Too fiddly to put together? Even more fiddly than say...painting 6mm models?
Models damaged in transit can be returned for a refund or exchange. Washing: Well I always wash my minis, even the plastic and metal ones to remove mold release agents and any extra material that I have sanded off the models while cleaning them. I know resin is brittle, but warm soapy water and a soft toothbrush shouldn't damage anything. ÂÂ
Resin has always been dangerous if you sand it. It's not just the Epic scale resin that's toxic.
[quote]All these are good reasons why any new Epic products should not be cast in resin.  If they were to be cast in resin, I feel that Epic would end up being even more of a niche game than it currently appears to be.
More of a niche game than it already is? ÂÂ
I just don't understand this. SG doesn't even have armies for
most of the Epic line and it doesn't appear that they will ever. If ForgeWorld took over model production and made an exception with the infantry by producing them in metal we would have
A:Models that are cheaper by far than SG.
B:Models that are superior in detail than their SG counterparts.
C:Books that don't go out of print after one print run. If FW were running the show for Epic we might just get
NEW models for our armies every now and then. Could you imagine it? Updatd model ranges every few years? Sounds a lot nicer than what we have going on right now.

 But I don't think F/W will ever do stuff in metal. And they probably would not make new Epic models, even though you can still get the older Epic Models. Just like with G/W-S/G Epic:A The only 6mm they have been producing is for AI which are Epic by any other name. And they have not done anything lately for the AI, but who knows ?!  Again I have everything F/W has produced for Epic/AI (AFVs, Infantry, Aircraft, terrain)so far. And will probably buy anything new if released ... But since G/W-S/G isn't really supporting Epic ... I don't think F/W will be making anything specifically for Epic, but maybe a few odds & ends for AI ... maybe ?!  So time will tell ... But I'm betting I'll have 6mm Slammers AFVs before we see anything new for Epic ... As Jez from Old Crow said he's working on them and should see some in the next few months.  I really have not heard anything from G/W-S/G-F/W that has mentioned new Epic or even AI for that matter ...  But who knows ?!  
 And BTW ... my (future)6mm Slammers will kick any G/W-F/W Epic Armies' Butt(and I got all the G/W-F/W armies including Squats & Tau !!!!)!!!  
 And Slammer fluff IMO is cooler than G/W fluff !
