What's an Imperium Saber?

[Ti Pouchon]

Title says it all, I just have a dumb question.


Is that the "Sabre Tank Hunter" Rhino variant? Or something else entirely? I've never heard of it.

 

[ManicMan]

ah, the sabre..
and yes. WD120 gave you the instructions and pattern to make it. Rhino body with land raider parts and with new gun barrel on one side and some extra armour plating (card patterns given)

Tony Cottrell's Dark Angels version

Subsequently revamped as a resin kit by Forge World: https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Sabre_Strike_Tank

How long before it “returns” to a plastic kit I wonder…

 

[ManicMan]

eww... If I make one, I'll stick to the original, thank you very much ^_^

 

[Eric]

Yeah, ditto. Not sold on that redesign.

 

[Slave to Darkness]

Rhino chassis or not interested.

 

[Brother Meredith]

Don’t worry not asking anyone’s preference!! Kinda goes without saying on this forum…

However, I quite like the redesign, plays homage to the Rhino chassis, but has a different enough favour to distinguish it from a Rhino with a pen sticking out of it.
Perhaps a slightly thicker cannon with greater housing on the body would look a little less awkward?
