I can't remember seeing this posted previously so I'll just post it here for convenience:

The Epic Archive section of the US online store has been deleted and replacet with an E:A section. It says that Epic will become available again in the US by mid-May.

Cheers!

That's what the Troll told me yesterday ... E:A in May.  So I'm betting June-August ... based on G/W's past release prophesies ... :;):

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.

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 !   :angry:

I included comparison shots in my original review on Epic40K.com.

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.  :{

Hi!

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

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.

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. ?:D
