 <p>When I saw Warhammer 40,000 Astra Militarum's <a href="http://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Taurox">Taurox vehicle</a> I thought it was a custom mix half-buggy half-tank thought from scratch...</p> <p><img alt="Taurox" src="https://images.kartones.net/posts/theelderthoughts/misc/astra_militarum_taurox.jpg"></p> <p> </p> <p>But it looks it's based on the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MRAP">MRAP</a> concept (Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle):</p> <p><img alt="MRAP" src="https://images.kartones.net/posts/theelderthoughts/misc/mrap.jpg"></p> <p>Of course it has tank tracks instead of wheels, and MARPs are not just one specific design but a grouping of similar armoured anti-explosive vehicles (at the Wikipedia link there are a dozen more photos), but the similarities are abundant.</p>
