Hi and welcome to the boards! I believe that Jervis is posting some official Tau and Necron lists in the vault sometime in early in the new year. He mentioned it on the offical forum. Their are however many unofficial ones avaliable on the Epica Yahoo! group. It might be worth a look. Some are a bit crappy, but others are well put together Hope this is of help Cheers Chris |

Did you try the Tau list in Epic Mag 9 & 10. It's as offical and probably as good as most others ? |

Welcome mcosta.. @ L4 ..the Epic mag lists would be for E40k.. although probably still worth a look anyway... |

Yes, the list is for E40K, but since it's the only "official" list around, it may be a good starting point ... Hopefully, we'll see something, soon, from Jervis & Co. ... ? ?

Hi! FOr such lists that didn't exsist under SM2, the newer Epic A lists are good source of inspiration. Primarch |

I think Jervis' revised Epic:A list will allow for Orca's and Skyrays and all the other things that weren't around when he first made the Epic 40k list. I for one am looking forward to it! Cheers Chris |

Okay, in an assault, you figure up your hits with your CC and FF attacks, including any MW and extra attacks. Okay. Got that. How do you determine who gets the MW attacks? Because the rules say you remove pieces starting with base to base first, so if the piece that attacked with a MW loses its target before you get to its attack, what do you do then? Is its attack lost, or what? Sorry if this sounds confusing, but I am kinda confused. The rules say just count up your hits, implying that FF and CC hits are counted together. Any clarification would be appreciated.  my 2cents, iblisdrax |

Reading section 2.2.6, I would say that all cc and ff hits are rolled and allocated (and saving throw rolled) first, THEN the extra attacks from MW's are worked out. It states that hits from macro weapons can ONLY be applied to units that are in a position to be hit by that weapon. (ie: base contact/weapon's range), so I would say that the extra attack was lost if it couldn't hit. When you head in for an assault, you simply have to decide whether or not to commit your MW units further into an enemy formation (eg: Warlords leading a charge into battle), so that after the first kills are removed from the front of the enemy formation, your MW weapons are still useable on those enemy further back. It's simply a tactical decision you have to make. |

Yep. All "normal" CC and FF hits are allocated together (starting from base-to-base and then gradually allocating futher away). Then roll saves Then allocate MW hits, if the target is lost, you don't get the MW attack. Jervis said this was intentional because he didn't want CC macro weapons to become to powerful like power weapons in WH40K. |
