Thats a big wait Peter. They won't be releasing anything for their new army until at least the end of NEXT year.
Might be worth contacting Forgeworld and seeing if they have any plans for 40K scale DE vehicles. I know the two new flyers would make great epic miniatures but am unaware of their plans for future pieces in the line.
Cheers,

Hi!
I'd wait and see what models GW releases on their supposed DE army, if they don't release much of nopt to our licking then we'll look around.

I like the idea, but does anyone have any idea for a model?
Maybe the necron spaceships for BFG could do, but I havent seen them "live" so i dont know the size of them. The design is cool though...
