I'm usually pessimistic about these things but i don't think we'll see Epic prices go up for at least a year or 2. Prices have only just gone up for a start probably to cope with worst case scenario sale figures. Also epic is a fantic game and fanatic never seem to be as exploitative with their priceing.

Hi!
I think the prices are stable for the meanwhile, they are already pretty damn high for what you get, so I really dont see a price hike.

As most know, I have been "Epicing" since '90, so I have a lot of armies/models. "Newbies", may suffer from the new prices ... but I'll just be standing by ...  < enable smug mode >

We as "old timers" have some advantages ...

Hey:
For those not on the playtest boards, I've been appointed the army champion for Thousand Sons.
So, I'm out collecting ideas. Any input is welcome. My general concept is outlined here:
http://www.specialist-games.com/epic/fo ... IC_ID=5495
On a related note, I'm looking for the Citadel Journal article detailing the Suns of Damnation titan legion, who are Tzeentch worshippers. If anyone has a scan of it, a spare copy, or some other way of getting me the info, I would be very appreciative.

The daemons are pretty much sprue-only, but stats for horrors and screamers (as well as alternatives for the other powers) were playtested and will be included in the "collectors' models" unofficial stats.
If worse comes to worse, I'll knock up stats for the Warp Palace just for the collectors models.
I would also love to see a new silver tower sculpt. I even put that on my wish list when PG was polling what models were absolutely vital for the new chaos lists. I think a silver tower would look awesome on the back of an oversized screamer, held on by some sort of chain saddle. Or, alternately, being pulled by giant screamer(s).
For WP models, I would love to hear some suggestions. If I could put together a conversion idea that would be relatively easy and not too expensive, I think it would help it gain acceptance. I was thinking that the WHFB Tzeentch chamion disc would be larg enough to make a good starting point, but there don't seem to be any easy building-like pieces that would just plug into that. Too bad the Man-o-war stuff is OOP. The Bane Tower sucked, imho, but there were a lot of cool bitz. If you have any ideas, let me know.
I think the silver tower/warp palace pretty much covers the floating disc tank concept, but I get where you are coming from. A more tank-like sculpt would be cool - more like a floating weapons platform than the current semi-fantasy tower.

Hey Neal, are the Firelord and the - ah- um other flier still in, or are they relegated to the L&D list?
The disc supporting a Warp Palace - or even a Silver Tower - sounds great!
I'm trying to think up a conversion, but easy it isn't. The base could be a WHFB screamer; the tower-part is a tougher proposition. The easy way out would be to use a ThousandSons WH40K OR a WHFB Chaos Warrior model assembled without weapons and paint him in stone-like colours - one warrior-shaped tower, stuck on top of a screamer. Some cat litter (here we go again) strewn around the feet of the warrior, covering them entirely up to the knees, would help 'embed' the fellow down into the screamer; better still, reduce the warriors height by 1/4 to 1/2. The idea is a Gotham-city style statue-like edifice which can fly.
Bwaa-ha-ha and all that.

I figured the air support will be the Firelords and Doomwings. Much more flavorful that the generic CSM air cover.
I was just perusing the GW catalog hoping to find some ideas for a conversion for the WP.
Some Necron BFG bits might work. They even have a nice built in Egyptian look. I'm considering the same sort of thing as the conversion thread on the playtest board about making a chaos altar for the L&D list - the Warhammer campaign markers, some Tomb Kings pieces (WHFB or WM scale), and so on. I would really like to find something that had a nice mix of high-tech and sorcerous look, but so far the BFG stuff is the closest I've gotten to something I like.

Hi Neal,
here's my first attempt - if it works, I'll change the head for a K sons one. Link to what are you working on thread here.
See it and groan....
