I haven't really looked at the E-A Nid lists since the early days when we were discussing what to do with flying Nid Superheavies.
I'll have to look at it soon...
Shalom,

I still feel it's half-baked...  ?
As a matter of fact, I still get the feeling that much of E-A is still a-work-in-progress. But I do believe, like CyberShadow, the Bugs should have lots & lots of "grunts"...  |
Isn't that why it is called playtesting? It isn't a finished product, right? ?
The Tyranid, Chaos, and Eldar lists are still in the first stages of playtesting. I would be shocked if they did not feel "half-baked." I would expect at this stage the SM, IG, and Ork lists should feel more stable and balanced.

I understand that, it just seemed to me, a bit more piecemeal then usual. But as I said, after 12+ years of Epic, very little surprises me ...

After 4 sets of Epic rules, and seeing Jervis & Da Boyz, going this way and that, sometimes it looks like they just throw something out there to see if it will "fly." ?
Which may not really be a bad thing.
SM1, as time went on became really "half-baked", the Eldar never got their due, and Chaos had to use Titans as Daemon Engines (?,!). ?
The change from SM1 to SM2 was dramatic as was the change from SM2 to E40K.
So I guess I am little skeptical...  ?
I'll just wait and see and save my $ for E-A!

One of the things that can be both fun and frustrating about both Games like Epic and RPGs is that they are never really finished.
When you play a game like Chess or even something like Monopoly is that there is a finite number of rules. There is, for the most part, no Chess 3rd Edition with new rules for the Queen and 5 new pieces.
However, with each new edition, expansion, release, or monthly magazine something could change. Stats, units, formations, armies, background, and/or models.
This flux seems to sometimes be good, they can fix an issue. Or it could be a bad thing when things get out of hand, like the power creep that happens often in these kinds of games.
This means I tend to look at things as temporary, it will change at some point

No doubt about that, G/W is always full of surprises, both good & bad ... and that is in the eye of the beholder as well ...

I agree 100% with you there.

Actually, there were hundreds of versions of chess over hundreds of years (just ask any SCA participant).
Maybe that means that 200 years from now there will be worldwide Epic Grand Champions.
