After a good bit of help in the thread here:
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=18942I have purchased and am eagerly awaiting the arrival of my Tyranid proxy/kitbash army. Today my first parcel arrived with my 40k (FS) Tyranid Battleforce and 40k (FS) Gargoyle Box. I have taken the to use the 'gants and 'gaunts as the chassis/base model for all of the Epic scale armor pieces. Someone on the other thread had voiced a concern of size, so I took a few minutes to take some comparison photos of the FS 'nids vs Epic vehicles.
'gant vs Baneblade
'gant vs Knight and Baneblade
Here we have a 'gaunt body next to a Leman russ and Towering over some Marines.

Epic TyranidsAs you can see, the 'gant does stand a bit taller then most superheavies and about the same size as a knight, so I feel this is a good scale for Dactalys and Biovores carrying around heavy artillery. The 'gaunt body, despite being smaller and matching the Land Raider and Leman Russ in body size is way taller than other epic scale equipment.
I believe I can fix this by removing the 3rd leg section and attaching the foot directly to the knee of the second (circled below in Red)
That's it for tonight just some biomass for thought.
