Hya there!
Well, actually I plan to have a picture of my starting force when I build it up. It is likely to end up formed with T-34/45 or M1A1 tanks for armour and other similar non-GW stuff for other things (man, how I dislike the leman russ :lol: ), so yup, pictures indeed. But you will have to wait a while for them, since I am no ordering and painting them until I move to Brighton (Sussex, UK) in a little bit more than a month 
Thanks for the input. I will research those avenues. My fear with the regular anime things is that they look too "tau-ish" thanks to GW than invented the Plato followers of 40k (well, if taking the republic almost exactly can be considered "invent", that is)
health and sixes,
Xavi

Those were the basde that I was thinking on use for the tanks. The advantage of the soviet ones is that they also have the tank hunter version (SU-2) that come along with these tanks! ( http://www.ghqmodels.com/store/r152.html ) Still, this is quite an investment when it comes to epic minis, so I might reserve it for the tank company. I simply cannot stand the regular leman russ, heh. Too big and ugly for my taste. I can look at it, but will not field one unless I must (like if I have to get some to get in epic tourneys ever).
regards,
Xavi

GHQ does nice stuff ! ?But it might be a bit small for Epic ?  ?I'm not sure, I don't have any on hand to compare ? ?And a sidebar, a US Army M1 Co. only has one Hummer and no M577, Unless that has changed. ?M577s are usually found at Bn and Bde HQ levels. I think the Soviet Combat Team with the ISU 122s is kind of IG-ish !!!

maybe a bit, but since GHQ is 1/285 rather than 1/300 it's better than the "actual" 6mm. Hmm, I have some GHQ tanks (which have been sitting in my storage since 1988 when I bought them from Seattle  ) I could take a comparsion pic of a PzIV, A Tiger, a King Tiger and, say, a Maus with a Leman Russ.

Yes, that is a good idea Mojarn, if you can dig them up. From what I remember they were smaller, for the reason you stated. But G/W & F/W play fast and loose with scale, anyway ...

Hi!
GHQ models are to small, when compared to GW epic figures.

Not just too small, but the overall feel is off. GW tends to exagerate the scale where GHQ tends to use more "small detail".
See the following pictures.

Oh, darn  I thought I had fouind the perfect models (even if expensive ones!) and you just wasted my idea dudes hehe. No, seriously, this _is_ a drawback. Will have to search again. probably will find other suitable stuff, but with much less detail.
