This thread realates to my Battletech army but may have positive results for for our epic armies.  

While at the local store today I picked up a pack of Reaper's Cav Hedgehog APCs.

This was the original scuplt so was closer to 6mm than the games 10mm scale.  

My intention was do look for some from of "dropship" for my battle armor.  For those not familar with Battltech or the Battlearmor if you think of Terminator suits your not far off.  

The Reaper has serveral dropships style APCs that apeal to me such as the Badger

and Lynx

So I broke open the Blister and I set them up with some Epic vehicles, a space marine, and lone DRM trooper, and some CBT Battle Armor.

And you thought we had scale issues in the Gw verse...

So the battle armor are clearly too large and would look akward if they were "to deplay from the Hedgehog.

Still it's not a total loss the Hedgehog appears to fit well with the Epic vehicles and infantry.

Perhaps they can be used as a light dropship for the IG. Similar to the Valkyrie

Still not all hope is lost.  Reaper is now making these APCs/Dropships in N scale (10-11mm) so maybe the laerg one will work as my Battlearmor transport.

Solution: glue the Hedgehog over the Rhino and have it transport the beastie ful of marines (yeah, how many marines can fit in a Rhino...?).
:;):  :D  :D  :D
