Hi!
I definately agree they are excellent proxies!
By the way does GW still make the tarantula or rapiers for epic? Any one know the codes?

I don't see them in the 2003 listings...  ?
And that Giap Grav vehicle looks like a Tempest to me...

Legion-4,
I hope you can forgive me. I edited and updated your last post with hyperlinks to the proxies you mentioned.
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Check out this new release from Reaper:
7056: Grundor House Hunter
http://www.reapermini.com/scifi....=7056_G
I don't know what it should be (some kind of superheavy?), but it's a great looking piece of lead.
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

That Hunter looks like a Sci-fi T-34 !!!

Very T-34, I agree..
I think it's the turret so far forward that does it...
The tracks look a little vulnerable though....

Hi!
Yes, the OGRE stuff is pretty good. I picked up a copy of the game when it came out. It wasn't my cup of tea, but the minis made very good proxies. The infantry is pretty close to 6mm, although I think it's probably scaled at 7-8mm like BT.

The OGRE Infantry are a little large, bigger than an Ogryn, almost Warmaster size, but those Heavy Weapons would work great. ?
Also for the Chaos players, the OGRETHULU model would make a great Daemon Engine and they have some mutated Spawn Infantry that would work too. ?

The buildings are few but nice and some of their other AFVs would fit in well in an IG force.
I have 3 OGREs in my Eldar Forces (from a Crone World).

Hi!
I had the same thought regarding the Ogrethulu model, very chaos-like.

Definitely chaos influence there!

I really liked the idea of the Ogrethulhu stuff, but the miniatures are somewhat lacking, imho. They look like 1980's Grenadier to me.
Of course, there's one in the half-price bin at my local shop, so I may buy one yet...
