Now, I'm only going to talk about models that I actually OWN.
Favourite:
Infantry trooper: Terminator. They are fun to convert! IG Codex Grey tactical troops are nice, too.
Light Vehicle: Squat Trikes.
Standard Tank: Land Raider (plastic ones. They're so... numerous! I'd love to get a company of those Epic 40K Leman Russes, though!).
Super Heavy: Ordinatus Armageddon, for looks. Overlord Airship for play value.
Flier: Marauder Fighter-Bomber MK1.
Titan (type and class): Imperator (C'mon, it's a robot with a gothic cathedral on its back! That's COOL! The old Eldar Titans were gorgeous, too, though I never had any.)
Least favourite:
Infantry trooper: SM Scout (okay, I don't have any of these, but they look horrible!)
Light Vehicle (plastic Thudd gun. The barrels aren't round! Too late to modify them now; they're glued together!)
Standard Tank (Vindicator MK2. Why did I buy these?!?)
Super Heavy (I really like all of my superheavies. I haven't bought a Leviathan yet because I don't care for its look. The CI would be much cooler...)
Flier (Thunderhawk MK1)
Titan (type and class) (My Warhound MK1s are the worst of the lot, but that isn't saying much. I love my mecha. I know they're silly, but so are the squat bikers. I don't care! The new Eldar titans are abominable; I would never allow one into my home!)
Oh well, I didn't quite stick to talking about my own collection. Sue me.

Whats up people. I love the sergeant mini. I use him as much as I can.
My favorite minis (and I am always right)
Favourite:
Infantry trooper : Epic 40k Chaos Sorceror
Light Vehicle : SM2/TL Eldar Vyper
Standard Tank : I almost want to say the trusty old plastic Rhino (which I think they did a great job with), but I think the Epic 40k Eldar Falcons are simply the best done in this scale.
Super Heavy : Epic 40k Scorpion
Flyer : Any combo of the Epic 40k Ork Fighter Bomber
Titan (type and class) : Reaver, with a Powerfist, Multi-Launcher, and Lascannon. Second would be the SM2/TL Ork Great Gargant with the goggle eyes.
Other (in case I missed anything) : Just about anything on the Epic 40k Eldar Infantry sprue, and I do think some of the Eldar Knights from SM1 are classics (not all, but some)
Least favourite
Infantry trooper: Original Chaos Marines (I don't care if there were one of each power)
Light Vehicle: SM2/TL Imperial Bikers (Never used them so I thought they were a waste of plastic)
Standard Tank: Original Hellhound. God that thing sucked. Or the boxy Vindicator (I think the 2nd one). Both hurt my eyes.
Super Heavy: Leviatian
Flyer: Squat Overlord
Titan (type and class): Was never big on the original Warhound, although I am a big fan of Forge World's Epic 40k version, but even still the original isn't as bad as the new one, which I like to pretend doesn't exist. Screw it, the Epic 40k Eldar Revenant Titan sucks the worst.
Other (in case I missed anything): SM1 Imperial Knights. There was only two that I liked. The rest I agree with Legion on. I can't for the life of me, understand how they ever made it to the production line.
Keep in mind I have been a big fan since AT/SM, so I even have a place in my heart for the original plastic Ork Battlewagons and MK.6 Marines. I think the best models and designs came during Epic 40k, but there are some classics from the early editions. I think many of the worst did come from SM2/TL.

Well, I finally have the time to get back to Epic (after about a 2-year absence), and was thinking of starting out by playtesting Black Legion and/or Thousand Sons (easiest things for me to proxy as I already have a Marine force - plus there seem to be enough 'Nid/Tau enthusiasts as is).
With that, since I have been gone for a while, I do have a few questions.
1. How current are the BL/TS lists in the Vault?
2. Are these armies anywhere on the development schedule or are they just something "to be done in 3 years or so after we're finished releasing 15 other lists"?
3. Is there a particular reason why there is no dedicated Epicomms forum for Chaos/BL (or am I just missing something)?
3.5 Who, if anyone, outside of Fanatic is co-ordinating these particular lists?
4. Where is it best to post findings/suggestions/etc.? [Fanatic's new forums, Epicomms general forum, send them to someone via email, etc.]
Tks in advance.
