Hi! Anyone now how the old FASA centurion tanks compare with standard epic tanks? The link from the current vendor C-in-C is: http://www.pfc-cinc.shoppingcartsplus.c ... 301659.htm Any help is appreciated. Primarch |

Hi Peter, They're too high-tech for Epic. The plastic ones are small compared to Epic and the C&C metal ones are also small compared to Epic, but less so. Shabbat Shalom, Maksim-Smelchak. |

Hi! Maksim, I am actually looking for very "high tech" looking grav tanks for a planned expansion on the netepic slann army list. So are the heavy tanks from C-in-C in metal all that smaller? Or is it a small difference? Primarch |

I have to second Maksim's opinions here. Only the very heavy tanks came close in size. All of the others seemed small when set next to Epic stuff. dafrca |

Hi! Thanks for the input guys! Maksim, I just dont like the look of the GZG or Irregular grav tanks. I like the Centurion look, but, as mentioned are too small. I like the CAV stuff though, even if somewhat larger, it may suit. If anyone has more recommendations for grav tanks, let me know.  Primarch |

Brigade Games. Similar to GZG, but may be different enough. Huge variety. |

Hi! I guess I'm difficult to please these days. I have seen the Brigade model ones, but dont ike them much either. I had my heart set on the Centurion ones, but they are too small...  Perhaps some of the CAV or BT ones will work..... Primarch |

Hey Primach, Your not the only one, I agree with your view toward both companies. ?While I consider both GZG and Briagde good average minatures, I have found both lacking in some way. ?I don't own any minis from either company. ?Maybe it's that Latino aesthetic sensability. ?  ?I have always considred the FASA centurion tanks some of the best looking "hard" sci-fi tanks around. ?It's a pity those minis are not compatible with the epic line. ?Maybe they should best be used in their own gaming universe. I did hear from the guy at DLD that he may be producing some 1/285 scale stuff in the future. There are also a few Battletech miniatures that may work. ?Most of their vehciles are ugly, but some are real nice. ?No grav stuff I think. ?Iron Wind Metals ? The Cav is N scale (12mm) but may work with the epic stuff. ?They have some nice stuff, sometimes their vehicles are a little funny looking. ?Their airplanes look awesome. http://www.reapermini.com/gallery/cav/7064_G Good luck on your quest and let us know what you fine. |

I would recommend Adler too. IMO they have real high-tech look. Their site is here. |
