Thanks Jimbo. With GW's current thing with Epic, making everthing a "realistic" size, I would say the new CI would be, dare I say it, bigger than the one in the picture!!!!
Cheers
Chris
PS I also can't wait for a new Hellbore. We'll just have to keep pestering Jervis for one

Hi!
I wouldn't get my hopes up on getting the e-bay CI cheap. I have seen CI's on e-bay before they start out innocently enough, but I have yet to see one go for under 70 bucks. I'd definately wait for the new one, you can probably get too for the price of one on e-bay.

An Epic CI in scale might be closer to the size of a 40K Rhino ?!

I, for one, am a split between being excited that the Mofos are making a CI and completly dreading the new model along with the new price.

I would guess that the newer CI (under the new Forge World scale system) would be about equivalent to the Tau Manta...  _________________ https://www.cybershadow.ninja - A brief look into my twisted world, including wargames and beyond. https://www.net-armageddon.org - The official NetEA (Epic Armageddon) site and resource.

The size of a Manta!!!!!!!!!!!! I can see it now, on one side the CI, the other a Manta. They unleash there troops within. I would predict the CI gets shot to bits, coz the manta can cary tanks.
Cheers
Chris

I believe the old CI could carry tanks too though Chris, (at least I've seen dioramas featuring them with tanks disembarking form the rear ramp...)

Oh yes, now we have a real fight on our hands. Tanks disembark all over the battlefield, causing devestation wherever they roam.
Anyone for a CI that can Fly???
Cheers

Not only could they carry a tank company, I have a memory of them carrying a superheavy company.
Of course, it could be the fevered imaginings of an addle-brained recovering SM junkie.
