Saw this a few days ago.. what a good excuse to crush cars and churn up the mud

Its human scale rather than astrates scale.. but that just means its practical if I buy one

Does that still cost 35pts?? And can you fit 10 Marines inside...

Madness!

Yes it does, but each point costs $25,000 (Don't know how many pounds that converts to) remember, this is a military vehicle, money is no object.

Of course you can, these are marines we're talking about here!

It would be about £17,000 Per point.. now thats expensive!!

these go in military surplus sales @ £7000 to £11000 depending on condition.. so that's an overpriced 35pt transport :p

Pfft. . . that is soooo inaccurate. Their oversized conversion has too many road wheels. It is soo not authentic.

You know, the best thing of that video is that is shows where the mud would be on a rhino so that when I paint mine, I can make it look more realistic.

I thought the same thing when I looked at it the first time. The best part is that it shows the progression of weathering as the tank is operated. It starts out with a few dirt streaks, then some mud splashes, then clumps of sod clinging to the rear of the tank. Lot of good material for modelers!

I think your price is a bit low.
If they painted it with GW paint, as they said they did, I think the cost would have been around £1000000.

At least if they paid their own price for the paint.

Yes, but if they were smart enough to buy it through Gaming Figures, they would get 20% off the top, and then an additional 5% off of the purchase being over 100 pounds (sorry, have to write it out, don't have a pound symbol on my keyboard, bloody stupid made in USA stuff ) but then they would have to put that savings somewhere else, very unmititarylike!

That is just horrible.

"unmititary."
I tried to look this up and got a picture of Frankie Howard.
No, no, titter ye not.

I looked it up and got a reference to Rory Gallagher

When I looked up Frankie Howerd, I learned that he died the day before Benny Hill! I recall watching both these men on the TV. Thanks you getting me looking Ruffian, and may the sod clogs clinging to your rear have no effect on you movement rate!

I was using your discount prices when I did my rough estimate of paint cost.

As for the pound sign, I cut & pasted from the quoted text. For some reason that worked.
