I know these are Rhinos, a Land Raider and a Thunderhawk. Were they used as objectives or some type of bogged-down marker? I guess with the Thunderhawk it's likely an objective.

There are no markings on the bottom but I'm assuming these were official GW items. I believe the two Rhinos together are meant to be cut-apart. The edges around the others look like they were cut out as well.

No markings on the bottom ..

Where did you get these?
I'm thinking these could have been someones attempt at homecasting?

They were included in a large collection I purchased recently. These are purposely designed to look like they are stuck in the ground, not an attempt at making a full vehicle.

I agree with Parintachin they do look like home castings. Although if painted right would make great scenery. Especially the Thawk as it has that slumped look that crashed aircraft get!

I love buying job lots. i have got a few off of Ebay and its like a mini Xmas.

third vote for (pretty poor) home cast here, what is the underside like – if they look like there were done in a one part mould then no way they were GW. Thunerhawk is fun though.

Home casts for sure. They were cast from the plastic rhinos and land raiders. That grainy look is also something I associate with poor quality home casting.

Don't get me wrong, they're fun and great objectives, but not official I don't think.

I'm going with homemade bootlegged jobs too ... As noted ... they'd make good Objectives or just battlefield scatter terrain for cover ... Blown-up stuff ain't supposed to be pretty ...

I asked the seller about it and he said the same thing, got them in a trade and he thinks they were homemade as well.

They're a pretty off thing to make casts of. It probably cost more money in rubber and metal than just using the old plastic stuff to make them.

I know, they are really heavy too. Lead maybe? I think the Land Raider (which is only the top half) is heavier than the original.

I just used a digital scale to weigh the Land Raider objective and it's 1.3 oz. A metal land raider from this time period weighs 1.2 oz. Keep in mind this objective is just the upper 1/4 of a land raider sticking out of the ground. I realize this was made from a plastic land raider so the design is not exactly the same.

I'll likely keep them and paint them up as terrain/objectives.

Definitely worth keeping.
Great talking point.

I would keep them too. Paint them up as over grown wrecks. Be great objectives "retrieve the missing relic" type things.
