Not sure I follow.Because they are big, people would be more open to new designs?

@ Jimmy, i've often thought this a rhino would work for me if it transported 5 troops instead of ten it would still be a tight fit in there but a viable one from my perspective. I suspect however most people would have issues with every marine list requiring two rhinos per squad to transport just imagine all those points tweaks and models needed jeez.

So a poll then to change the fluff and army list to a max of 6 marines in a rhino including a driver.

I'm going to get ben our resident expert on curves to design an eloi tank hull that can hopefully serve for several variant eloi vehicles we will post up some concepts in the eloi thread in the vanguard section for feedback this will be your chance to get what you want so please take advantage of the opportunity to influence the design it's up to you what the end result wil be.

I will say this as we have seen polls here do not reflect reality as the size of the trojan has shown the vote at the time was do it true scale but no one actually bought into that in any significant way. The true scale trojan has meant i've needed to create all the new models to fit alongside that one model a decision made years ago by this very community that i've been stuck with. Most people here are now saying I should make my models fit with existing old ranges so which way do I jump.

It's a bit of a dilemma to be sure at least with the 15mm stuff we won't have this issue.

Thanks guys keep it coming.

What I meant is that you can never satisfy everybody. There's always something not right about a model, be it its design, size, material, etc etc etc. I guess it's partly the times we live in.

You're totally missing the point, mate. Keep your true scale 10 man transport. Add to your line another elite APC (not an IFV though if you're smart you'll have the chassis to allow it to support that add-on). This transport carries 5 elites in the DiD fluff. In addition, it has appropriate aesthetic qualities we're looking for. However due to the physical size of a 5 person true-scale transport, it just happens to be appropriately sized for those people with existing collections to fit in with their 10 person APCs from a certain company based in Nottingham. Because they may have the perception that your 10 person APCs are too big, they don't purchase. Because you I happen to have a proprtional alternative, they'll purchase 1 5 person APCs per 10 infantry (not double) for their epic collections and use it as a not true scale 10 person APC. Make sense now?

The point is that I doubt a rescale will matter that much, considering they can get the originals on ebay or black market copies elsewhere. So maybe riding the whole nostalgia wave isn't the way to go, especially in the long term.
