I have seen the photographs of Epic 40K at
http://ukyou.res.cmu.edu/e40k
I have a question : the Marine Bikes and Vyper Jetbikes you scanned, are
they from Epic 40 K or are they WH40K pictures that sneaked in the Directory.
It seems almost impossible to me that it is Epic ... or did they change the
scale of the miniatures (are they bigger now ?) ?
They seems almost as detailed as WH40K miniatures (but maybe they *are*
WH40K miniatures ...) !
