Land Raiders

 So one of the most iconic tanks of the 41st Millennium is the Land Raider. And after the short story about The Crimson's Fists Land Raider Rynn's Might, White Dwarf Article in 3rd edition I fell in love with them. 

From the Warhammer 40k Wiki:

Rynn's Might - Rynn's Might is a Land Raider Phobos of the Crimson Fists Space Marine Chapter, after surviving a rouge missile that destroyed the Chapter's Fortress-Monastery the Machine Spirit of this vehicle waged a solo war against the Orks that attacked the Crimson Fists' homeworld of Rynn's World, even though the tank did not survive the battle it managed to kill the Ork Warboss and many of his followers in a single night, this act remains a testament to the awesome power of the Land Raider and its Machine Spirit.

Through the years I always try to attach Land Raiders to armies and outside of my Space Wolves I never really used them that often. In the current Adeptus Astartes meta Primaris and my personal favorite unit Scouts can not be transported in them so they are being shelved by most players. 

My Grey Knights have intentions on using them.

Vortimer Pattern

Crusader Pattern

Mk IIb 

Phobos Pattern

I purchased a Forgeworld Vortimer Land Raider a while back when I was planning a Grey Knights army.  it. I just checked my FW account and it was before 01/21/2016.....so yeah I've been sitting on this kit for a few years

And I have 2 Deathwatch Land Raider kits I purchased when they were released. And were the best deal for Land Raiders as it was the Phobos/ Crusader/ Redeemer in one box. 

During Covid last year I decided I was going to buy one of the two Land Raiders on my list of Land Raiders from Forge World I wanted:

Mk IIb

Prometheus

Knowing the Mk IIb is just a standard Land Raider I choose that as I could not field a Prometheus in Grey Knights. 

To make my Mk IIb unique and a Relic I headed over to Blood and Skulls and purchased this for it.

plus a course I found Aquilas to add to the track. 

With 4 Land Raiders I feel Like I need a Fifth. But we will see after I do inventory on them this weekend. My ultimate goal is to have the 2 deathwatch ones magnetized to be all 3 variants and have the Mk IIB for Purifiers.
