Crusader III Cruiser Tank

The Crusader III cruiser tank was a British tank that was used during World War II. It was the third major variant of the Crusader tank, and it was the most widely produced version. The Crusader III was designed to be a fast and mobile tank that could be used for reconnaissance and flanking attacks. It was armed with a 6-pounder gun, which was a powerful weapon for its time.

This Crusader III was on display at the Tank Museum.

The Crusader III first saw action in the Second Battle of El Alamein in October 1942. It performed well in this battle, and it helped the British to defeat the Axis forces. The Crusader III continued to be used in North Africa, Italy, and the Far East. It was also used by the Free French Forces and the Polish Army.

The Crusader III had a number of advantages. It was fast and maneuverable, and it had a good gun. It was also relatively reliable, and it was easy to maintain. However, the Crusader III also had a number of disadvantages. It had thin armor, and it was vulnerable to enemy fire. It also had a cramped interior, and it was not very comfortable for the crew.

Overall, the Crusader III was a good tank for its time. It was fast, maneuverable, and armed with a powerful gun. However, it was also vulnerable to enemy fire, and it had a cramped interior. The Crusader III was replaced by the Cromwell tank in 1944, but it continued to be used until the end of the war.

Land Raider Crusader

The Land Raider Crusader is a variant of the standard Land Raider Phobos used by the Space Marines and the Inquisition. The Land Raider Crusader is rearmed to provide short-ranged, anti-infantry assault support for Astartes offensives.

The Land Raider Crusader is intended to be an assault-based variant of the Land Raider that is a linebreaker without peer. The Crusader can smash through enemy formations, shrugging off small arms fire in order to disgorge a squad of Space Marines into the heart of the foe.

In place of Lascannons, the Crusader is armed with Hurricane Bolters that cut down the first line of defenders before an assault is launched. A hull-mounted twin Assault Cannon adds to its formidable anti-infantry firepower, its Frag Assault Launchers suppressing the foe while the tank closes in. The Crusader also boasts an improved transport capacity by reclaiming the space normally given over to the Land Raider Phobos’ bulky las-power generators.

Witchhunter Crusader – Inquisitorial Henchmen

I am adding some Henchmen to my Inquistorial force. One of them is a Crusader. I believe that the Crusader adds another attack (and a wound) for the Witch Hunter Inquisitor, but I am not 100% sure on this.

The Crusader (and the Crusader variant available in the Witch Hunters’ retinue) are probably my favourite Inquisitor models.

I gave the Crusader a base coat of Bestial Brown.

Having flocked the base with Games Workshop modelling sand, the model was given a white undercoat.

Space Wolves Land Raider Crusader.

This Space Wolves army includes virtually (if not all) the Space Marine models and conversions from Forge World as well as all the plastic and metal models from Citadel.

It was on display at both GamesDay 2006 and GamesDay 2007.
