I know what you mean. I've been filling in the gaps in my Eldar army recently and there's no way I could combine Citadel aircraft with the Forge World ones I already have; they'd just look silly. Which is a shame as the Citadel ones are much cheaper and more plentiful on eBay.

Yes, many GW Vehicles appear a bit small ... However, when it comes to Infantry, aliens from a few lines may be bigger or even smaller than GWs. GW has had Scale Creep since it's intro in '89 anyway ... However, when it comes to aliens they may be a little different in sizes ... they are aliens after all ... it a big galaxy ...

4.5cms sounds about right if the fighter is to scale with the aircraft Forge World produced. The metal aircraft Citadel produced were clearly on a much smaller scale than the rest of the Epic range. If you look at the Epic Thunderhawk or Vampire Raider, for example, there's no way that 40 soldiers would fit on board. Forge World scaled their aircraft to 1/5 the size of their 40k equivalents (same as everything else) and they were about twice the size of the metal models.



GW produced 1/500 scale flyers / we and FW did 1/300 aka Truscale. TMG went with Truescale across the board. There was some scuttlebutt about them possibly producing 1/500 scale to their flyers for those with existing lines.

The size differences was a good thing to note for people. Good thinking
