Damn that went wrong... :O

Oh well the post was meant to be: Are you sure *ALL* IG inf. will be metal?

I think I read something about the old plastic sprues being redone? Or am I just halucinating?

Basic infantry for all the armies will be plastic. The sprues will be half the size of the E40K ones & not contain the "specialist" pieces - these will be cast in metal.

The Valhallan infantry from E40K are far superior in detail from the SM "codex grey" pieces. However, I'm no great fan of the Catachan sculpts that come on the E40K sprue.

Heck, can I even get plastic Epic stuff any more?

You can get the e40k era sprues through GWUS Mail Order no problem

I went a little sick and got 25 IG sprues earlier this year...but then I looked sane compared to some of us here didnt I...Hmmm?

Then again, I have used/traded almost all of them by now, so maybe I didnt get enough after all on second thoughts.... :p

Hi!

As Tas mentioned you can still get some plastics through, GWUS mail order, dont know how long the stocks will last though.

As mentioned, new sprues will be basic troops with specialist in metal.

As far as the game systems go, the bases dont make any difference, so base them as you like.

I prefer the long bases (rectangles) because I like the look better and...

They're much easier to paint!

I still use the square bases and pennies for some things (support weapons, command stands, etc.).

Heresy!!! Putting models on bases before you paint them! :)

No wonder you have a hard time painting them. What base I like reallly depends on the unit and army.

Yes, you can get E40K plastic IG sprues from G/W US as has been mentioned.  However, check eBay, you can usually find some of the original "old IG", as well as the E40K types, for sale there.  That being said, they may not be cheap, "So let the Buyer Beware !"   I have and use all types, Old Guard (SM1&2), Cats & Vals (E40K), etc., "Let the Traitors Beware !"   :D

Are you aiming that at me Tas? Indeed, I did buy 40 sprues of Guard, and they are ALL still on the sprues! But I have plans for every last one of them in my Steel Legion forces.

Are the Epic:A guard sprues going to have the Valhalans as Steel Legion troopers does anyone know?

Cheers

Chris

Couldn't find any IG infantry on the GWUS site: only archive epic vehicles that aren't very cheap.

As far as eBay goes, I'd like to buy some stuff, but I have no idea about pricing, having never seen an epic 40k price list to compare with.

Don't go to the G/W site, call (if you're in the US) or e-mail  G/W US customer service.  Last time I checked G/W US had all of the E40K sprues available.  Each sprue cost about $3.50 each.  So the older IG sprues on eBay will probably cost more than that because they are OOP.  But eBay bidding can go either way ...

Why? Do you have a guilty conscience Chris? :laugh:

Ah, I see. I'm in Oz, but I was thinking of ordering the BFG Apocalypse battleship hull from GWUS anyway.

What exactly is on the IG infantry sprue? From looking on the net, all I can find is the contents of the old Space Marine sprue, with the beastmen etc.

Really?  Only the marine sprues came up when I typed "epic" in the search engine.  ???  I wonder if they have some Eldar sprues under the counter too.  }:)

Just what are you trying to imply?? Buying 20 sprues of marines and 22 Exodites of each type plus 2 Warmongers makes me insane? They're coming to take me away, hahaa!  :p
