The old Epic Skullhamma and Giblet Grinda were far too small for their
'actual'
size. The new ones should be considerably bigger. And more $ too, not
that the old ones were cheap, they were a Rip-Off in price.
There is an illustration of a skullhammer in the Warlords book - it's
the one with 2 turrets with gretchin etc (literally) hanging off it. It
also appears (too small) on the cover of Titan Legions, by the Mega
Gargant.

The old epic ones are good. To make a Kustomised Lifter-Dropper would be
difficult: the Mega Gargant SLD is far too big, but is of the correct
shape.

Ork bikes are very very different from SM or IG ones, I'm afraid. I use
the REALLY old metal ones when I can, otherwise the Old (Epic) Ork
Invasion ones or new (E40K) ones which are identical to one another.

If you look at 'Ere We Go' or 'Freebooterz', you'll see Ogryn only used
in small amounts. This was omitted in Epic 2nd edition, and has now been
(rightfully IMHO) restored.

10/10 for observation. Yes.
