It's the Armoured Regiment armylist I've been idly working on with a lot of input from the guys here.
PS: Armoured Company would be 40k scale... in Epic, it's an Armoured Regiment!

Ok...my idea for a new epic army: No troops... just lots of long range artillery (namely 20 or so basilisks im going to get from otterman/other friend) A large amount of Shadowswords & Stormswords And a nice amount 20 Leman Russ tanks.... |

I've seen uge orky warbands just melt away in one shooting phase from a single company. |

Well not quiet Regiment - more like Battalion. Actually a battlegroup. I definitely think that the Armored Regiment List has potential. |

Depends how many points you collect.

Ok true - but 3000 points is ~ a Battalion. 10k is easily a Regiment. |

I'd agree that's a pretty good ballpark for an Armoured Regiment in Epic. |

Yes, a Task Force or small Battle Group ... 20 FA Tubes = an FA Bn (a US FA Bn had 24 Tubes), 20 L/Russes = 2 Armor Companies (USSR). And A Large amount of SHTs ? More than 20 ? About 25-30 ? So again that's about 2-3 Heavy Tank Companies ... So your Force would consist of 4-5 Tank Companies with an FA Bn in Direct Support. Roughly that would = 2 Bns ... which is a Small Regiment/Regimental Combat Team/Battle Group ... 4-5 Armored Companies supported by an FA Bn is a powerful force. But would have some problems in some situations and violates the very effective combined arms concept ... But go for it and see what happens ?

Hmmm... melting Orkses... *drools* I guess, as fun as this army would be, you'd need to offset it's weaknessess somehow; I assume you'd not be using this army in 3k point tourney settings? |

ok ill add more leman russ (a?though i find them kind of ugly) and stormblades plus about 40 sentinels... |

Hmmm....this concept requires some playtesting. I think I have enough to field 3 russ co's, 3 arty co's, and 3 or 4 SHT co's. Alot would depend on the terrain...and your mobility would be , err, constrained. But potentially workable. hmmmmm.... ib |

No sentinels in the Armored Regiment list - Salamanders, but they are basically the same. Edit: I have been corrected. |

Salamanders have a top speed of 35cm, so as a scouting formation they're significantly faster than sentinels. |
