Seriously though, I've never seen this one before. I'll assume it's a custom fanmade, but I'd also like to hope the Imperium has ONE tank with a reasonable, no obvious exposed weakpoints, low profile, efficient design.
it would have to be a mashup of at least 2 chimera kits for that to work, since they don't have full tracks (the tops have track guards) and the sides are a little too flat. Also, Chimearas arent quite symmetrical front to rear anymore (it's subtle, but there is a definite 'front' and 'back' end...), and the old ones were taller than that.
In fact, it reminds me of a Forge World kit called the "Salamander Scout Vehicle" from around the time the Third War for Armageddon first entered the canon. Of course, that thing didn't have a turret ot even a roof...
Whatever this thing was to begin with, it's something unique and awesome now and that's enough for me. Go grind some heretics beneath its treads!
I'm not saying it couldn't be a GW kit, just that if it is then it's not a single, recent GW kit. It looks Forge World IMO, like something from the days of tank company variant armies...
Wait, why is Kubinek getting downvoted? I somehow understand my downvote, but why him? All he said that it looks a bit like a churchill, and frankly, it does: Wiki.worldoftanks.com
Tell me that it doesn't at least remind you of a Churchill.
needs more dakka...
yesss...very much unlike the imperium to only include ONE gun on a tank
TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION! HERESY!

I'd buy it.
Forgeworld? it looks very good indeed.. and if I had to guess I'd say that's a bigger version of a multi-laser for the turret, or a las cannon
it's look like a churchill tank bit
Id even go as far as to say that it was based on a Churchill Kit.
Nope, its based on Chimera. Same hull shapes, same side armor design and Leman Russ turret with Vanquisher cannon.
