They did one of these on Portent awhile ago...but this one is far far better.

I'm going to have to do some digging for a few of these...back in awhile!

Thanks Centurion- Great Idea! :cool:

Hi!

Dang, I only know one, reaver variants, Hun and goth.

The rest are too new for me to know.

To address the balance and give some real OLD trivia, here's some more questions:

1. What are "psych-out" grenades made of?

2. The true origins of the Emperor?

3. First chaos god to be born?

4. Name of the largest battle during the horus heresy?

5. Name of the frigate that escaped with loyalists to warn the emperor of horus's treason?

6. What was the name of the elders where Horus was possessed?

Oh I remembered the adjutant's name is Bejaind.

L4,
I guesses I missed the Vandal variant, don't have WD 109

Primarch,
Most of this is early fluff. I know 3,5 and 6 but 4 I'm not
to sure.

I know the answers to some of these questions and where to find the answers to most of the others, but I'm too indifferent to GW to do so.

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Hi!

Most of my questions you can get from old epic books, naturally.

No problem Centurion, I'm so "old school" it's rumored I knew the Emperor when he was just a SGT !!! :laugh:

I thought the same thing Maksim, I remember seeing something about most of these questions, but I'm too busy (read = lazy !) to do the research ! :;):

Hi!

It seems the we epic gamers have another thing in common...

..laziness, of course thats a relative thing. We're pretty energetic when it comes to playing epic though....

Actually I quite like the fluff and doing stuff like this.

Its GW the Company and its policies I'm indifferent to, but I like the background and (most) of its development. If I didnt I'd be using Epic minis to play Dirtside or something similar.

Just my Aus$0.02 worth...

The metabolic waste of the Emperor. That's why they scare the S**t out of psykers...

2. The true origins of the Emperor?

He was born after mongolian shamans committed a ritual suicide together so that he would be created.

3. First chaos god to be born?

Khorne

4. Name of the largest battle during the horus heresy?

Hm, I'm not sure on this one but I'd say the battle for the Earth. The largest _tank_ battle was fought on Tallarn.

Hehe, I just posted that a couple of days ago: Eisenstein.

6. What was the name of the elders where Horus was possessed?

Elders of the Knife of Stone
