Nice, and you may actually get these before GW send the metal ones....

Remeber, I am in the US so I will not see the metal minis for a long time. Seems they have a much slower rate of release here.

Is it just me or is the scale off on the skimmer?

I'll be getting these new Epic F/W models to supplement my G/W-S/G pieces ... however, as I have said many times before ... I wish G/W-S/G and F/W would make different models, not a metal vs. resin of the same thing !?

I got my metal SG ones this morning (and my Stormtroopers, Sentinles and Rough Riders yesterday morning  ).
Both types are 3 piece models. There is the main hull part and left and right outer wings to glue on. They are cleverly done, with the weapon strut of the weapon on the outer wing part having to meet up with the underside wing on the main hull piece, ensuring the wings are at the correct angle.
They are really nice models. I'd say the Vulture is the best of the new epic minis to come out so far, even surpassing the Land Raider.
Of course, the FW ones will be bigger, as FW epic stuff is done almost exactly to scale, and they will have greater detail. I will definetly get some of the FW versions.
Don't let that stop you getting the SG ones though. They are great models which should not be missed.

No I think they have got it just right.
In what way do you think the scale is off, too big or too small?
This is a picture of the 40K version which when you look at the Chimera in the background (which is not too far away), gives a good indication of size.
Compare that with the first image on http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/evalk.htm_________________ Jimbo

Looks about right. It's probably better scale than the SG one anyway!
Cheers

Hi!
If you play epic, "scale" really should bother you that much. GW has scaled things everything from true 6mm to 10mm, so as long as it looks good I would think its okay.

Great pic, Jimbo! ?
I'll be ordering all the new F/W Epic very soon.
But I do have a question.
What do the E:A Rough Riders look like? ?
The old SM1&2 "Old Guard" or the E40K Attilans? ?
OR what?! ?
I can't see any pics on the UK G/W site! Just little grey boxes?!
