Yes, sorry about that. I will probably update the current list with a few changes with the next update.
Then, the next installment will come in the update after. I may show you guys a sneak peek as soon as I get something down.
Sorry for the delay, it is currently one of my two (plus painting Marines) pet projects, so it should move on when I get the time free.

Just wondering what you guys are going to do with all those extra Ork figures on the sprue that wont now get used for EpicA?
For instance the Shokk attack gun (I know it could be a big gun, but that would look crappy) the Pain boss, the Bigmek (could be put onto the soopa gunz I guess), the Weird boy etc.
Also, what about the other sprues? Are there any obsolete figures on the Imperials and marines? I can't think of any.

There are no "obsolete" figures on the IG or Sm sprue, unless you count the Techmarine and Apothcary etc.
I think this has happened with the Orks because much of the Ork armoury has been "streemlined" to make a more managable force. They did end up with LOADS of different vehicles!
Cheers
Chris

Jervis made a list of what counts as what in the Ork army. For example, the Boarboyz are used as Warbikes and so on... You might want to read this list.

Oh yeah. I've found the list.
painboyz, mekboyz and Runtherd are all Nobz.
shootaboyz and weird boyz are big gunz.
hmmmm.  Maybe I'll just add them into the odd Nobz stand for variety then.

Conversions, conversions, conversions, baby! 
On the Big Gunz, I think the shokk attakks look fine mixed in with hop splats and such.

Wasn't thre talks about "editing" the sprues...so you would get more of the useful plastics (rank & file) and less of the things that never is used (traktor kannon)? Or am I just making things up?

Also weirdboyz are a character upgrade for Feral Orks, so keep them aside if you plan to make a feral Ork army later

Just because Jervis doesn't include something in the E:A rules, does not mean you have to drop it from your forces ... we are going to use the Medic, Tech, Lib. etc., etc., as in SM2. Come on Guys, don't be such lemmings, blindly following everything that Big Bro Jervis says ... he has always advocated, as I do, to do what works for you and your gaming clan ! He mentioned that in every iteration of Epic ... I read it and think it's a good idea. And don't use that Tournament Rule poo as an excuse ... how often do you play in a Tournament !  Do what works for you !

Legion, I thought thats what people were discussing in this therad, they _are_ using them for what they want to do, just kicking round ideas of what things they would make good models for.

Yep. We're talking about the old sprues, not the EA versions.

Yes, I guess I didn't make it clear ... I'm all for what you all are talking about. I was just making the point as I always do ... "to do what works for you" ... I can be very redundant ... redundant ...

No intent to badger. Just idle curiosity, really.

Hi!
Why not just MAKE your own rules for whatever models on the sprue epicA didn't make rules for?
I think it would be fun just trying out to see if your rules creation works.
If there no shokk attack gun rules, make them, I dont think it would be too hard.
