DOH! looking at the comparisons it shows a GZG copperhead APC against a chimera and they look pretty much the same in size. I havent got any of GZG 6mm myself as I have just started Epic a little while ago.

If you don;t get any joy here I would give Jon at GZG a call or email him and ask him the question, I have bought 15mm minis from him over the years and he has always been helpfull with questions

Thanks, i just dont get why they dont have more pics and a stated hull length-im sure it would result in more sales for them.

I'm fairly confident the APCs here are Copperheads:

http://the-epic-gamer.blogspot.com/search/label/GZG

The old CMD Future Wars tanks are great models in my opinion. They might be a stretch with E40k Valhallans but the SM/TL guardsmen would work with them. I used the Command Horizon Baccus figs with them.

I can see about a comparison shot if you like, but those bases are .75"x1.25". So they're narrower and shorter than Chimera but longer.

Thanks, if you can post a pic that would be great, i think ill get a small order in and go from there - i dont know if they will become guard or traitors but i think with a slight build up of the base they will be fine height wise-GW throw the scale out as marines are 7-8ft tall (and thus require 8mm scale) and for some reason IG vehicles are just as big.

Ok got my order today-

Im a tiny bit disappointed with the size of the Bugs but all the tanks i ordered are great with several types being a fair bit larger than i expected (good thing).
Many of the items i ordered had no pic on site and turned out to have huge main guns (again good).
The service was very efficient (weekend order and arrived tuesday) and i even got some free 15mm inf samples thrown in.
I cant reccommend them too highly and will be ordering again soon but they really need a rocket up the bum with the photo situation on site -it must be costing them a fortune in missed orders.

I will post up pics when assembled but anyone thinking of ordering go for it.

I doubt we'll ever see pictures for them before they change owners. Jon makes more than enough money of the 15mm stuff. There 6mm stuff doesn't get much attention (although that's probably due to a lack of photos...)

Yeah. I've never bought a thing from them, in large part because of the complete lack of photos.

I think i will order more of the 8 wheeler as a Leman Russ proxie for my traitors, i think they look good as an urban passification vehicle and on some you even get a built in turret figure.
