This game has the best minis of any 6mm sci-fi, but where are the rules?

Why do people always want new rules?

Doug at DRM had the same experience. I'm curious why people aren't just asking for stats for an existing system instead.

Most companies, including all mainstream ones dont offer that choice. So we are used to seeing rules, then minis.

Ive seen neither stats nor rules for EW. I may just go back to Epic or try Dark Realms system.

Tom & his crew are  working on them ! I've been e-pals with both Tom from E/W and Doug from DRM, for years.  Both companies' figs are sculpted by the same guy. And both make excellent figs/models.  The DRM rules IMO are better then E:A.  I believe the E/W rules will be very good when they are released !

True, I would look instead to stick army lists for Epic, DRM and SciFi Commander up on the website reguardless of whether or not I had my own set in development.

The obvious response is to put together your own stats and list for one of the EW races for use in EA, and post them here. Lets get some discussions going, and see these minis against the Imperial Guard or Chaos!  :D

It would be great to get a set of files for DRM, EW and CH for use in EA (acronym overload!).

I did a Chaos Squat NetEpic list designed in part to use the Khazari.  Hopefully it'll be in the next Incoming.

Because that's what we've become accustomed to in sci-fi gaming.  The general belief is that sci-fi minis don't sell well if there isn't a set of rules attached.

Yeah, I can collect Age of Sail US warships and just be a collector, sci-fi figs require rules for me to squish bugs with.  :)

Two or three great sets of rules should be enough for 6mm sci-fi wargaming IMO, but new ideas are always welcome :D  .

Sci-fi commander is supposed to be an open rule-set, so you can adjust the minis to the rules,  or viceversa??

Anyway, I have been waiting 8 months for the Assault centuria minis, they have been "sold out" in the online store for (almost) a year, maybe they have any problem with the castings, or only the web??

cheers

No problem really, Tom the E/W creator, owner, honcho, Big Cheese, etc., has got a new caster who can do the volume required. So they should be back in production soon.  I'll let him know you asked ! :D

Hey guys,

   We have had some pretty severe casting woes :), thanks for all the patience, we should have it all sorted pretty soon.

   The advantage of all this though is that we have a slew of new releases to put out :).

   Regarding rules, we do have rules in production and of course we have lists in Sci-Fi Commander. Whilst we cannot create armylists for Epic:A or other licensed game systems for legal reasons we have no problems with other people using our models as proxies.

Surely there is no legal reason stopping you creating an armyist for Epic A? As long as gw copyrighted stuff is never mentioned?
