Description
Warhammer 40K - Imperial Guard - Astra Militarumthis is a collage of my drawings about some new Imperial Guard vehicles...obviously it's another wonderful idea that no one that works in GW can see, so I have no possibility to work for them and bla bla...
A scout Car ! We need a name for it ! maybe a name of a Greek God ...in any case something with a mith-style-name or monster (chimera, Basilisk, Colossus, Manticora, Griffon...). It can be open topped, armoured or less armoured. The purpose on the battlefield is a fast vehicle for fast attacks, patrols, officer transport, anti-guerrilla tactics. I've suppose an anti-AA variant, moving the 4x4 wheels becoming a turret for air defense. .
The Halftrack (really and really close to the WWII Wehrmacht style) because yes! I love this design, and because the Standard Chimera is like an amphibious APC and I've yet prepared new version for it ( I upload them soon).
Trucks: I've used a Soviet-era Russian firefighters truck as reference ( I really love the Russian trucks design). The purpose is the logistic transport of troops and weaponry on the front, so the direct fight is not advised. The vehicle is used by imperial military forces and by civilians (hahah civilians in Wh40K Universe !(Genestealers Cult and Chaos worshippers I'm speaking to you))
Have you any ideas and feedback on these concepts ? I'm still searching names for them we can open a contest for that

A halftrack is something I would love to see. Aye, there is the Taurox, but those small tracks are quite laughable. Give me some mighty SDKFZ-style tracks!

WWII German vehicles are poetry

I love the designs, my only gripe with them are the half-track ones. I don't like how the track involves the front wheel, makes it more a full-track if anything and looks bad to boot.
I agree with some of the other commenters that the latin name for werewolf (lycan) and variants of it would be fitting of the Guard's mythical beast naming convention. It is also a sorta reference to the Space Wolves, after whose primarch the Imperial MBT is named.
I must complement you on the sheer variaty of variants you have made based on this design, it is very inpressive and looks very possible to become a model. I have long advocated for some more motorized vehichles (trucks, ATV's, staff cars) in the very mechanized Guard. I mean I like the Tauros and Taurox, I would also like the Goliath, Achilles and Atlan vehichles to be integrated into the Guard. But that likely wont happen for a while, if at all.

Ops ! yes it's my fault and sloth to reuse another assets. It wouldn't be an halftrack but a monotrack, or at least two different tracks for the front and for the rear.
Yepp Lycan is fitting very well !
Once I saw a book of Imperial Armour with many vehicles of the Imperial Guard...Such a great inspiration !

Maybe a lycaon for the scout car? They were mythical werewolves.

Valhallans got anti-grav vehicles? Man somebody in the Departmento Munitorum must have crush on them.

In effect from this view it can seem an Anti-Grav but for the concept the 4x4 wheels move down becoming 4 support-feet for a stationary heavy fire from the primary weapon. So the car hold the fire with more precision

But in any case...do you think that the guard could have some Anti-grav vehicles ?, or it would be so much high-tech, so not so orthodox

Damn your utility vehicles do look like they'll fit right into the guard. Shame there will never be official models.
For the scout car I think Crocotta would be a fitting name for it.
