That looks like something from Warhammer 40k ! :eek: But seriously Armegeddon one of those !

See, I thought at first you'd found this (http://kynghistory.ky.gov/KYNG+in+Art/Other/3rd+Tank+Window+1962.htm?&pageOrder=0&selectedPic=3) or this (http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/server/show/nav.14374/chosenImageId/2) or the image near the bottom of this page (http://www.buildingconservation.com/articles/lestweforget/lestweforget.htm).

There's at least one more stained-glass church window image featuring a tank, though I'm having problems finding it at the moment....

[DusterBoy]

Gives a whole jnew meaning to the term "Church Militant", I'd say.

And Ninja-Bear, that was a really bad joke. :thumbdown :eek: :sick:

[Lawnmower Boy]

The sudden breaking hurricane of shells lights up the sky and smashes the front lines before fading away. The shellshocked defenders looking up --is it a feint of fire, or is the Big One coming down? Then, through the night ring the cathedral bells.

The tanks are coming.

I think I posted stats for this beast to Surbrooks page, if not, I will dig them up

I think I called it the XM-28 Bully Pullpit

[shadowcat1313]

theres a slightly different version I have seen that had a minnaret style spire, which gave the perfect excuse to fit it with an Apache Style MW radar

[Sociotard]

And the picture doesn't even show the driver armed with Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch!

[Kaeto]

It's the official Armored Vehicle of the new Knights Templar.

My family thinks I tell aweful puns too. But its not the end of the world. :)

The one on my page is an M-1A1, this looks Russian.

I want to make a character sheet for the M1A1 and place it in a PAH setting.

Pass the lord and praise the ammunition!

[Ninja-Bear]

I wonder if the Salvation Army has any like that ? And how much more would their donations go up at Christmas if the bell ringers were standing next to one ? :eek:

[rachelgreen]

come on guys, I think it's a good tank!

[DusterBoy]

come on guys, I think it's a good tank!

I don't recall anyone saying it isn't, Ms Green. When you've been here a bit, you'll understand how these threads work. :D

And it's good to have another newbie onboard. :)

The Vatican's newest secret weapon I presume.

Seriously though, how fast can the thing go? And isn't it a bit top heavy?

[Susano]

Well, it's a model, so it's not going anywhere... On the other hand, it's fairly wide, so balance might not be much of an issue.

I half suspected the thing was a model, it just looked too good, should have looked closer.

As for balance, imagine the thing trying to drive on a 30 degree slope, the thing would just tip over.

The thing's pretty, just not practical.

Well, if it was real, it would be a propaganda piece, not a war machine.

Yeah, that was what I was thinking.

[Ninja-Bear]

If this tank was set in the warhammer 40k world, you can bet that it would be workable. Surprised they haven't made a model like this yet.

[Susano]

They've come close. The Sister of Battle have something akin to this, IIRC.

[Tasha]

And the picture doesn't even show the driver armed with Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch!

That's been upgraded to the Holy Grenade Launcher of Antioch!

[Ninja-Bear]

You know who is driving this ? Its the Pale Rider!

[SvZurich]

Randall Flagg did it again! Co-opted the Fundies good this time! However, good luck turning the turret.
