To be honest, I thought at first glance that someone had decided to try converting a Churchill tank into a gaming piece for WarHammer40K but that proved to be my own ignorance on the subject. Turns out the British Army did experiment with a huge recoiless demolition gun that was mounted on the Churchill but it appears to have been a prototype only. Still a very impressive looking vehicle with that huge gun tube.
