A short introduction and a small request.
« on: December 19, 2015, 06:38:27 PM »
Hey everyone, just a quick introduction, I've been interested in 40k and it's associated games for awhile now but it's only been in the last year or so that things have really ramped up for me, got a mostly painted 1500pt NEcron army and just order a bunch of models for a Pre-Heresy Death Guard army but it's always been the games like Epic and BFG that have help the most intrigue, mostly because I never had the chance or people to even try playing them with and now we're at the point where playing those games can be an uphill battle when you're starting with nothing! Luckily I've been developing some skills that will be quite helpful to this end but there are some complications, thus the request.

I don't have any knowledge of the real world models for things like the Gladius, Hunter, Lancer and the Battle Barge.

So what do I need?

  • Model lengths in millimeters to ensure I get the scaling right.
  • Pictures of the listen ships directly from the side and top in particular along with pictures of the rear and bottom of the ships.

In particular at the moment the most important bit on info I need is the length in mm of the Space Marine Gladius.

If anyone can give me a hand with these I'd greatly appreciate it!

Thanks Tim, I had just finished my Hunter Model but it's 10mm too long so I gotta go back and tweak it! xD At least the Nova is about the same size as the Gladius so that should be too but but damn the Barge is big! xD
