another example of easy parallels, one of the biggest events in Justinian's reign was the Plague of Justinian - the first time THE Plague, aka the Black Death, was encountered.

It's been consistently used with space marines.

My biggest gripe with the model is the hull mounted twin-lascannon and the minigun, if they removed the hull-weapon and the minigun could be replaced with something smaller it could look pretty damn good on my opinion.

Plus it could reduce a bit of the clutter

>>53573034
>>53573077
What is absolutely pissing me off the most (and this started with the Imperial guard punisher cannon) is that the Imperium had a specific look to their rotary chainguns, depending on whether it was bolter or assault cannon based, and now it's being replaced with "generic minigun" on all the fucking chainguns. Looks so fucking out of place.

It also needs less missiles, and I say this as a Macross fan.

>>53573058

Yeah it was a one off, it was never actually a produced model but the round shape just looked nothing like current tank design (and why should it in the 41st millennium), but that was more interesting than this which just looks like a current tank but flying.

>>53573115
So how often has it been used by anything but terminators since 3rd edition?

>>53573115
this minigun wouldn't look out of place on a modern helicopter.

It lacks a few distinct design elements that separate the assault cannon from a contemporary rotary gun, which is likely why anon is complaining about it.

>>53573047

Christ, never heard of this thing. But that is literally a Chimera.

>>53573008
Just finished my Dissertation on this, and this is a pretty cool theory. Justinian, inheritor of Rome, sought to restore the Empire, by retaking North Africa, Italy etc. Roboute, Inheritor of the Imperium, wants to restore the glory, retaking the worlds lost to Chaos. Also, It means that Roboute will follow with an insane guy who fucks everything up.

>>53572227
>Implying you weren't 12 when you picked up this game.
>Implying a bunch of grognards didn't complain like this when 3E replaced 2E.

>>53573121
I think the hull mounted gun is fine. I agree with the other people. The more you take off the turret, the better it gets. If I got one I probably wouldn't bother gluing on the missiles and the minigun.

>>53573008
I said the very same on some thread in March.

It's a fairly accessory on vehicles.

>>53573137
Looks like an assault cannon to me.

>>53573085

It's not the flying part that I don't like, it's the mini-guns and all the attachments that makes it look too hard sci-fi for the usual 40K fare. Maybe people want that now but it's not really the baroque design that I would associate with 40K.

You see, if they'd been smart and name-dropped "Archmagos Mechanicus Belisarius Cawl" as the current Fabricator General on some random ass heirarchy picture in the rulebook or one of the admech codexes, far FAR fewer people would be butthurt about this new wunderkind.

>>53572450
>>53572631
The thing is that Tank Destroyers only make sense because their profile is low as fuck. Since the Turret is the most commonly hit part of a tank, tank destroyers compensate for poor mobility with a low profile that was hard to detect once concealed and hard to hit once revealed. Having a fuckhuge turret completely negates that advantage. >>53572506 actually looks better and makes a hell of a lot more sense.

>>53573047
Every thread on /k/ where someone mentions a bradley, that vid shows up.

For good reason.

>>53573265

Yes they are, it's the kind of bullshit they put on modern western tanks.

40K has always been about quantity, they keep things simple and makes lots of them, more like the old Soviet designs where you had the equipment you needed for the job and that was it. But this isn't cool anymore and everything needs rails and fucking doo dads hanging off it.

Why the fuck are you sperging out over a matter of semantics anyway? I have no problem if people like it but you can't say it fits in with the current Imperial design aesthetic.

>>53572073
Hoover Dreadnought when?

>>53573008
Oh FFS I enjoyed studying roman history and that connection didn't even occur to me. Is it too much to hope that's intentional on GWs part?

>>53573307
I'm imagine that people would then be butthurt about how retarded the Admech's gotten when they have a dude from the Great Crusade capable of all this stuff as Fabricator General of Mars. I think it's a bit much in itself that they pulled a 10000 year old archmagos out their ass.

>>53573115
Assault cannons look like beefed up Gatling guns. That just looks like a minigun straight from a modern army kit.

