The battle walkers look amazing. Any chance of that coming out in 28mm, or as an .stl so one can try printing it larger themselves?

Sadly enough I doubt either will happen anytime soon. Vanguard Miniatures have always been focussed on 6mm scale (with 3mm, 15mm, and fleetscale being sort of secondary). As for selling STL's, from what I understand Vanguard are pretty reluctant about that, considering how easily those files could then be shared around.

NEW SHIPS!!!
Cybershadow Fleet – Light Cruiser
Cybershadow light cruiser with three broadsides options.

1 x light cruiser hull
1 x hull components sprue (2 prow options)
2 x broadsides sprues (cannon, launch bays, turrets)

https://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/shop/cybershadow-fleet-light-cruiser/
Novan Elites – Lynx Pattern Assault Destroyer
A common variant of the Lynx destroyer the “assault” pattern hull sacrifices its torpedo launchers and broadsides capabilities in order to house a ship busting plasma accelerator cannon, turning the ship into a dedicated attack vessel.
Set contains:
1 x Lynx assault hull
1 x destroyer parts sprue
Notes:
1. Resin cast model
2. Model approximate length 45mms including prow mounted plasma accelerator
https://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/shop/novan-elites-fleet-lynx-pattern-assault-destroyer/
Novan Elites – Lynx Pattern Destroyers
Lynx class Destroyers are small and fast craft that are capable of quickly delivering their deadly cargo. For its size the Lynx is heavily armed, making it a jack of all trades. Its basic armament includes two dorsal mounted twin turrets to take out incoming ordnance, and two pairs of prow torpedo tubes. Its broadsides allow for different types of weapon systems which can be changed whilst in dock due to its modular design. Most common broadside configurations are either weapon batteries or launch bays for a small compliment of fighters.
Its diverse armament is also its main disadvantage. A lot of space normally used for supplies such as fuel, ammunition, foodstuffs, and oxygen is sacrificed for the Lynx’s many weapon systems. What this means is that the Lynx needs constant resupplying, making it incapable of long independent missions away from sources of supply. Because of this the Lynx is often deployed on short duration missions only, when not operating as part of a larger battle flotilla.
This set contains:
2 x Lynx Destroyer hulls (1 x batteries, 1 x launch bays)
2 x optional wings sets and twin turrets
Notes:
1.Resin cast models
2. Model length approx. 38mm
3. Flight base not included

Completely agree
I feel the same way with Epic and the "I wish GW would bring Epic back" comments. The games, the communities, the miniatures (and these days, lots and lots of miniatures) - yes there are no starter sets that cost £100 in GW shrink-wrap, but really that's the only thing missing.

That's good to know !
'til now, we only saw ships with a "moderate" size. Do you have the intention to make way bigger ships, like battleship or dreadnought size ?
Don't misunderstand me, I love destroyers, frigates and cruisers all the same, but it would be nice to have a broader roster I believe.
