I own Space Marine/Titan Legions, but never got Epic 40K. I've been trying to keep tabs on the developments on EpicA and will probably end up buying it when it eventually comes out. Could any of the playtesters give me a general overiew or any other useful info on how the new game system is shaping up? I know I could sign up at the playtesting vault, but unfortunately I don't really have the time at the moment. Thanks.

I must admit that I really like the way that EpicA is going. Right now, the rules are pretty much ready (although I am sure that there will be changes), and there are lists for Orks, Guards and Marines. Chaos are under development and Eldar are on the way after that (Shadow Hunter, did you sent your list to Jervis?).

The game is different to all others in the sequence of events. You pick a formation, conduct an action with it and then try to hold the initiative. If you do this, you then automatically pass it to the enemy who has his go (meaning that you cant move more than two formations before the enemy reacts).

The game is more detailed and feels better than previous versions. Firing is done by rolling a dice and each weapon has a score to beat. The target then gets to save.

It is looking to be a good game.

Yes the way its spanning out is looking good.  I haven't been to the forum for a few weeks due to lack of time.  I have put the epic projects on hold at the moment.

I sent the Eldar list into Jervis, and he sent a reply thanking me for it.  He said he's received a couple and will butcher the good ideas from them to come up with the final version.

On the playtesters forum there have been a couple of other lists posted up too.  I haven't had a chance to look at them that thoroughly.  I did note that a few people have used my list as a base for their own versions, which is nice.  There are some improvements/upgrades which my list needs, but I haven't got round to.

I cant wait for the system to come out.  I am hoping to go along to my club with some epic to try and spark interest.  It worked really well with the BFG campaign, so...

Actually, Cyber, could you do me a favour?

My computer is still dead, as such I haven't got the link to the paytesters forum or vault.  Could you post the links?  I remember my password, I just dont know the address for the site.

To my knowledge, the printed rulebook does *not* have the errata corrections in.

Of course, anyone can feel free to contradict me on this, and I'd be glad if they did :)

OK, then I guess it would be better to get the online PDF and take it to Kinko's or whatever and get it bound. Thanks for the response!
