So... why would FW need to sculpt new masters?  Could they have just used SG Rhinos and LR's as their masters and then cast them in resin?  I'm assuming the core issue here is that the pewter vehicles were too heavy or something to attach to the T-Hawk.

They did use the SG models as the basis for their masters, but then they went in and added extra detail to the existing sculpts.

So basically, better versions, rather than new versions.

As said above, they were done as part of the Aeronautica Project, so they've hardly taken resources away from any other potential Epic models... blimey guys!

I'd be curious to know the eventual split on purchases... how many people buy the TH Transporters for Epic and how many buy them for AI.

Not that there's any way to tell admittedly but I'd be willing to be it will probably end up being something like a 10-1 split for Epic vs AI players.

I don't know... but I can tell you that originally, FW was not going to release the Rhinos and Land Raiders seperately...

Yep, 10-1 Epic vs.AI sounds right to me, Boyz. ?But I guess that is a good thing that they decided to release their version of the Rhinos & Raiders in sep. packs. ?Since they had the molds ... it figures that they may sell some anyway ... ? But IMO, I don't see this as a precuser to a massive F/W Epic release wave ... ?So who knows ! ?:D ? From what I can tell, they seem to be artist driven ... "shoot from the hip" and make what they feel and not what the game needs ... Prior planning does not seem to be a F/W strong point ... But we still buy their machinations, regardless. ?We'll probably never see a F/W Necron Army or Chaos AFVs ... something "new" for the game ... Like they did with the T&K. ?But I'm sure we'll see a few more versions of things we already have. ?That seems to be a F/W predilection ... :D

FW should really really do 2 things...start making more Epic of all types new and old and revivng older stuff...then they should make it so that every 40k thing is also made for EPIC of course, if there is a 40k weapon team there may be 3 weapons, in EPIC only 1 weapon variant b/c at that size its hard to tell anyway...the idea is that my 40k army could play after a huge epic battle has been fought out...

FW aren't even bothering to keep exisiting Epic lines in production (eg terrain, Harridan).  I think it likely that any new stuff will come out of AI....or nowhere.

Nah, that honour would belong to the various FW Epic stuff that was withdrawn from sale because hardly anyone bought it. :)

What epic stuff has been withdrawn?

The catheral and the tank factory, IIRC are OOP ...  The Harridan will probably re-released for AI ...

Also the roads and fortifications are no longer available from FW.

I would have thought there'd still be a market for the Fortifications.  I've had a hankering to buy some for a couple of years... :)

Not a chance I'm afraid. We have to wait for the Epic Tyranid release before that model's coming back.





On that note, if anyone is after any OOP FW models, PM me ASAP.
