Very nice paint job.  The added parts are, of course, fairly evident to 40k players, but it certainly plays the part.

I particularly like the wear around the central roof hatches.

excellent paintjob etc

40K with USMC mqarkings looks disturbing though  ;)

This is awesome.
I was planning to do a similar thing.
What are you going to use it for? SotR?
Dust maybe?

It certainly looks the part, though it could have used a mounted machine gun or something.

Incidentally, this seems to be just the Us marine chapter. ;)

Whilst not a fan of GW stuff these days in general I do like what you've done there!

the USM were created by man.....

they look human...

some of them think they have feeelings....

they rebelled....

Nice paintjob - an some intereresting re-purposing.

Have you seen the AT-43 ONI vehicles?

These may be a useful source if you are planning to add to your USMC or fancy dabbling with more generic/less well known vehicles.

Nice job - great paint-job, beautiful weathering, and nice use of it for something other than 40K. It makes me think that a modified/converted rhino might be just the ticket for a salvage vehicle for Star Mogul. Great work!
