I had to pay 25 quid from GW on Oxford street a few days after it was released. It is a little frustrating to know that other shops are selling the book for less.
I was in GW Lakeside today, they have no display of Epic at all.
Still if it is selling well, that bodes well for future releases plus support from other companies...

Nah the Epic40K land speeder looked quite different (like the old land speeders in 2nd edition WH40K).
The E:A land speeder is like the one in 3rd edition WH40K.

Hi!
Seems a lot of us are waiting for the Valkyries to come out. They didn't exsist under SM so anything like that I pick up immediately.

Hi!
Oh?! I didn't know they were making some.
If so, I'm with you, I'll wait for those.

I have to admit I don't know if they are going to make some, but I would be very surprised if they didn't!
Knowing Forgeworld they'll probably be released a month before the EA ones and be a couple of quid cheaper!!!

Hi!
Given the prices of metal, I am inclined to agree with Jimbo.
So I'll wait, patiently.

I dunno, I think I would prefer to spend the 1 or 2 pounds extra in this case and get the metal ones. I have an aesthetic problem with the vastly increased size of FW flyers and SHeavies and would like the smaller nes.

Hi!
In the metals version defense it will at least be available through GWUS MO, so for us US customers, it still may be cheaper to get it those than the FW ones due to the weak dollar.

Its not weak, just not all powerful as it once was- and only the yanks are complaining as you can see! The rest of us are enjoying some more reasonable buying power!
Dont worry though, IMHO the Brits are in for a dip soon too...

Thanks again, C/F ... I'll make sure to check out the Land Speeder next time I see a pic.

| Quote (Markconz @ 29 2004 Feb.,20:03) | [quote="Tas,29 2004 Feb.,09:28"]Maybe it will be around to the second printing with all the editorial mistakes fixed by then... the orks listings are particularly shocking apparently.
Good to see some extra bits in the Gargant boxes tho ? |
There are quite a few mistakes in the summary tables and collectors model sections, but aside from that it is relatively good in terms of errors (compared to other GW publications this is probably the cleanest yet).
Based on the recent errata released the only errors in the rules\army lists are:
1.7.5; Paragraph 3: Change the end of the paragraph as follows: ?? or if the formation is broken
by Blast markers, etc). If the transport unit is destroyed, then any transported units may make their normal armour save OR make a 6+ cover save. See 2.2.6 if a transport is destroyed by a macro-weapon."
Page 84; Space Marine Landing Craft datasheet: ?Type War Engine? should be ?Type War Engine Aircraft?, AND ?3 x Twin Heavy Bolters, Firepower AP4+? should be ?3 x Twin Heavy Bolters, Range 15cm, Firepower AP4+/AA5+? |
Not bad IMO
