Apparently, this was ordered by Games Workshop/THQ to promote the computer game "Dawn of War 2". :bow:






HERE'S a video of it on YouTube.

Strange how this is exactly like the whiffing we do, right? Take a vehicle and slap on plastic (or steel) sheet till it looks the way we want it to. :lol:
Cheers,

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

I remember them from when i worked at GW, they were a mixture of plastic, foam, expanded poly and fibre glass....looked good but really hard to wear, they also did a 2/3 size drednought and imperial guard uniforms........never saw them again after the publicty shots so don't know where they are now
Everything looks better with the addition of British Roundels!
