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.

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. |
