Well on my recent trip over the Fenris Games' workshop, (;) ) Ian dug out another old vehicle he mastered a while back, (if you remember he did this with the other Sci-fi APC/Marauder and I posted up and poll and ta da etc....).

This has a real 2000AD Judge Dredd flavour to it, but could also be used for any number of Hard Sci-fi, post apoc games.

By Ian's own admission, the lettering needs removing and starting again and the master, much like the last vehicle, needs a bit of work.

Anyway here are the pics now vote away!

Maybe should the forward face be modified (from spheric thingy to 3 big headlights => more conventionnal cabin) to become less scifi and usable for near future/zombie/SWAT.  ::)

A bit of tweaking  here and there , an airlock on the cab and some knobbly tyres , and it would make a great Moon bus . :-*

It's beautiful.  I personally think the lettering is fine as-is.  I would recomend that you have an option fo rrear tracks as well as the wheel option.  The rear area looks large enough to accomodate a track.  Otherwise it's great.

Nice but very chunky so wouldn't it be quite expensive?

All it needs it a bumper sticker "My other cars a hover"...

Dunno mate, you ask him when you're in the workshop next. (There are arcane ways around this young padawan apparently ;)).

I'd take it as is but without the lettering.

I dunno - I like the back a lot, but I am just not exciterated by the front of the vehicle. Feels "we ran out of cool earth cars for Transformers so we're making s$!* up' to me.

Fantastic.

Please without the lettering. The lettering limits the usage.

Like Sinewgrab, I like the back half... but the front doesn't appeal to me... it looks random kit bash, not stylish.

I tried to like it but I guess it really isn't my cup of tea. It might be more convincing to me with bigger wheels but then again if this thing is only for cruising the streets then bigger wheels would not be necessary. In general it's not something I'd buy unless I somehow find a really good use for it like the last vehicle, which I liked better.

I think it looks too much like a subway train too me.
Let me hear the battle cry
Calling on the wind
Let me see the banners fly
