Well I'll throw out a few of the answers. Epic, no matter what version, plays somewhat differently than 40K. 40K Rules are terrible. You can get as big or as small an army as you want, based on who you are going to play, and most armies do include a Titan or two. The current Epic Armies are SM, IG, Ork, Eldar, 'Nids, Chaos, plus F/W Tau & Kroot and for us "old timers" the Squats. Average points for an Army is around 2000-3000, roughly ...

For a balanced army you'd probably need closer to 3000 pt to include a titan. ...But then again this also varies depending on which army you play. Grand Tournament Armies willl be either 2500 or 3000 but personally I prefer games at arround 5000 as they allow you to field more titans:p The most expensive titan in E:A so far is the Eldar Warlock Titan at 1000 pt. A warlord is 850, Reaver 650 and Warhounds 250 a piece. Ork Great gargants cost 850 and normal gargants 650. It's been a while since I read the Tyranid List but as i recall their Titans were among the cheapest in the game. I haven't played 40k since 2nd edition so unfortunately I cannot tell you the points difference between that and epic. Epic is more about strategy whereas 40k allows much more cheese and ?ber-units. In epic no single unit will ever win you a game which I thinks makes a more interesting and challenging game. Cheers. |

Hi! In 40k you worry about individual models and such. In epic you command platoons, companies or even battalions. Epic has models that could never be realistically fielded in a 40k battle, like titan battlegroups, whole companies of tanks and artillery and even squadrons of fliers. It gives you a "grand battle" feel unlike 40k which is a skirmish game. They are games at opposite ends of the scale of conflict. Primarch |
