I was thinking that the new-ish Forgeworld gunwagons could be used as Battlefortress. Does anyone know the size of the Forgeworld gunwagons against the old Skullhamma model? I was banking on Forgeworld's tendency to "go big".

I've only seen the W40K one in real life and not the epic version but I don't think it'd really be big enough to look right as a Battlefortress...

I got some a while back.

I'm afraid they come in too small (IMHO). They're just a tiny fraction longer than the old Bowl Burna model (first that came to hand to compare!). They're certainly noticably smaller than the Battlefortress'

Hi!

I ordered some and they are too small for a battle fortress.

Hi!

Are the epic 40k battlefortresses hard to come by?

Not really. However, 3 nicely sculpted brand new ones for a ?5 would have been nice!

Just wanted to pass on some news I got from my Forgeworld news letter to any interested persons.

There is mention of a upcoming Epic Tau Orca and Sky Ray.  No pics sorry.

Take Care

Hello, I'm new to this whole epic thing but I was 'forced'    to buy a Tau army. Any reports on what the current v 1.3 rules play like? My force is still on the orcas being painted :D

Hi and welcome :)  

Hmmm... OrcaS you say!?! :oo  Sounds like quite a strain on the old bank account there :D
Please do post some pics once you get the stuff painted -this is becoming more or less mandatory by now :;):

Uhm, oh,:And as for your original quiestion: I'm sorry but I havent been able to test out the Tau rules yet (nor bought any of those marvelous (though expensive) FW minis.

Cheers! :)

The f/w tau paint up very well with minimal effort. You don't need to have the best paint job, no ork will get close enough to see the uniform if we're lucky! As for the orca, well very nice with a price tag to match :(

The current Tau rules are ok, but they will be subject to revisions when they come up for real playtesting (most of the trial rules are officially 'on the backburner', with usually only 3 armies being heavily playtested at a time). I believe the anti-charge move will be changed to be crisis suits only in the next revision, but apart from that, I can't remember :)

You can search the official epic boards and see what the consensus was, though.

Thanks. I had heard that the 'pull back' rule was a bit too nice. So I shall stick with it for a while so I can get used to the rules. Oh and use it to kill eldar as much as pos' :laugh:
