Hi!

I was following that thread and here is the "in between the lines translation" of it:

Fanatic games don't sell well enough to justify sending stuff there. No game that doesn't sell on par with the core games such as 40k or warhammer will EVER get the support or resource allocation they do.

Never mind that there is a implicit vicous cycle in this line of thought:

no resource allocation--no product availability--no sales--no money made--which justifies not allocating resources in the first place.

Unfortunately while Jervis points out a very real issue about supply cost versus amount ot be sold, I think one should point out that even in places where this is an issue like GWUS, there WILL be store managers who will not order any Epic stating space constraints of other such things.

So while there may be some cost issues, there are also store "attitude" problems I think GW should look into.

did just that with some SDD 15mm and 20mm Vietnam Riverine Craft. Added Pulsa Rokitts and BattleFortress turrets as well as Buggy Gunners.
It was too clean to begin with, so I added metal "cladding" to the sides to have a "gargant" look to the sides of the boats.


Jimbo,

We need photos and I mean badly! :;):

I REALLY need to see this!

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Hi!

Amphibious rules seem and oft neglected aspect within the epic scene. Some attmepts were made in the past for some versions of epic, but were generally not al that popular.

Any new effort for such rules would be well received, especially with model pictures to show what can be done.

Hi!

Besides monitors, what other "naval" units would be good to have in an epic game?

It really depends how in depth you want to go...

The true "primarchload" would have:
Battleships/Heavy Cruisers bombaring shore targets,
Destroyers shepherding them,
Maybe a small flat deck launching Valkyries to shuttle Stormtroopers in
Fast attack crft,
Landing vessels of avrious sizes.

It just depends on how far you want to go...

But I thought the flyers (guard anyways) operated out of spacecraft in orbit? :l

True iblisdrax, but the aircraft carrier idea is pretty cool!  :)
