I think the current W40k stompa is very meh and that the older ones are nicer models so I'm not really that excited by this. I would like to see some of the new FW style Ork vehicles desibified though.

Or some nifty conversion kits for marine vehicles? (Land Raider, rhino and pred.)

I'd like to see that. Some of us aren't very skilled in doing conversions.

No, it's not.

And I hate this "true scale" thingy. Which is, by the way, the true scale anyhow?

According to Forgeworld, 'true' Epic scale is a 1:5 reduction from the Warhammer 40,000 sized model. Though it modifies the size of some vehicles slightly (and in the case of super heavy tanks, greatly, making them considerably larger), it is at least consistent.

Not very keen on the 40k stompa myself. Personally I think some upgrade details for the existing stompas/gargants might be a better idea. Add some more detailed weapons and heads and that'll do the trick IMO. There's just something about the random rag-tag feel of Orks that seems a bit counterintuitive to do with high precision 3d print.

Chaos conversion bits (titans, vehicles), Daemon engines, Ordinati, Large Necron things would all be interesting to see.

If you make a Stompa do you include parts for the Big Mek Stompa, Kustom Stompa, Klarstompa and Rock'n'Rolla?

Not sure what a Rock'n'Rolla is, nor a Klarstompa, but I can't imagine it not being pretty adaptable.

Klaw Stompa - CC weapons
Big Mek - shields
Kustom - gunz
Rok-n-Rolla - dethrolla (duh)

Rok-n-rolla actually had its own datasheet in a WD article.  I guess it was different enough from the others in ability that it had to have one.  I haven't looked at it.

Edit:  There's also the "Evil Eye in the Sky" apocalypse datasheet for a Stompa that carries 3 Deth Koptas, like a land-aircraft carrier.

Sure, but FW isn't GW and it sure aint Epic.
And on top of that it's 40k that should be up-scaled from Epic, not vice verse as Epic is where the vehicles come from.

I`m all for the 1:5 scale. So we have consistency and it's the scale FW uses and which GW/SG follows too somewhat.

And yes Klarstompa should be Klawstompa  :blush:  It's in Apocalypse Reload.

*shrug*

The models don't come from Epic anymore, and it looks better to have a consistent scale, IMHO.

My two cents is that if you feel like putting in the effort to draw it up, then it is worth doing, because having more direct-from-40k models is a good thing. Because hey, it's alot easier to draw players from 40k with identical models than it is with models that only kinda-sorta look the same.

After they're hooked, that's when you beat the 40k-itude out of them and teach them the 'proper' way units are supposed to look.

Ordinatus would be a good idea too. You already have some giant robot weapons which the Ordinatus  (or should is say Ordered Machanic?)could use.

Ok, which model/s comes from 40k (apart from that scout land-speeder)?
No, they still come from Epic. Variants pop up in 40k, yes. But variants are no-go in Epic.

Quote:

A) Do we want that competition bunch over here?  :angry:
B) See above about models variants.

BUT!
It would be awesome to see another Stompa model!

Edit-> Correct scaleification would be 8:32, ie 1:4, BTW.

A) Do we want that competition bunch over here?  :angry:

Tau, Defilers, Wartracks, Warbugies, Scorchas, Rhinos, Land Raiders, Dreds, Kanz, & Battlewagonz all went from 40K > Epic.  The games have borrowed from each other and, now that Epic development has ceased, the creative energy is mainly coming from 40K.

On the second point, I'd argue we do want more folks from "that bunch" over here.  More interest = more revenue potential = increased liklihood that GW might venture into Epic again.

E&C, what interior details were you speculating on?  A gun deck for a belly-mounted Soopagun would be neat. The head/cockpit seems a bit weedy to detail in comparison to other areas of the model.
