Back when I started playing 40k, this is closer to what Land Raiders looked like. Though, it was hard to find those really old kits and the “new” kit was still years away. Nowadays, we’re getting a new kit that emulates that classic look with a new Land Raider Proteus set coming soon for The Horus Heresy.
From the article:
Before the Spartan Assault Tank, before the Termite Assault Drill, and before the mighty Mastodon, there was one true king of armoured troop conveyance – the Land Raider. Many patterns of these lumbering tanks exist in Legion armouries, but none have the pedigree of the venerable Land Raider Proteus, which now returns to the Age of Darkness with a new plastic kit.
Dating back to the Dark Age of Technology, these vehicles are no less capable of surviving the harsh realities of civil war than their more spritely cousins, exhibiting uncommonly strong influence from their machine spirits. There are stories of these tanks continuing to blast away as their crew lie dying, or rumbling back to base with damage that would wreck lesser machines.
