Well, I finally have the time to get back to Epic (after about a 2-year absence), and was thinking of starting out by playtesting Black Legion and/or Thousand Sons (easiest things for me to proxy as I already have a Marine force - plus there seem to be enough 'Nid/Tau enthusiasts as is).
With that, since I have been gone for a while, I do have a few questions.
1. How current are the BL/TS lists in the Vault?
2. Are these armies anywhere on the development schedule or are they just something "to be done in 3 years or so after we're finished releasing 15 other lists"?
3. Is there a particular reason why there is no dedicated Epicomms forum for Chaos/BL (or am I just missing something)?
3.5 Who, if anyone, outside of Fanatic is co-ordinating these particular lists?
4. Where is it best to post findings/suggestions/etc.? [Fanatic's new forums, Epicomms general forum, send them to someone via email, etc.]
Tks in advance.

1. BL and L&D are not very current. Thousand Sons is pretty close, but I've made a few changes. I think they are in the TSons thread on here. I'll be glad to give you specifics and/or resurrect the thread.
2. BL and L&D have a deadline for the Army Champions to turn over "final" versions to Jervis in September. At that point, they will be reviewed, tweaked and formatted. The official versions should be published online around the beginning of 2006.
I'm sure improved versions will be placed in the vault well before the September deadline for general commentary and the nearly-done versions will be posted after the deadline.
Thousand Sons is not on the schedule at this point.
3. The Army Champions (Pixelgeek and Wraeththu) for chaos have not requested Cybershadow set up an area for them. They collectively decided that the open debate on the Epic websites was not constructive. They are doing some overhauling with a private group and will release the results for public commentary later.
3.5 Pixelgeek and Wraeththu. They are both allowing me substantial input as I am the Thousand Sons Champion, but TSons is a very low priority and they are really in the lead.
4.0 I'm pretty sure they both view the official boards and epicomms in addition to the private group forum, so either will work eventually, or you could email them from their profiles. I'd suggest going with the official site in the Experimental Rules Feedback section as the fastest and most "official" (for lack fo a better term). Any of the above will probably work equally well for me.

Actually, Wraeththu has requested a Lost and Damned board, which is set up in the 'Focus HQ' section. She is currently on holiday (I think), so it should be more active when she returns.

First, Neal, thanks for clueing me in. I think I'm getting the hang of how things are now...[Though I still miss the old blue/white Fanatic forum with its endless arguments. Call me old-fashioned.]
Given the models I have available (and the timing of various things), I think I'll focus on LotD first (plus another area player is already working on AMTL - pooling efforts could be most productive here). After those are done (and as I get new models), some variant Eldar lists are a possibility...
_That said_, I'd still like to playtest TS; they are what got me into Epic in the first place (back in the SM2ed days), and I think the list currently in the Vault needs a good bit of work. [Plus it ought be one of the more unusual Marine/Chaos builds.] Neal, I'll PM you more about this, if you don't mind.
