Hi!
I agree with Tas and Legion4, if you have you're own ideas on how it should be organized do so. Besides there is no guarantee that your wait for GW to catch up wont be as long as the last wait for chaos (which, by the way people are STILL waiting for).

Thanks for the info, I found the article on stripping plastics, though I was actually more curious about basing issues. Guess I'll ask that on the other forum where it's more appropriate.
Legion4, I'd do my own thing, except thats not the point of this army. I have plenty of little army men to field, but like I said, they're antiquated with bad paint jobs and bad (according to this edition) organization. And I really like rectangle bases.
The new chaos list up at the vault rememdies a few problems I had with the old list, namely the GOBS of infantry you could potentially get in a single formation, especially if you were regularly taking cult troops. The guys were like freaking orks. ?
The list still has problems with a lack of variety though, mostly having to do with the limited scope Jervis has given the list. What really annoys me is how useless the Lost and the Damned list is though. I mean, is there ANYONE out there who had nothing but cultists and daemon engines? And they only get one formation? Is this going to be a trend with chaos lists?
What would make both lists far, far better IMO, would be to allow either list to take 25% of the other as allies. That would give the Black Legion another very interesting formation to contrast the orgy of marines, not to mention be totally in character, as well as give the LatD more formation options.
That would be a list I would play, no question. I've got 100something unbased beastmen just crying out for a use.
I've personally sort of decided to do a compromise of doing a chapter thats just turned renegade and started worshipping Tzeentch. This means that I can switch hit between the loyalist list and Black Legion. It'l be mostly vanilla marines on the stands, with the occasional sorceror or chaos marine thrown in to represent a particularly Tzeentch-blessed warrior. I'll also be doing the necessary loyalist and chaos stuff to flesh out their respective versions. All in all, it should be interesting. I'll kind of be able to do a before and after: The loyalist representing when they were practicing evil chaos stuff before they were caught, and the black legion list representing after they were driven away and hooked up with some other chaos dudes.
Should be cool. Just need some cool paint schemes and a chapter name. And some rectangle bases. Do they still sell those?

Well regardless of all that, you have to do want you want, no matter what I or anyone else says !  I have my Armies (and I collect all including Squats & Tau) on both square and some long bases, since most of my forces date from SM1 '90 (!). And yes, I believe G/W US still sells the long rectangular Epic bases. Just call them, I have G/W US MO on speed dial ! Good luck on your quest for the Chaos Forces of your choice ... I don't know if you read my other posts about Chaos, but I have a large Chaos Army including all 4 Major Powers & Undivided + Cultists based on SM1 Templates.

Hi!
I'm a long time lurker but first time poster.
I was wondering if anyone is doing the Army Builder files for Epic Armageddon. I've got them almost complete, but I didn't want to step on any toes.
Let me know, or email me.
Thanx

Well I finally managed to get a copy of the Epic Armageddon rulebook...
This sounds like I was desperate to get a copy and that I had searched high and low! Well the reality was when the rulebook came out I did try and get a copy, but my local GW had none in stock (allegedly they had sold them to all the staff). I know I could have purchased a copy by Mail Order, but when I did my last GW Mail Order I got some fantasy orcs instead!
Today I popped into one of my local GW stores and they had a few copies, so I thought oh go on get a copy, so I did.
It is really really nicely put together and I was impressed.
What was also nice was that I was only charged ?20 (rather than the list price of ?25).
The manager complained as too many people were buying it and he was having to order more copies!
A friend of mine (in a different GW store) was initially charged ?40, then ?60 came up on the till before eventully he was charged ?20 also!

It sounds great, and I cant wait to see it.
But I'm waiting for later mini release that I want (Valks etc) so I can get it all in one hit and so only pay the rather expensive o/s shiping cost once.
BTW is there a definitive list anywhere of what is newly resculpted and what is simply a rerun of the e40k models?

I haven't seen a list, but from the pics in the rule book I can make one 
The following are new models:
Space marines:
SM bikes (sort of, I think they are attack bikes minus the sidecar with the holes filled in)
Land speeders
Land speeder tornados
Land speeder typhoons
predator annihilators
predator destructors
vindicators
rhinos
razorbacks (one with twin lascannons, one with twin heavy bolters)
whirlwinds
land raiders
hunters
landing craft
drop pods
Imperial Guard:
Imperial guard support squad
storm troopers
valkyires
vultures
Sentinels
Leman russ vanquishers
Basilisks
Titan legions:
Warhound titans
Orks:
oddboyz soopaguns
deth koptas
battlewagonz
battlefortress
killa kanz
Stompas
Supa stompas
landas
Everything else is a re-release. Mostly Epic40K models, and a few older models brought back (reaver titans, the various ork gunwagonz etc).
The following infantry were re-casts of old models in metal:
SM scouts
SM terminators
Ork warbikes
Rough riders
Also the re-released Epic 40k gargants have a few extra bits in the boxes compared to the orginal version, the bits allow for all the weapon combinations possible with the rulebook army list.

This irritates me no end. A load of stores have been selling the book at ?20. However, I advanced ordered my copy, showed my support this way, and got charged ?25.
Why cant GW get a simply thing like the absolute price of a simply book right? Maybe I should shop around in future and not just buy something from GW.

i just got mine today aswell. ?20 from a GW store. They are selling faster than their getting them in. Great news. I was mightily impressed with the layout and look of the book. Best rulebook i think GW have done. In the credits at the front there was also a specialmention of our very own Maksim and Tuffskull. Think Neal Hunts name was in there too. Didn't recognise any of the others.

Thanks again C/F, good intell ! ?That is what I figured in most cases. ?I thought the basic Land Speeder was the E40K version ? ?Can't wait until the US E:A release and as I said I will be selling my extras ... so let me know your want lists Darkone, Maksim, Tas, ?(in alphabetical order ! To be fair and balanced !), etc. ?
