Hey folks

In line with my other recent comments I am going to be stepping down as Chaos developer and AC.

As noted elsewhere I am not going to be playing Epic rules anymore (a "voting with your wallet issue) and I am also not going to be working to extend the rules for an army list that GW has abandoned (in Epic scale) twice now.

I would like to heartily thank Jervis for the opportunity not only to test and influence the game via playtesting but also to help out on the development of two army lists.

It was a real learning experience and I think I gained some valuable experience.

Please don't think that I have reservations of Epic as a game. I still love it and I think that it is probably the best game that GW has come out with. I also think that the GT scenario that Jervis developed is probably one of the best scenarios I have played.

This decision is ultimately about GW and its corporate policies.

My actions and purchases help to reinforce what I think are a series of inexcusable decisions and I can't justify doing that any more.

So I am removing myself from the game and the process as a way to demonstrate my dissatisfaction but also to ultimately reward those companies that do actually treat gamers properly.

I wish the new Chaos AC the best of luck and I wish all my fellow Epic gamers the best of luck as well.

And, once again, thanks to Jervis for allowing me the opportunity to twiddle and tweak with his game and rules. Its a pity that GW has put someone like Jervis in this sort of position

Dang... but it's good to stick to principles.  Best of luck in your other gaming endeavours, pg!

Guess I'm gonna have to get out my lasso and try to snag up those Chaos lists... then my Black Crusade supplement can finally be completed!  Muhahahaha!

I'm sure that dancing on people's graves is generally considered bad form. :D


I'm sorry to see you go PG ; I might not have agreed with some of your opinions, but I had no end of respect for you sticking in there and doing the job of army champion, despite some very heated debates.

Thank you for your effort in getting the Chaos list to the stage that it is. I think that you have done an excellent job, and appreciate it. Also, thank you for being honest with the players.

Agreed, thanks for all your work with the BL list and the pestering that help to get the review through.  Will you be naming your successor or defaulting to the ERC?

I'll let the ERC set one. I'm sure they'll make the correct decision

Thank-you for all your efforts Pixelgeek.

Let me say that I enjoy the Black Legion list greatly and appreciate all the work you have put in. In my opinion it is one of the boldest lists when compared to previous editions of epic - and in my opinion thus one of the ones closest to the standards set out for Epic: Armageddon army list design.

Thanks very much

I'd like to take all the credit but Neal and Audrey really did out a lot of work into the list as well and some of the more interesting concepts in it were Jervis' idea so there are quite a few people who should share in any accolades that the list gets.
