They look to be about the same size as the Gibletgrinda/skullhamma. If you check the FW description of the 40K scale stuff, the Battlewagon lines up almost exactly with an EA battlefortress, i.e. 3 twin big shootaz, with the option to add a big gun.
I'm thinking they may be a good addition to the Deth Skullz clan currently lying unfinished in a tacklebox on my shelves...

They look rather good, so who's going to be the first to get some and post comparison pics, I think I'll get a pack for 'completeness' but at that price I'd rather use them as Fortresses rather than Wagons. I suppose it'll depend on the SG ruling for tourney games.

Hi!
Wow! That big Neal?
Then they are defintely to be used as command vehicles of battle fort proxies.
Anyone can get a comparison photo when they get some?

Yeah, I'd say so. I'd guess they are ~40mm long.
Look at the side view and the size of the gunners. Can you not see 4-5 gunners lined up down the fender with about the same spacing as on a rectangular base? That would be close to 40mm even if it were a bit cramped, and the treads and cockpit stick out farther on each end. Definitely in the 40mm range, assuming the gunners are to scale.

Hi!
I kinda more please these ARE bigger, since FW already has a line of battlewagons, so it was good to have a large fortress type vehicle.
