Well, the GHQ M113 seems ridiculously small as a proxy for... well, you know what...

However, these look tempting:

MMM... salty.

Now that would be an impressive company on the gaming table.  At $4.25 each, it would actually be cheaper than the GW version.

... Ah yes, now here's a ***blade.

Most GHQ is too small than for Epic, save for things like the Maus and E-100. And they'd be MBTs ... not Hvy or SHT, in Epic scale.  Of ocurse DRM's Valiant makes a great M113 proxy.  BTW, I commanded a Mech Co. with 14 of them back in the late '80s.  M113s not Valiants ...  :laugh:                                                                                                                                                                                  The Valiant is the one on the far right, next to the green Rhino ...  :cool: I do have some 10mm stuff from Minifigs and it is perfect for Epic, IMO ...

Nice WW1 armoured cars and A7V  :agree:

Totally unrelated: Is there a rules set for WW1 ground combat with 6mm models?

Yes, I think they'd make nice Epic Ork Vehicles for my WIP Orkfrika Korps ...  :alien:  The A/C in the front is a WWII IJA Sumida (sp.?!) ...  :hi-yah:   And the other A/C is the WWI & WWII Rolls-Royce ...  :laugh:   Should look good with an Ork Warboss sticking out the top !  :alien:

This would be a good sub for a thick-hided marine transport vehicle:
Kunitsa APC

IMO, a lot of the Neo-Soviet line would sub well for Marine/IG equipment, what with its futuristic-retro look and all.

I personally think mataac carnivorian range is perfect for orks. They are BIG tanks but look great and are in 6mm. bit pricy though -especially in postage (in live in australia).

Nice tyranid proxies

But I'm still looking for the one thing that sent me hunting in the first place:  a deathstrike in the range of 7-10$

I've forgotten which 6mm range it was that had Pershings and SS-20s... I think it's one of those gnarly ones like Ros Heroics.
