Warzone Resurrection Unboxing: Mk.55 Capitol Bully

To be fair 30k and 40k have they share of silly designs and we that play either or both of those rarely let that stop us enjoying those so why should this case be any different. I mean saying that one thing is right in one case but not in other is very hypocritical.
Good point well made.
Come on Justin, let John have an opinion 🙁
look like a good tank/self propelled gun.
