And as usual, there will be much redundancy between G/W and F/W ... If Jervis and Tony talk, it's not about Epic ... maybe about Brittany and Madonna, but not the fact that F/W makes a Salamander so G/W must make their own version (!), etc., etc., etc. ...   _________________ Legion 4 "Cry Havoc, and let slip the Dogs of War !" ...

They do everything to squeeze every penny out of the imperial fans, which throughout the years are a stable cash cow. Epic is NOT a cash cow, so we must patiently await whatever crumb falls or way.... Primarch _________________ Primarch The Primarchload Magnetized Titans Tutorial Net Epic Gold Heresy Rules

It looked more like a Rhino Garbage Truck then anything else. The pic on Jimbo's page has EA Whirlwind there. Stick 2 WW launchers together and you have a half-decent Epic Hyperios. _________________ The Fifth Horseman. Quality over quantity. Realm of the Horseman ? ?The mirror site.

Firewarriors are based with Drones, correct? So, a Firewarrior stand (using the standard bases) is at least one Firewarrior and up to four (or even zero) Drones. But, when the rules talk about formations containing Drones and their effect on blast markers, etc they actually mean formations with pure Drone units. So, a Firewarrior stand with a Drone on it, doesnt count as a Drone stand. Also, if units of Firewarriors are based with Drones on them, does popular opinion state that this will not change, and the final list will have Firewarrior stands with Drones as 'Firewarriors'? I dont want my Firewarrior stands to become redundant. Thanks. _________________ https://www.cybershadow.ninja - A brief look into my twisted world, including wargames and beyond. https://www.net-armageddon.org - The official NetEA (Epic Armageddon) site and resource.

Your guess is as good as mine on this one. But in any case, if you make it possible to distinguish Firewarriors stands from drones stands, then you are covered by the "Count as" rule under GT rules. That's the same thing as including a sergeant in a stand of Marines.
