Ok...my idea for a new epic army:

No troops...

just lots of long range artillery (namely 20 or so basilisks im going to get from otterman/other friend)

A large amount of Shadowswords & Stormswords

And a nice amount 20 Leman Russ tanks....

You might like The armylist that's linked-to on this page. :)

It's the Armoured Regiment armylist I've been idly working on with a lot of input from the guys here.


PS: Armoured Company would be 40k scale... in Epic, it's an Armoured Regiment! :D

what only 20 leman russes... take at least 30

The amount of firepower is obscene. I've seen uge orky warbands just melt away in one shooting phase from a single company.

Well not quiet Regiment - more like Battalion. Actually a battlegroup.

I definitely think that the Armored Regiment List has potential.

Ok true - but 3000 points is ~ a Battalion. 10k is easily a Regiment.

I'd agree that's a pretty good ballpark for an Armoured Regiment in Epic.

Yes, a Task Force or small Battle Group ...  20 FA Tubes = an FA Bn (a US FA Bn had 24 Tubes), 20 L/Russes = 2 Armor Companies (USSR). And A Large amount of SHTs ? More than 20 ?  About 25-30 ?  So again that's about 2-3 Heavy Tank Companies ... So your Force would consist of 4-5 Tank Companies with an FA Bn in Direct Support.  Roughly that would = 2 Bns ... which is a Small Regiment/Regimental Combat Team/Battle Group ...  4-5 Armored Companies supported by an FA Bn is a powerful force.  But would have some problems in some situations and violates the very effective combined arms concept ...  But go for it and see what happens ?              :D

Hmmm... melting Orkses... *drools*  :D

I guess, as fun as this army would be, you'd need to offset it's weaknessess somehow; I assume you'd not be using this army in 3k point tourney settings?

Hmmm....this concept requires some playtesting.  I think I have enough to field 3 russ co's, 3 arty co's, and 3 or 4 SHT co's.   Alot would depend on the terrain...and your mobility would be , err,  constrained.  But potentially workable.    hmmmmm....

No sentinels in the Armored Regiment list - Salamanders, but they are basically the same.

Edit: I have been corrected.

Salamanders have a top speed of 35cm, so as a scouting formation they're significantly faster than sentinels.
