Mmmm,
Not willing to use E-UK Steel Legion at tournaments as it's not good enough.

Disliking of the E-UK Blood Angels as it hasn't got all the bells and whistles and the Death Company aren't seen as viable as the more powerful Terminators for the points.

Reminders of how well you've done at tournaments (you don't get that Dave Thomas geezer constantly bangin' on about his exploits ).

Either someone has gotten into Ben's account or he's turning into a WAAC powergamer .

Interesting! Although the Blood Angels list has lots of intriguing aspects to it, I think I will remain with the Codex Marines list to start with. That's largely because several of the units I like most don't exist in the list though (e.g. standard dreads) but I like the fact that the option is there when I'm ready.

I've been looking through the Epic UK website at the tournament lists people have used and finally realised why it seemed 'odd' - the lists don't look identical. Sure there are things that feature in most (Thunderhawks, Terminators and Warhounds), but even that rule is occasionally broken. I found this quite reassuring as it seemed to suggest that most things I build will be useful at some point.

I've also been looking anxiously at the Forgeworld website (waiting for those pesky Warhounds to return) and have begun to consider the Reaver model they've got. Do people use this in standard lists with the alternate weapons loadout? Is the points cost different? I've noticed I can use it in the rather enjoyable looking Titan Legion list but (low model count aside) I'm not sure that's the best army to learn with!

With the Codex list all the titans would 'count as' having the standard weapon fit despite what they are actually armed with so no problem with whatever pattern Reaver you go for.

However in casual play you can agree with your opponent as to weapon swaps and what it does to points.

Posting in a hijacked topic!

Thanks very much for the intro a couple of weeks ago. In the meantime, I've only gone and acquired/had sent over from Portugal, 2 full Epic armies: 'Nids (unorthodox) and Eldar. Looking to get a few more intro games in about 2 weeks time if anybody's interested.

Yup, that's one of the best things you can say about Epic, it's that for all we might engage in detailed debates about the merits of particular units, Epic has a tighter level of balance than any other GW tabletop wargame...

...there are no instant win army list builds in Epic that will let you turn off your brain and just roll dice until you take home some silverware!



In friendly games, sure.
In tournaments you'll have to take the standard configuration from the rulebook though, and "counts as" your arm weapons to be turbolasers.

Also, try giving FW a ring, rumour has it they have some Warhounds in stock if you call them.


Lots of people seem happy using the Titan Legion army list's points cost for different configurations of Titan; That particular one on the FW website works out at 575pts, IIRC.

As the chap who was asked by the NetEA rules comittee to write rules for the Titan Legions, one of my projects I want to get done is to codify some rules for using Allied Titans with variant weapon fits.

Hi Carlos, glad you enjoyed the intro!

I'll be losing my Tuesday evenings for a couple of months soon, unfortunately, but there's bound to be others at the Cock ready to throw down against you.
