needless to say, they wouldnt refuse me service, nor will they charge me.........if they wanted to live.
But in all honesty, the design isnt that bad. but could do with some improvements, the adjustable lets are a nice idea. but you would need much larger wheels such as those on 4x4 for all terrain use. or instead use omni directional wheels
also Id want it more like a Mech as I could get, so I wouldnt use tracks. I much rather the 4 wheels on a legs idea.
Two arms with Vulcans on each arm, with missile systems built into the arms them selfs so that they could pop out when armed (iron man style)

Tracks on legs would be inefficient. The additional weight of the tracks would cause additional strain to parts, when you could perform the same job with a single tire with lots of traction, it would weigh less, and be more maneuverable
Also You could incorporate a spike system alone side each tire to shoot a hydrolic spike into brick work so It would lift its self or have additional support in dodgy angles.

walkers would be a cool design.
A dual leg design would be hard to pull of and keep stable though, so a quadruped would be the design of choice for a walker. Would be fun too. wouldnt be a top speed machine, but it would be the easiest to build out the 3 ideas so far
Think I can get a £300,000 kickstarter to make one of these things?

Yeah the issue with the Warhammer concept, is that its a game. In real life there is this issue known as "Gravity - thou art a heartless bitch" So they would need a very wide base to be stable. or a very complicated design to keep them well balenced on a small frame. which is more effort than any of us are willing to do.
Adam, your little concept is a practical one. Wide base, four stilt legs for best balance, and the leg design would provide the abiltiy to raise and lower the cockpit.
