Neal is correct ... more infantry would be good. But as he said, your list is playable as is. I don't know what Gandalf is talking about ?!

Ok, I'm kind of new to epic and after reading the rulebook and playing a few exercises, my friend and I are going to start armies. I plan on doing IG, and he'll be doing SM. We both play 40k so we're not new to tabletop gaming. SM 3000: Ground: 2350 points -Tactical Detachment (2 Rhinos, 2 Lascannon Razorbacks) - 350 points -Devastator Detachment (Librarian) - 300 points -Assault Detachment (Chaplain) - 225 points -Terminator Detachment (Chaplain) - 375 points -Devastator Detachment (Rhinos) - 250 points -Predator Annihilator Detachment - 300 points -Whirlwind Detachment - 300 points -Warhound Titan - 250 points Air: 650 points -Marauder Bomber formation - 300 points -Thunderbolt FB Formation - 150 points -Thunderhawk Gunship - 200 points I guess the basic strategy will be to teleport in the termies on a squad that will create problems, and I will keep the Librarian Devs and the Assault Marines on the T-hawk. This way, they can drop in and the Devs will support the assault marines while they attack. I guess I could also concentrate all 3 of those formations on one target if need be. Meanwhile, I'll have Thunderbolts/Marauders doing any air/ground patrol, Whirlies being a nuisance, a tac/dev team in rhinos for flexibility, a squad of preds, and of course the Warhound to hop around all he wants. IG 3000 (no aircraft!): Mobile part: 2100 points -Regimental HQ (Hydra) - 550 points -Mechanized Company (Hydra, Hellhounds) - 600 points -Tank Company (Hydra) - 700 points -Warhound Titan - 250 points Shooty part: 900 points -Infantry Company (Hydra) - 300 points -Rough Riders - 150 points -Deathstrikes - 200 points -Artillery battery (Manticores) - 250 points I think I have too much protection for the artillery, I'm not sure that the infantry screen AND rough riders are really necessary for that. Any suggestions for either of these lists? |

I think the SM list needs more tacs, but other than that, they both look fine to me. Tacs are the largest formation SMs can have, and that makes them the most durable. They are also just all-around good troops. Personally, I would drop the Marauders and take more tacs. That said, the list is certainly playable as-is. |

Crack cocaine isn't good for you and it messes up your judgement. Hey! I have 205 posts! That only puts me 2500 behind Legion! |

I'd put the Librarian on the land speeders rather than the Devastators. You probably don't need the Marauders if you have Whirlwinds, but I'd definitely be putting a Hunter somewhere in your force. Just having one will put a crimp on any enemy aircraft. I'd keep the inf coy and the rough riders with the artillery, at least until you can fire both deathstrikes. Then maybe move the riders away to take an objective. |

Thanks for the help/welcome so far everyone. For the space marine list, I hadn't realized I had no hunters! I'll see how I can drop 100 points to get a couple hunters. The reason I have the librarian with the devastators so that when the thunderhawk drops them and the assault squad, the assault and dev-firefight combo will be even deadlier. I like the idea of the marauders, I'll see how the whirlies work, and if I'm not satisfied, I'll drop them and probably get some more tacs/hunters. For the IG list, I guess we'll see how that goes.

Both lists should work, if played well ...

I noticed Gandalf's first post is gone. I don't know if it was a moderator deal or what, but for the record it didn't bother me, so no hard feelings. |

Well, I finally got my first order of E-A from GW- US! - 2 Rule Books, - 1 pack of Land Raiders, - 1 pack of Rhinos, - 1 pack of Whirlwind/Hunters, - 1 pack of Predators, - 1 pack of L/Russ Co., - 1 pack of IG Arty, - 1 pack of Stormtroops and - A blister of Ork Scorchas & Buggies! ? All very neat and most appear to have molded out well! Rhinos and Raiders appear a bit larger then the previous releases, but all in all I'm satisfied. I'll be preordering my next bunch tomorrow, based on the list in new issue of W/D, I just got today also. I'll check on my Fan Mag too! It has been an Epic Day!

Sadly, L4 is not the only one. When I ordered the EA rulebook, GW sent me two by mistake; and charged me for both (no freebies there). The really sad bit is that I kept both, didn't complain, didn't return one and demand $ back - I couldn't decide which of the two to keep.  So one lives on a bedroom shelf, with LOTR and Warmaster rules, and the other in the study, with BFG rules and The Generals' Compendium... Sadder and sadder still, I also have two Warmaster rulebooks... bought one, got given the second, couldn't part with it. The small 'uns have a big hold on me. I think I need help....

It's too late. Once you have joined EpiComms there's no turning back.  And L4, remember to post pics when you have the stuff painted in the way the regulations specify.
