Hi Kelvin,
So for minis we have
UNSC Hardsuit infantry = TAU fire Warriors/Pathfinders
Kra'Vak infantry = Kroot Warriors
NSL Powersuit infantry = Stealth Armour
I Suggest the Poruzh heavy grav tank as a model for both the Hammerhead and
Devilfish.

As for the name of the Rail Gun version how about Hammerhead MKI and MKII.
However, I'd rader give it another name than HAmmerhead MKII, what about
Tiger Shark (Keeping in mind that the Hammerhead is also a shark)
As for the Crisis and broadside battlesuit, I have some Hound Dog walkers, I
thinke these are a bit to large for the battlesuits, they should be just a
bit larger than the normal infantry stand. Is there any GZG walker a bit
smaller than the Hound Dog and slightly larger
than the NSL Power Suit?
I Guess all these could be easily obtained from Eureka Miniatures, one of
the better mini dealer sites I've seen on the web:
http://www.eurekamin.com.au/
The headache is going to find a proxy for the Krootox. This is a gorilla
like monster, walking on all fours, with a heavy rifle strapped between its
shoulders and a Kroot warrior klinging to it's back. So far my best
suggestion would be to use a Khorne Jugger mini!!!! Of course the KROOTOX
could be something entirely different in the NetEpic 40k universe!

Hey that's fair enough. As I said, I thought they were better than
Termies, but I haven't seen the Codex yet. I defer to your superior
knowledge.

Ah! I know the minis your are talking about now. They are the NSL Powered
Armour in Dirtside scale. Very nice minis. Crisp and well-cast. Yes,
they'd make excellent Stealth Suits.

Can't call it the Barracuda. Forgeworld have released a Tau flyer called
the Barracuda. Instead of giving it different names, why not just call
them the Hammerhead-A and Hammerhead-B (Or Hammerhead-I and
Hammerhead-R)? They are simply variants on the same tank and since the
guns look so different, It wouldn't be hard to see which is which on the
table.
