I must admit to being a little bit in shock about this! I cant believe that even GW would simply stop selling Epic stuff from previous versions. Surely now that the new game is released, there will be more demand for the old stuff?
This is a real shame.

Hi!
CS, they did the same thing for epic 40k. I guess they want to obligate players to nuy the newer stuff.
Last time all it did was create a buying frenzy before the deadline and even more exagerated prices on auction sites.
It did not increase sale.
Go figure.

Sometimes it pays to be an old fart. I've got enough IG, SM, Orks, Squats and Eldar to game for a long time. Not anywhere near a primarchload, mind you, but still enough to field a sizable army of each. After I've painted them, that is.

Yup ! Being an Old Timer, I've got 9 Epic Armies and only will buy the new E:A in small quantities for ascetics. And I can always use another det. of "new" Rhinos, Raiders etc. Plus there are some actual "new" models just not new versions, too ! So we will have to wait and see ... if E:A flys !

Hello all, may I first make myself comfortable ( sounds of grots being beaten out of the way and trodden under foot )
Ive noticed from several boards ive been watching that there dont seem to be many orc players .. it seems most go for the stinking umans or ponzy space boys ( and a lot of eldar also ) .. Does anyone play orcs?
Once I find a gaming group in my area I will ofcourse ask you all for help in creating the greatest WWAAGGH anyone has seen in a long time ( I used to play Epic a LLOONNGG time ago ).
Oh and yes Im new here ... 
Q : Whats that under your foot ...
A : A squashed grot

Oh yeah...
I try to make sure my orks always outpoint my other epic armies. I'm currently finishing off four 'uge gunwagonz mobs, each with 3 supa zzap guns. Then I'll start on another 40 stands of infantry.
Welcome to the boards!

I have 9 Epic Armies, including 30 Ork Warbands in 3 Hordes. And plan to make a few new Warbands with E:A and F/W models ...

Hi Shagrat,
I'm currently working on Eldar, but I've got a soft spot for Moonz and Sunz, and once the pointy ears are done, I'll be working on a small SM force i've got an idea for with Orks in the background. So far I've only ever painted a few battlewagons and the odd Gargant - and 1 converted Landa (LANDA!!!! Green is good and Thundabad is go....oh, sorry, that's and old story...  ). I've got loads of boyz waiting in the wings, a half-complete gargant conversion (Deffsta), and around 30 guntrukks... and plans for what I think a supagun should be like...

Another Ork player here, with a thing for speed, I like my bikes and buggies!
Markconz, I wish I could paint that fast, it's taking me ages to do my Infantry. Still, only 4 stands left to do, I must get started on them again.

I run a business and if our customers want it we sell it ... but Epic has such a small worldwide following (probably less than 10,000 ? 
), it is not a priority for them ...
