AFAIK Will Hayes and the others who's been doing Epic pieces do so in their spare time as fun side projects so production is fairly sporadic. Of course once the minis themselves have been sculpted there's the matter of casting them up which I suspect is given rather low priority compared to WHFB and 40K.
Still it wouldn't hurt to do the petition but it is difficult to be optimistic.
Cheers!

I think this would be a nice, fun, in your spare time project for Will to do.

It might not be too hard to persuade them if you are just after some modification pieces?
btw, has anyone got anyone picks of those multipart marines built? the pic is awesome, i'm gutted i missed out!

When I spoke to FW at GamesDay I was told that whereas 40K items are commissioned Epic ones are not, though the Designers get paid for both.
Therefore the commissioned items always take priority and as WMN says the Epic models are done in the designer's spare moments.
Not all that is sculptured is released, anyone who has seen Will's pre-hersey Marines can bear witness to that._________________ Jimbo

Thanks for the heads up Jimbo, I will wait to see what they say about the idea. In the mean time I am going to have a crack at some Land Raider Helios conversions to see how hard it is.

I need more support gang, I understand that the task may seem impossible, however give me your vote of support and I can make a convincing arguement to FW to make these. Come on get on my band wagon.
Does anyone think that SG would have a crack at this?
Cheers

IMHO these SM conversion kits would be quite a way down any wishlist from forgeworld and in most cases could be self-conversion projects.
Personally I would be more interested in trying to persuade FW to add to its tau range - knarlocs etc, different titan variants, and to add chaos, tyranid and necron minis

I have a reply from FW on the topic.
Hi
I will pass your suggestions along to our design team. I believe the intention is to eventually do all our 40K models for Epic. However there is currently no time scale on this.

So lets see how things go from here.

Hi!
While they do get around to doing things it takes them a LONG time to do so.

. I dont think that they would be way down the list if we could get variant chapter list off the ground like BT and BA. Peopl are looking to use Baal Preds and LR crusaders in their armies right now. I am going to playtest the stats that I put up for the Helios over the next couple of weeks and add some feedback on that. People buy FW gear as centre pieces for their armies, something great to look at and add character, these conversions do just that for a marine player.
