Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader had loads of vehicle options, from the infamous Grav Attack Vehicle to the common Rhinos, Land Raiders and Jetbikes. Not all the vehicles in the main rulebook got kits, not even all got illustrations. One example is the mysterious Stegatank (p.112) - the only clue to it's appearance is that it should be "based on a multi-limbed plastic kit" - indicating it should probably not be bipeadal.

Zoids share much of the military industrial tech aesthetic as 40k. Zoids also appear all over Oldhammer - posters in Warhammer Fantasy Battles 3rd Edition, to the basis and weaopnsystems for the Tony Cottrells 28mm scale Scout Titans (White Dwarf 120), the Ground Hog and the Deo Tank (White Dwarf 95), they were undoubtedly an influence on the GW design studio at the time.

Stegatank is a portmanteau of Stegosaurus and Tank - the giant monster machine The Great Gorgon aka Gordos - combining a mechanical Stegosaurus and a Tank makes it the ideal candidate heavy armour for the grim dark battlefields of the 41st Millennium.

Edit - forgot to mention that the 40K:RT Stegatank standard weapons are two forward firing Las-cannons, which is exactly the same as The Great Gorgon main armaments!

I did this out of my office the other day, my favourite era of GW...

Some Athena miniatures hobgoblins painted in the AD&D style. These match up nicely with the old C36 set. Hobgoblin Command

Hey, just wanted to show off some space goblin sculpts/paint jobs of mine (renegade 93 miniatures) I wanted these guys to be more similar to the3rd WHFB goblin look than what came later with 2nd edition 40k. I was particularly inspired by the old monopose plastics of my childhood! Hope you like this speculative late 80s approach!

I know this is a chaos renegade with heavy weapons but ive never seen this sculpt with a skull for a face is this a conversion or just a rare sculpt
