Yep. These were all suggestions I was going to make to the list. You just
beat me to it! ;-)

Sure. They'll work well as proxies.

Whatever people would like to do with this. I just think that in the 40K
set they are both called Hammerheads, so lets keep in line with that, but
if people feel more comfortable having different names for the two
variants, then lets go with that. I'm easy.

Well, I don't know the names of all the walkers but I think these are the
Hound Dogs you are talking about:

If so, from what I've seen of the Crisis suits next to the Fire Warriors in
my local GW store, this looks to me to be about the right scale. These
walkers certainly look the part for Epic scale.

Yep. Love dealing with Nic. He's a good friend as well as a good
retailer. And with our pathetic Australian Dollar (or as we like to call
it, the Pacific Peso) its even better for those of you in the UK or US.

What about the Kra'Vak riding beast? I've got a pic of it in 25mm scale:

And I'm pretty sure there is now a Dirtside-scale version of it. I think
that'd fit the bill nicely.
