  The contrast between the endearing passion of 40k hobbyists and them constantly taking the piss out of the people running the whole thing reminds me of my Catholic upbringing

  Youre going to have Poorhammer knocking on your door if you keep claiming people have to pay for Rhinos 😂

  Woah okay, i litteraly JUST clicked on the vid, he INSTANTLY talks about the tank, no intro, no long ass stories on how he bought it, no bullshit... Straight to the point.<br><br>Beautifull. Simply perfect. You sir have my respect.<br><br>AND WE CAN EVEN SKIP THE SPONSORSHIP SECTION. Absolute legend. I&apos;ll pray for your pillows to remain fresh on both sides forever.

  The block of wood at the back is supposed to be an unditching tool I believe, in case the tank gets stuck. Wooden logs or beams were sometimes used as improvised armour as well, but given it’s placement I don’t think that’s what they’re going for here.<br><br>As an aside, if you ever get the chance I’d recommend checking out some of Rubicon Models’ tank kits- they’re technically in the same scale as warhammer, although due to 40k tanks being massive in-universe they tend to be a bit smaller, unless you’re looking at something like a King Tiger. Quality-wise they’re tied with GW and Victrix’s new releases imo!<br><br>EDIT: also, regarding Guilliman Blue, I don’t have a bottle to compare them, but Duncan Rhodes’ Two Thin Coats range has a similar blue glaze, that might be of interest,

  the log is used when the tank is stuck in muddy terrain. you put it under the tracks to give grip

  As someone who owns the model, just throwing on a pair of russ sponsons seems to beef it out is enough to justify calling it a rogal dorn. &nbsp;Genuinely love this kit, and I&apos;m glad to see it mentioned

  My spouse pointed out that the Guilliman Blue glaze looks like it&apos;s the blue that was discontinued because automakers stopped ordering it, and without them, there wasn&apos;t enough demand for that particular pigment. As, well, hobbyists and painters are a minuscule fraction of the automotive industry&apos;s buying power.

  So, this tank is a playable model in Mantic&apos;s Sci-Fi game Firefight, and they actually produce conversion kits to make it into an APC.

  Thanks for the shout out 😁. Awesome looking tank especially with that paint job. I did just bid on it but it&apos;s got away from me. &nbsp;I would go for the dorn proxi myself and find some places to add guns... cut the bottom out.

  The biggest giveaway that this isn&apos;t an official Games Workshop model is the fact that the tank makes sense in its design.

  Regarding the log: The Log(tm) was used to help with traction. If a tank ever got stuck in mud or boggy terrain, it would be put in front of the tracks to provide enough grip to get unstuck. You&apos;ll see them on the rear and sides of a lot of Soviet tanks, and on the side of Fury in the movie Fury
