Hi guys, I have a dilemma, I am working on making a land raider, my initial idea was using a Char B1 bis (green one) as a land raider and the Mk 4 (grey one) as a Leman Russ for my 15mm Imperial guard, heres my dilemma, the green one makes the better Land raider, but I think it may be to small, the grey one makes the better Leman Russ, but I think the bigger size would be better for the land raider, so which one should be which? What's your opinion, or should I look at other options? If I used the grey as a land raider, I would remove the rivets, but leave them on for a Leman Russ, also the direction the grey one faces would change depending on if it is a Leman Russ or land raider, both will have gun sponsons on the sides, and hull mounted heavy bolters at the front, check my blog for more Picts.

Gray LandRaider and Green Leman Russ

Leman Russ I would go with Proxie models. Another option would be the Flames Of War TOG.

Hi DG, Proxie models LR is tiny, (from the Picts I have seen) and the TOG is to skinny for my liking, but thanks for the ideas, they are helpful.

My only input is that the green tank is too small to be a land raider… the grey one looks a more appropriate size.

Another idea check out the Kickstarter for Alls Quiet On The Martian Front. The American tanks might provide some interesting options.

Think about 1:76 smaller atypical tanks.

Thanks guys, thinking I will use the grey as a Russ, and scratch build a land raider, when they are done I will cast them, so I don't have to scratch build every vehicle.
