Can anyone provide a side by side size comparison of the current chaos epic minis (say a normal marine and havoc) versus the OOP chaos infantry guys?

I've picked up a bunch of both, waiting on them arriving, and I'm trying to work out what kind of mix I want on each base and whether or not it's even feasible to mix them on the same stand (if one set is ridiculously larger than the other then I won't both) so it'd be nice to have an idea of what I'm going to do before the models turn up so I can get stuck straight in :)

Enri,

Dont have any pictures but im sure the chaps on here will post some up, I have the current GW stuff and they are chunky monkeys compared to the old stuff, The havocs are massive, as well are the marines, It was as if GW used a totally different scale for the new stuff, Looks good in detail though for there 6mm stuff but pretty large ;)

The terminators are pretty good though ;) Regards epic

Scroll thru my Chaos album ... there are pics of pretty much all the different Chaos Infantry types ... The old & new match up pretty well, IMO ... http://s48.photobucket.com/albums/f248/ ... 2QQtppZZ20

I was going to mix them myself before I sold mine; variation is very chaotic.

thanks for the responses guys, decided I'm going to mix and match willy nilly for my chaos force :) including the odd troll on a base here or there too.. :D

One last Q.. don't want to start a new thread for this.. but what are people using for their obliterators? I want to use the OOP imperial robots and use them 1 per base (probably mounted on a 1p piece, given that they're just a fraction over 20mm in diameter) but as they're classed as infantry, don't want to get caught out by anyone quibbling that there should really be 3 to a base... also, I'm a stickler for sticking to GW only models, not too fond of using third party alternatives.

So.. any thoughts would be much appreciated :D Maybe I could pad the stands out with a chaos squat or two as 'minders' or something...

Robots, 3 to a standard base.

right, think I'm going to have to get creative with what I've got knocking around then... a handful of robots and a bunch of loyalist termies... hrmm! plus odds and sods for filler... here goes nothing :)

edit: just realised the EC list doesn't have oblits in it anyway... d'oh.. no need for those robots yet then :D
