My Forgeworld Epic Vultures arrived this morning. They are very nice models, large like the Valkyrie and very nicely detailed, especially around the engines and the lascannons (which are amazing). The weapons the models come with are lascannons and multiple rocket launchers. Each Vulture model consists of 11 parts. These are the main body the tail, the rear of the engine, left and right landing feet, left and right stabilisers, 2 Multiple Rocket pods and 2 lascannons. The only problem with them is the wings, being so thin and flexible, are at slightly the wrong angle, and will have to be heated and bent into the right poisition. That shouldn't be very hard though. I plan, on one of the Vultures, to swap its rocket pods with hellstrike missiles from the marauder destroyer, and to put the rocket pods on one of my valkyries! Rob |

Hi! Its a good model, but I can reconcile with the size, perhaps relaistic, but too big to look right with pre-exsisting models. Primarch |

Thats an issue I have always had with FW stuff, it just doesnt fit with the rest of my collection. Its most evident on the Superheavies and aircraft. I know its a small thing, but I find it Bl%$dy annoying!

Hi! So do I. While my logical side says its a better model, it irks me to see them side by side. Oh well, some things cant be helped. Primarch |

Yeah I heartily concur. I wont replace my existing models with FW stuff, but will buy newer FW stuff not already made. The Valks/Vultures are a prime example and are on my 'to get" list, but I'm hppy with my old metal Marauders and Baneblades for example |

Hi! The heavy tanks I dont mind as much. They ARE larger, but not so obvious as the fliers. Primarch |

Yeah but just how many Superheavies do you need? I said 15. PS My barely adequate morale doesnt need the additional knock of knowing how many you have...

Yes, I have both G/W and F/W models in my forces. As we have discussed before, the size differences are a bit annoying ... but we work with it !

The FW chimeras and artillery are the same size as the SG stuff though, right?! |

The track width is smaller making them appear a bit more delicate. Also the lack of side sponsons of course plays a part. The FW artillery looks nice used along SG models though the Basilisk guns are pretty thin compared to the SG ones. However the E40k variant hulls with extra armour plating does look rather large. I'm not gatting any FW fllyers because of the size problem. However I do like the Marauder Destroyer model so perhaps at some point I'll have to invent some special rules for it and use it as an IG Heavy Bomber. Cheers!

Yes, for some of the aircraft, F/W's are so much bigger we may have to make up their own stats...  ?F/W's L/Russes are smaller while their Heavies are Bigger, than GW/SG?! ? The Chimeras are close enough. ? The FA, F/W's look like SP 88mm while GW/SG's like 150mm guns. But like I said, we work with it... Most of my F/W AFVs are in the same Rgts. However, I mentioned this before, if you look at the France 1940 Campaign, the sizes of the AFVs used there, varied greatly. ?Historical analogy... Works for me!
