Not so much the game system itself (although I'm sure it still has its supporters), but its presence on the GW website. Has anyone else noticed that the majority of the Epic references are for 40K and not Armageddon. Whether it be on the Fanatic sub-website, Forgeworld or in the texts and links of the main site, it still has a major presence. You would have thought that the least GW could do to promote a new games system was to do a bit of online spring cleaning. |

Hi! Its just sheer laziness IMO. They have not had the inclination or desire to update all the old references to reflect the new game. I doubt a minor game in a minor division like fanatic means much in their overall business plan. If it isn't core, they dont pay it much mind. Primarch |

I get the feeling that the new logo design is a low priority. From his side remarks, I think Jervis was pushing it along for a while, but it ended up on the backburner anyway. Overall, I'd say it's a pretty minor deal. It's not as if they are going to lose the tons of money they spent on branding...

The new E:A models can be used with any version of Epic you play anyway !

Not being up to date with the latesly goings on with Epic I wondered if one of ur knowledgable bods would fill me in on this matter. Ive noticed GW have renamed the ole BattleFortress to GunFortress and made a completely new BattleFortress that looks more like the FW BattleWagon. So wats it all about? I resently bought a FW 40K scale BaneBlade to convert into a simular model I have in epic scale. Will this now be classed as a GunFortress? Wats the difference between the two? |

Well the Battlefortress is more of a giant troop carrier with a few gunz on it. The Gunfortress is more what you'd classify as a super heavy tank like those used by the IG. They sacrifice some of their troop capacity for more gunz. Nont a whole lot of difference stats wise though. Cheers!

Thanx.. thats kinda wat I thought. Now I know I can class my BaneBlade as either a Looted BaneBlade or a GunFortress depending on how much converting I do. "Though a 40K GunFortress needs to be VDRed which is always costly points wize "Thanx |
