OOOH an assault vehicle!  :P

Looks like it kicks the Bradley's ass, so I'll certainly be thinking about it. ;)

A bit OTT for my liking (I suppose they are aiming at GW 40K audience); but yet, it's an impressive piece. I may get one...

For the 40K crowd, it is perfect but for a more restrained approach, replace the main gun with a smaller barrelled weapon and remove the chain gun and it would be a pretty cool armoured car.

I like it :) .

Get rid of the flamer thing and use the chain gun thingie as the main gun then a turret mounted machine gun on top and it will look kinda like one of those US APC's

I have to agree, replace the current turret with a more conventional one, or even no turret, just a hatch and a .50 caliber or a .30 caliber machine gun, and this would make a great Military vehicle or even a nice SWAT APC.

Not a bad looking vehicle.

I for one am getting tired of concept art coming out WAY before release... could be a while before we see this, considering it is a computer render.
a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice.

saw this a while ago - not keen on the main weapon but it won't stop me buying a couple (I cheekily messaged the guy and offered to paint one for free - he politely declined!). Jed had a pic somewhere of variants ....oh, here you go - Deviant Art

Oh man, I can see myself picking up a few of these!  And they say 28mm (my fav!) is coming out first, possibly followed by 15mm later.
