I don’t like the list system. It’s a bunch of arbitrary limitations based on an individual’s interpretation of the fluff and, it often feels like, his miniatures collection.
A lot of us got into Epic late enough that eBay has been a major source of minis and forumware is dead. Getting those semi-random purchases to line up with the increasingly restrictive lists is frustrating. Gather a gargant here, a great gargant there, a bunch of stompas which are easy to find… and oh, wait, stompas no longer go into gargant lists (how arbitrary is that??). Time for another long search before a 3,000 point gargant army is possible.
On a similar note, someone’s decided that armies with one titan are okay, and armies with 3-6 battle titans are okay, but two? Oh no, can’t have that!
Then you’ve got the armies that require picking a few 500+ formations, each of which allow one or two <200 point formations. Getting the math to work out sometimes seems to mean everyone’s 3,000 point lists look the same. With some of the titan lists the formations were either really expensive or really inexpensive, with nothing in between, so it didn’t seem possible for me to fill out a 3-400 point gap after starting with what seemed to be a reasonable core. Or maybe I’m just really bad at math if that isn’t a common issue.
Hi!
We've noticed this in net epic as well. The old SM2 formations were large and very painful to put together in the post GW epic era.
To permit people to use "whatever they have", we are designing a points formula and under a "platinum" version will release a looser system to let people use what they have, as well as permit the older options.
I think a lot of the old restrictions need to be discarded to reflect the new reality of collecting epic.
