As a long time player ( i.e. old man) that started with epic 4ok in the 90's i think the new lord of battle looks much better than the epic version.
I own the epic lord of battle, really, its unpainted, never primed, i intend to use the parts for decorations for a chaos themed terrain.
So with the old version in my hands, and a pic from the interwebs in the other,the new one looks much better.

Is it the whole "body on a tank thing" that drives people off? I can understand that, but if it's the quality of the model I just cant see how anyone can judge until you see it on the board.
Thats all i got, what do you think?
