I think the current expectation is that DRM will be creating their own rules set to go with the stunning new models that they have created. Now this leads to a couple of questions -
1 - Will those rules allow for the incorporation of GW / FW Epic models and races?
2 - Will the NetEpic team be writing specific rules for these races with in the GW fluff setting or will they be used as proxy models only? Human - IG, Kraytonian- Slann / Tau and Andrayadas as Necrons.

Interesting questions.
I had not heard Doug was doing his own rules set. Would love to see what he has come up with.

GW races cannot be incorporated as it would constitute an infringement of copyright.

I believe that DRM will be writing a set of rules.
I'm hoping Netepic uses DRM minis as proxies.

Yes, DRM is writing a set of rules to go with the miniatures. ?Vanvlak is right. ?Directly having GW names and miniatures would be copywrite infringement. ?That doesn't mean there could be a section with guidlines for building your own units.

Yes, DRM is writing a set of rules to go with the miniatures. ? |
So, was this information publicly given somewhere or is it just we have insiders here and some of us non-insiders are just hearing it?

From the first paragraph on the DRM homepage: Dark Realm Miniatures provides a range of 6mm Sci-Fi miniatures, which its hopes will be supported by a rule set that is currently under development. |

There may be a few official Leakers on these boards ?
Doug has confirmed previously & I can back up Audreys comment here that there certainly will be a rules set.
HOWEVER.
It is in early stages. The Primary goal was to put out the nicest range of 6mm sci fi available & to plug a gap in the market left by other manufacturers. This has been somewhat achieved, but is obviously ongoing & will be for a considerable time - theres a lot more models to come!
Work now continues on a rules set, Fluff etc, but please dont start emailing Doug (or me or others!) with a million offers for playtesting!
We appreciate your enthusiasm & I am quite sure EpiComms will hear all about it as soon as there's anything ready for a general playtest release, but they're not to that stage just yet & may not be for a while to come. Doug, understandably, wants the rules & surrounding product to live up to the high standards of the miniatures and we have the talent on board the team to create that (you know who you are if you're reading - good work all round thus far  ) but it still takes time._________________ Cheers, Paul "TuffSkull" T. http://hobbybrush.com - My New Website, with thousands of painted Mini Pics :) http://hobbybrush.blogspot.com - My Hobby Blog TuffSkull's notepad- My Old Blog on Wargames Wiki.

Hi Guys,
I'm not part of the DRM team in any way.
I would like to be though... if Doug changes his mind.
I have an idea who are the DRM playtesters / developers are, but that's Doug's information to release if he wishes to do so.
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

I just made some assumptions that were wrong, sorry if it caused any issues for you maksim or for anyone else.
