Hi!
I don't mean your conversion, I mean a standard model/kit of say any armored vehicle in 1/35 (like the ones you acquired to make the conversion). Perhaps they vary by brand, but the major ones will suffice.
Clearer?
Thanks for the help.

Epic 40,000 gets even more of our beautifully detailed models 'de-bigulated'
when we release a Skyray and Orca for the Tau, a Thunderbolt for the
Imperial Navy and a promise of special troop types and characters too.
There have been a few rumours on the 'net about us making a big
Bloodthirster. Well they are all untrue. We are making a MASSIVE
Bloodthirster, which at the moment has an axe which is roughly twice the
height of a Space Marine Dreadnought. I think that counts as MASSIVE, don't
you?
>> That is it for E40k - now I gotta go or I will late for the date :S AGAIN.

Yes, I just read the NL and I knew sooner or later they'd release the Tau Skyray AAA Vehicle plus I look forward to the Orca. ?At this point, you could have a Tau & Kroot Epic Army, before '07 or '08 ! ?And of course, I look forward to the T/bolt and even more so to the Special Troops and characters. ?I hope F/W continues in this direction, mostly new and unique stuff ... not another version of something we already have too many versions of ! ?

The only problem I have is that with FW prices for the TAU infantry you'd not only get the army but be bankrupt also.  The vehicles are not so expensive.

Actually the vehicles aren't bad at all - E40k prices for some of them. 3 for a fiver.
And I love the Basilisk model - so much better than the Armoured Basilisk junk they are doing for Epic:A.

I too read the newsletter and became intrigued. I am looking forward to new Epic models, and an Orca will be so cool! As for special characters, wasn't there talk of a Yarrick and Gazkhull? They would fit in well with Epic:A, and look very cool!
Cheers
Chris

I have all the Epic F/W Tau & Kroot, as well as all of the F/W Epic IG, Orks and 'Nid Harridan plus most of the Epic buildings. A bit pricey ... but I sell off my extras !

I would agree with you Tom, just depends on how much they go for, it will be interesting what Ewen has to say in next weeks newsletter if that was really the schedule that they are keeping to.

Hi!
That is my complaint too. Tau vehicles are priced okay, but the infantry is WAY too expensive.

I would like a set of different heavy weapon for various armyes.
Let's say a strip of 6 Heavy weapon marines to make variations in the squads, and the same thing could be done with orks, IG, and even eldar platforms.
On similar lines, some strips with various officer (as i paint space marines, i think about the sergents, but it may be done with ork nobs, IG commissar and officer, etc).
I know i would pay some money just to add variety. I don't have illusions anymore about complete new sets of infantry (Iit would be great to have say 5 differently positioned marines !), but some variation for "special" minis would help add character to stands, if not individual minis.
Character would be great, I know i would certainly paint some as single pieces for the sake of spending a whole week one a single 6mm mini 
If this is to be done, i know i would be disapointed, cos thoses minis would probably look better than my various conversions, but i would want to have it anyway
As a sidenote, i don't receive FW newsletter (seems that their mailserver have problem with my mailbox), could someone please put the whole newsletter here ?