>>53572073

About time SM got some sort of hover transport. It's crazy to think they're supposed to be the highly mobile strike force but certain IG regiments equipped entirely with valkyrie transports filled that role much better than SM did with their rhinos and razorbacks

>>53573314
You've not explained why it doesn't fir with Imperial design aesthetic.
You apparently just don't like the fact it can shoot missiles.

Apart from that it is essentially a predator crossed with a land speeder.

>>53573344
And it makes sense because its not 10000 old design but brand new.

They borrow from a lot, from the first Mark V up to the 1960's but it tends to stop around there.

This just looks like something from battlefield 5.

It would look great as a Custodian rhino though.

>>53572073
so are those rocket pods externally mounted onto the hull, and the rockets are just really small/short.
or are they longer, and the pods extend into the hull?

I remember when you got a £25 rulebook and a £10 codex and played the game, now you need a £40 rulebook, a £30 codex except half your units are in a £20 supplement, and your latest units and formation of choice are in a £35 campaign book (part 2 of 3). I can't believe people fall for it.

>And the ones on the sides, on top of the doors, are sunken into the hull. How much more discreet can you get?

The corvus has 3 ports for the missiles. This tank has 6, and is considerably smaller. Yes they don't have a huge profile but they are all way too close together, are still highly visible, and alongside the exterior storage boxes make this look like they just glued on too many bits.

This is NEW GW, in-universe justifications have gone right out the window.

Daily reminder that it's only retarded when GW does it.

Could be one of those "trophy system" things to intercept missiles.

>>53572506
God why does that look so much better? Its a shame, the only new primaris models I like are the basic troops, everything else is just eh or laughably bad.

>>53574698
Because the turret looks overstuffed and ridiculous

Geedubs can redeem themselves but it's still a long way to go.

>>53572506
Damn, that does look way better. I guess the turret it just too busy and full of shit or something.
Maybe if the turret were flatter and didn't have a million guns and random shit sticking out of it?

>>53574800
I like the crammed look though, it fits the new girlyman doctrine, I suppose

Chapter approved aren't codexes. That's their point balance update book among other random things.

Even slavtank loves them.

Well sure, wasn't that the premise of AdMech in 40k in the first place? Reverence of technology and in particular the form of prior technology as dogmatic religion? "Don't change it lest you anger the machine spirit" and all that. Unless they had an STC of an old design they stopped making it. Apparently what it took to shake things loose is a top-level Archmagos going radical. Loosing it as an absolute rule waters down the grimdark gothic bureaucracy of 40k a bit, but GW crossed that Rubicon with gathering storm months ago. And there is still a possibility that this is just a rediscovered STC.

Did Jes Goodwin get the sack or something?

has Keith Thompson ever got commissioned to do any 40k stuff?

Now that Is what the Space Wolves transport should have looked like.

It seems like GW are free to use music from any game using their license. You often hear the Mordheim soundtrack being used.

The pintle is optional. Just leave it off if you don't like it.

>>53573397
Sause? Is this a Forgeworld item - or someone else's creation?

>>53577428
Its weapon from 30k, rubric marines have it too.

>>53577428
They're from forgeworld. They're rotor cannons, not the same as assault cannons though.

>>53577428
It's from FW you silly wanker. They made plenty of underslug heavy weapons, even missile launchers, heahy bolters and lascannons. I like them.

Thanks.

>>53577464
No Rubric Marines have a variant of assault cannons, those are rotor cannons.

My money's on this being for all the weird shit we've seen rules for but hasn't been published anywhere yet; like that Hellforged Leviathan Dreadnought they teased.

>>53577633
That was a forgeworld model. It will be in the forgeworld chaos index released on launch day.

>>53573047
So basically the same as the BMP

>>53573077
I interpreted this as guided/NLOS missiles. A Javelin missile is shot straight up into the air then comes back down at the target, so general direction doesn't matter as much

M2 Bradleys have performed very well in the Gulf War and 2003 Iraq, its development was fucked and it would have been a bit of a mess in a European war but its found its niche

>forgeworld chaos index
nigga you what

>>53578115
We know Forgeworld will be releasing rules for all of their models for 8th ed, why would the rules for a FW model be in a GW publication?
