Very pleased to see that F/W will do this beast in Epic Scale!!! Finally F/W produces something for Chaos and not more IG, IG, IG, IG, etc., etc.! ?
And it's a whole new model not another version of something (someone smack Tony C. and take his WWII AFV books away from him!) we have 5 + models of (Stormsword, Baneblade, etc.)! ?
Plus they said S/G will produce the Scorpion II in Epic, not F/W producing another model of an existing model that G/W makes (Falcon, Nightspinner, Chimera, etc., etc., etc. !). ?
I hope this is a new trend...
F/W produces new Epic models for armies other than Imperial, and S/G(G/W) & F/W don't make the same models (the F/W Epic Falcon was completely unnecessary and along with the Nightspinner both are too fragile to be used for gaming! ) ?
Save for the F/W Epic Tau and a few other odds & ends most of F/W Epic was annoyingly redundant... I know cause I foolishly bought them all...

Well it doesn't exactly scream 'CHAOS!' at me... but on the bright side I have some proxies which I think might do the job - whadda people reckon?

I have ten of each of the first and second models, the one on the right is a epic40k edition thunderbolt for comparison.
I've been trying to remember, and then google search for the manufacturer but can't find them. You got 12 different spaceships plus stands in a plastic kitset. A friend and I bought 10 boxes and divided them up... anyone know what the manufacturer is?

Jimbo,
Are they Silent Death miniatures? |
Yes! 
You can buy them cheaply on plastic sprues from EM-4.
6mm_Miniatures
I beleive that the 6mm_miniatures group has links to EM-4, but I may be mistaken.
Take care and Shabbat Shalom, Maksim-Smelchak.

Hi!
Checked out the EM-4 spaceships, very nice and suitable for fighters.

As for not screaming CHAOS, I think it's a good thing. On Thursday, I received a shipment of a massive amount of Epic stuff, which included a bunch of Chaos stuff - I really must say I can't stand the Khorne warmachines and deamon engines. At all. Tzeentch is tolerable, the Slaanesh Knights are good, and I don't have anything Nurglesque.
With the EM-4 stuff, do you know if each sprue contains different ships or if it has multiples of the same type? And, uh, anyone want some Khorne warmachines? ?

The sprues come with a variety of Silent Death ships.
