Well there does seem to be major communication issues at GW.
I tried this year to run a game at GamesDay and though key people were very keen for me to do this, trying to get the right person was a real nightmare...

Yeah I'm only planning on getting a couple of Ragnaroks and possibly a single Infantry company from the Krieg range. They are simply grosslyy overpriced. 
Cheers!

Hi!
The siege tanks were disappointingly small...
..I didnt expect super heavy size, but these are smaller than rhinos.

This does not bode well for the "new" epi minis.

Is it possible to get the infantry and other bits seperately? I have just read Fanatic Mag 4 and they are bought as optional add-ons, so if you want an infantry heavy force, you will end up with a load of extra bits that you dont need!

Yup. IIRC the Krieg Siege company only consist of 9 Infantry stands. You can then choose the usual formation upgrades one of which are the Rapiers/Thudd Guns.
In adition you have too base each formation on the infantry co. You don't get seperate artillery co. like the steeel legion but instead buy then as additions to the Infantry coy. This means that Krieg armies are automatically infantry heavy.
Cheers!

Hi!
As you can see the Sigfried is "anemic" in size when compared to even the old rhino (the newer one is wider). The Sigfried is basically the same size as the tractor. It looks more like an armored car than tank.
The Thudd gun/rapier is very small as well and dinky looking.
The models come with an excessive amount of flash which I cleaned to take pictures.
I will not be buying any more of these. The quantity of metal versus price is a serious "hosing".
I would recommend getting GHQ tanks with are the same size, better detailed and a lot cheaper.
If you want static artillery buy FW, they are MUCH better and chaper.
Very disappointed in these models.

At this point in my life, I'm getting a little too much of that. 
These "problems" and high prices ...
