Why That's a WWI Tank!

I showed my 72 year old father my red blood angles land raider, and the first thing he said was that it was a neat WW1 tank. I identify guard with WW1, but haven't really thought of space marines as futuristic antiques as well.

    Oh yeah, the LR is definitely based on old WWI British tank designs.

    Just like the Rhino is based on the M113 and the Chimera on the BMP.

    As a coincidence, my SoB Rhinos are M113's...

    Funny, I actually used a 1/35 Emhar mk I "male" as a Land Raider: http://musingsofametalmind.blogspot.com/2010/01/seats-12-comfortably.html
