Does anyone have any ideas what imperial civillan vehicles look like? I'd like to have a few wrecked or abandoned in the maps were planning.
Have they evre been shown or described in the fluff? or are we free to make them up?

I really think it's depending upon the world they live on.
For a heavily industrialized world, I would think most transport was via public trains/metro.
But I can imagine an attack bike with less armor and no guns, as well as unarmored land speeders with windows for rich people. And cars would probably still be in fasion on some worlds.
And small aircrafts/starships like in Star Wars.
No teleports. As written in the Eisenhorn triology, teleports are extremely rare artifacts from the dark age of technology, and they are almost exclusivly used by Terminator squads.

I'd go for heavy looking vehicles... loud looking. The type of city you want wouldn't be very advanced tech... if you're going for hover, go for a very low hover tech, possibly involving some steam  |

anyone seen the movie "Immortal" by Enki Bilal?
the style of the "cars" there (although they do hover) would fit pretty well into 40k i think.
some steampunk-concepts would fit as well.
you could even try to get a hand on the shadowruns 2nd. Ed. "Riggers Blackbook". there are a few nice designs too.

only thing ive ever seen is converted stealer cult stuff, using civilian vechiles and turning them into weapon toating mini tanks.
mianly i think it will vary from planet to planet but i would think that it would be similar to what we have today,although more in function than form given the imperium styling.

You could use the white HL2 car, re-texture it and add some sort of wheels?

A walking population is much easier to control apprently... Although being a capital city I imagine there will be public transport laid on. Quite how you apply imperial gothic to tube trains and trams I dont know  Prehaps a few hover limos for the higher up imperial clergy, but they will probably have fled already... I brought the subject up because i'm not comfortable with using HL2 cars in a 40k city, it just doesnt feel right to me. |

Depending on the world, yes.
They do walk or sail everywheree on Fenris, the viking-age planet of Space Wolves recruitment, but they wouldn't do that in a 'modern' city.

mad idea :!:
I was thinking about how walkers, like the IG sentinel would be used in civillan life and this mad picture of a sedan chair being carried by a pair of walking machines sprang to mind. While I type the idea refines itself as mechanical horse or walking motorbike.
