Hey everyone!
I just got my hands on the new WD with Epic:A in it!! I've only had a quick glance at these bits up to now, but here is a few things that might take your interest:
1) The composition of the IG Infantry Commpany is printed. It includes - 24 Infantry, 4 Ogryn, 4 Sniper and 4 Officer stands (Officers - Supreme commander, Commander, Commisar)
2) The battle report is Dark Angles vs Orks.
As soon as I read some more I will report back.
Cheers
Chris

Great, I will pick up my copy this week (got to make sure that an issue with Epic sells well, to create the right message).
Just dont tell us who wins the Epic report - I like to not know what happens when I read these things!  _________________ https://www.cybershadow.ninja - A brief look into my twisted world, including wargames and beyond. https://www.net-armageddon.org - The official NetEA (Epic Armageddon) site and resource.

The pics are as follows:
1) In the release pages, there is a pic of every model released.
2) In Jervis' article about Epic:A there is a pic of some Steel Legion and Imperial Fists battling some Orks
3) And the pics in the battle report
Cheers
Chris

I got this through my subscription though, so it is about a week earlier than the stores.
Cheers

OK...I'm confused.
This is a bit different to the Standard EA IG Company Det of Commander + 12 stands + Upgrades as Req.
This would make a "standard" IG Coy the base EA unit(detailed above) plus 2 Inf Platoon upgardes plus 2 Ogryn upgrades plus 2 Sniper upgardes - which is illegal!  Never mind the "officer" stands.
Which bllindingly obvious bit have I missed to get so confused?

That there's 4 sprues in the box, which meant everything had to be supplied in groups of 4 if you were to get full stands (1 ogryn per sprue wouldnt even make 1 stand per box, 2 per sprue would leave you with spares which everybody would complain at - 5 sprues as originally planned per box was too much for the price tag set by marketing).
Its what led to all the inconsistencies between the army lists and the miniatures supplied.  _________________ Cheers, Paul "TuffSkull" T. http://hobbybrush.com - My New Website, with thousands of painted Mini Pics :) http://hobbybrush.blogspot.com - My Hobby Blog TuffSkull's notepad- My Old Blog on Wargames Wiki.

Sorry Tas, I should have made that more clear. That is the number of stands for the BOX of IG Infantry, not a composition for the army list. No wonder you were so confused!
Cheers
Chris

L4 - where have you been man? You need to keep up to date on Epic News..... 
The main infantry boxes are re-mastered plastics. Sprues are about half the size of last edition's & contain E40K edition miniatures.
Later releases of specialist troops (such as storm troopers) will be in metal (but not cast in strips, on individual round bases like the first AT infantry were!)._________________ Cheers, Paul "TuffSkull" T. http://hobbybrush.com - My New Website, with thousands of painted Mini Pics :) http://hobbybrush.blogspot.com - My Hobby Blog TuffSkull's notepad- My Old Blog on Wargames Wiki.
