I wish my cleverness at the post title actually made me somewhat cooler.
For a time, I was very involved in the marginally popular tabletop mech game CAV (Combat Assault Vehicle) published by Reaper Miniatures. For a number of reasons, all of which I have detailed at http://ceramite.blogspot.com/ and none of which I will bore you with here, the game fell out of favor with me and the many models I had purchased commenced collecting dust. Couple pix below... several more @ Rust.

I dug the carry case out for the first time in five years yesterday to give the models a once-over as possible Ebay fodder. It dawned on me that with the resurgence of Epic, some of the CAV stuff might be passable as titan counts-as, and the infantry models similarly could pass as IG or Astartes. At a minimum, the grav tanks and aircraft might be used with Aeronautica Imperialis. This being said, I'm looking for input on a couple of counts from the Epic veterans:
1) The CAV models are N-Scale. Does this mesh somewhat with Epic/Aeronautica Imperialis?
2) Admittedly the pix are not especially clear. Anything in there which could respectably pass for one flavor of titan or another?
3) I'm not entirely certain I want to delve into yet another miniatures system, from both a time and monetary investment standpoint. For a decent-sized army, what sort of cash can I expect to shell out?
Thanks in advance for your input.

EDIT: So... after posting (and getting jerked around my Imageshack) I realized there is an entire forum section dedicated to Epic. Not the sharpest spoon in the drawer, this guy.
