I think its size is mostly legs. Compare an Epic infantry figure with a
warhound titan--it is about the size of a toe. I picture this thing
being between Sentinal and Knight size. I haven't seen any technical
info, but I really don't see it being much more than 2 or 3 fp, just
from the movies. Of course, I'm not going to do all the conversion
work, so make it what you want. :-) (Note that 2 or 3 fp is a good bit
for a single vehicle in Epic 40K.)

Nope, go ahead. I like the Star Wars universe a lot better than GW's.

The problem here is that Micromachines are usually the same size, not
the same scale. That hurts use for Full Thrust as well--fighters are
the same size as capital ships.

I'd like to see that, too.
