I believe E&C has a good point. I respect the fact that you are working on this and all the rest, however it might be good 'public relations' for the team to release a poll on these lists with the names and let the players decide.

Although the list is not official and all that crap, by producing a publication and being so active on all the discussions going on, you are inadvertantly placing a rubber stamp on your own lists for the rest of us to use over any other word doc that makes it up.

Just make sure the poll does not include the name Squats and there should not be a problem.

Frogbear,

I respect you as a member of this forum and you may post anything you choose. I applaud anyone who shows dedication to the hobby, and a high regard for all who have choose to develop personal projects and share them with the community.

Far from "rubber stamping" my own effort, I sought permission from GW and it was granted. Please note that it was not endorsed in anyway, but I was given creative freedom after they reviewed it. I submitted a body of work to the ERC for review and requested that Jaldon and I be considered for the position of co-champions for the Squats and the Demiurg; that too was approved.

In response to your post, if you respect what was done, could you possibly comment on the work as it is now and offer constructive criticism?

I thought part of the NetERC ethos was open development?

It is.  As far as I'm aware, there's nothing "closed" about the "Squats project".

That doesn't mean work on "EPIC: Xenos" is "open" as that's a whole other kettle of fish, and the NetERC doesn't control that.

Jaldon, is there a compiled version of the Thurgrim list?
I know I made the army list version of it, but the codex(?) part, anyone done that?

If you search through the forum you will find a great deal of open development on these lists with noteworthy contributions from several people.

What I meant is that something as fundamental as the name of the race should come under open development.

What possible effect on the *rules* could the name of the race have that was "fundamental"?

Mosc is talking about the "story elements" they're putting in to EPIC: Xenos; that's got nothing to do with creating a balanced army list.

Moscovian has clearly made his decision to keep the name of the race a secret and there's really no point in debating this further.


Let's move on.

Chroma: If you decided that Eldar are actually not called eldar, they have a new secret name that you're not telling anyone, don't you think people would think that a little odd?

What secret are you talking about?

Your posts along with E & C's seem to indicate that an attempt to conceal things is happening. The basis for everything I've done to date has been posted or downloadable in the Specialist Games forum and here on TacCom for 4 years.

please clarify your concerns.

please clarify your concerns.

Moscovian has come up with a new name for the Squat race for Xenos yet won't reveal the name till the book is released.

Y'know what, forget it. It's not that big of a deal, just somewhat disappointing.

Shall we perhaps move on and leave the Xenos project to those involved?

Now then, is 5+ a good basic armour for Squat warriors?

Shouldn't there be two Heartguards? One ordinary and one upgraded with exo-armour.
