Come see the custom Land Raider that had treadheads buzzing back in the day.


Right around the time of the release of Apocalypse 40k, some one at the old Game Workshop US headquarters in Baltimore made this awesome conversion. It wasn’t long before a datasheet came out for it (and a conversion guide as well), so everyone could make it.
And thusly the Land Raider Ares was born.
