Just ordered some SHT's from Forgeworld, would anyone have size comparison pics with those of SG? I have a couple (SG) already and was wondering if they would fit together. (if not there could be a couple on offer in the near future) |

The FW models are somewhat larger than the SG ones. I tend to use them in seperate IG armies (Metal ones in my Desert IG and FW for my Cadians) Uhm.. haven't got a proper comparison pic but I do have a recent overall shot of my Imperial army. There's some FW SHTs in the upper left corner. Pretty dark in the pic but I hope it gives at least some impression of the size difference. http://uk.f1.pg.briefcase.yahoo.com/bc.....view=l Cheers!

Yup, I have them all, the F/W S/Heavies are bigger than G/W's and G/W's L/Russes are bigger than F/W's ...  But in my opinion, it is not a problem. If you look at AFVs in the France '40 campaign, the German (and Czech 35t and 38t), French and U.K. tanks varied in sizes greatly. So if you need a real world precedent there it is. Otherwise, it is typical of G/W-S/G and F/W coordination, there is very little ! The F/W Valkyries vs S/G's ... we really don't need both ! But that has been the norm forever !

I included comparison shots in my original review on Epic40K.com. http://www.netepic.org/EPIC40k/html/fwbladesreview.html Or if you want to see all the reviews, go to the EpiCenter & click on the "Original Epic40K.com website" link at the bottom. The reveiws can be found in the Articles section from the top links. |

Well T/S ... "a pic is worth a 1000 words !" You said it all right there. Great models (as usual) !

Ta very much all, that's what I thought, significantly larger, but also a couple of pounds cheaper (esp with free postage) now I'm not sure what to do, any offers for a shadowsword and a baneblade (SG)? or do I keep them in reserve? |

The size differance is why I sold off the FW ones I bought and kept my originals. Too much of a size change for me to live with.  dafrca |

Hi! I like the FW better, since the scale is truer to size. My FW collection far outstrips the amount of metal ones... Primarch |

I stick with the metal SG ones purely for size. THe FW ones look a bit bare/plane in places aswell. |

Hi! Once you're at my "level" of collecting, pricing is everything. a single metal tank at current prices isn't good. I rather have 3 FW ones for their price. Its cost effective. Never thought I'd say that about FW stuff, but thats about the size of it. Primarch |

You are so nice to accept them all. Me, I am a size snob, I want the same vehicle to be the same size in my whole force, small as it is. ?  dafrca |

As I said, historically, it works and from a 40K standpoint (?) ... size may vary from system to system ...

Hi! Dafrca, the remedy is to make "primarchload" forces. At those numbers size truely does NOT matter..... Primarch |

Ah to dream... Yes, I have thought of that, but at this point I am lucky to have 1/10th of the forces Primarch has. To be honest, my next goal is to make sure in my next house there is a room that is just for me and my "stuff".I want to put it out so I can see it. I hate the brown transports my armies are in right now. dafrca |
