It always makes me laugh when people say that the scale of a ficticious tank has increased from 6mm. How do you know?  :D

The scale is the same, the minis are bigger, this is true, but they are still 6mm, just bigger vehicles.

Personally, I really like the larger minis. I dont want things to get out of hand, but I want some semblance of scale in the minis, as I believe that it is an important part of wargames.

Hi!

CS, 40k are really all that ficticious or "original". A land raider is just a british WWI tank and a leman russ a larger version of the french renault, so comparing them with 6mm of those makes these models pretty big.

If thats too "apples and oranges" compare to battletechs line which is 7-8 mm and you'll find epic vehicles that size of greater.

Epic infantry however, still remains at a 6mm scale.

JUST GOT THE F/W NL ! ?New 40K Eldar Scorpion II is out (preorder) and will be released in Epic scale sometime in the future (?), by S/G in metal. And it looks a lot like the Epic scale one we saw on the S/G site ! ? Very interesting ... :blues:

Hi guys, waiting for my plane at the moment, so thought I?d check out what I?ve missed to waste a few minutes ? You've been busy as usual I see!

Anyway, back in topic;
Will hayes is the man behind the new Epic Super heavies which are being produced by the SG team. As we well know, he is also the man behind a lot of the 40K scale stuff to be produced by FW. Thus he is making 40K scale versions of all the new tanks at the same time that he makes the 6mm ones (The 40K versions to be made in resin by FW). They should be pretty much dead on representations of each other seeing as he can adjust them both according to how things look in either scale. So no worries about hundreds of different Mks of Eldar vehicles :D

As I said in the Hell Talon post, just so S/G & F/W don't make the same models, like the did with much of the IG and even the Eldar, I'll be satisfied.  With all the armies in Epic - 7 (incl. Tau) then Necrons ('08?) and maybe more in the future, there is no reason for Tony C. and the boyz to make more IG/41st Reich models ! :angry:  :blush:  :laugh:  :D  :;):

Hi!

I wonder what other chaos models they'll make, the talon is the first one. Some chaos titan variants would be nice.

Some Chaos tanks too, and other vehicles that look useable instead of festooned with decorations from some Hallowe'en party.

As for the Scorpion, I can't say I'm a big fan of it... it just seems a little oddball. Why the cuts into the curves? They're starting to look just a tiny bit like scythes, and that's not cool, IMHO.

Time to stcok up on the older SHTs, maybe in exchange for the cheesey looking Chaos engines I have.

I personally favor the IG for your Imperial Epic, the Guard is the most common Imperial force and their list is very solid. Currently their is only one of the Eldar lists finished/official so I'd go with that one unless you highly favor one of the other eldar army lists being worked on.

For your eldar you might find it easier to field an Ulthwe list as the troop formations tend to be less expensive (guardians) then the very cost heavy Biel-Tan aspect warhosts, this would free up points to squeeze in Revenants and maybe fliers, though I think at 2700pts you still wouldn't be able to have both (only 1/3 may be spent on Titans and Fliers, thus 891pts can be spent. Revenant scout titans are worth 650 and your cheapest fliers are 300). Still though, the Revenants are easily the best titans you can field.

Ummn. 1/3 of 2700pts would be 900pts, not 891pts!!

Would a 2700 army with titan(s) and flyer(s) be worth it?
I mean is it possible to build well rounded Imperial and Eldar armies?

I played SM with a Warlord Titan at a Epic Tournament at Nashcon back in May and went 2-1 (almost ended up in first place but I didn't know the Eldar rules). It was a monster and it tore up five kinds of hell all over the place. Orks ignored it as best they could, Chaos tried brining it down and failed, only the Eldar and their Titan warship could kill it.

I've played with and without it, and all I can say it's a huge points sink. Not that it isn't worth it, especially with the range of the TLD and GB being increased to 60cm.

With a Warlord, you don't have room for flyers, since you only have 50 points to play with. But maybe if you had some Warhound Titans, that would make a big difference.

Good Luck, which ever way you go.
