I guess what was driving me to post what I did is that all this time there has been this grass-roots effort by the playtestors to encourage other gamers to play Epic so it will successful. I know a lot of people like the game and would like to see it returned to its glory days. I just don't see that happening if Fanatic releases crappy models. I know the vehicles look good, but those are just scaled down versions of the designs that already exist. If Fanatic releases models that look along the lines of the Warhound (which is why I brought up the influence of the sulpter's artistic abilities), then it won't matter how great the game is, no one is going to be sold on the poor designs. I could be wrong but I really doubt it. That is why I think it is disappointing.
Not to say that just because you have great minis that the game will be successful either, since Epic40k's minis are still some of the best and it wasn't a popular system. I just think that EpicA rules are doing the best they can to get people interested at a time when the only thing new from GW is a new army for WFB or 40k, and the new LOTR movie, but I can just see people looking at the Warhound in it's blister pack and not buying it. That is just that much lead that Fanatic won't be selling and it'll just sit. If they just copied the FW one I'd buy 4-5 of them!

Between Fanatic and Forge World who knows what's going on !? ?It appears we'll have 2 versions or more of everything ?! ? Which I'm not sure is a good thing or not !? ?But as I said in a previous post, much of the E-A experiment seems a bit ill-conceived. ?Then F/W makes stuff that may or may not be in the E-A rules ! ?Did someone say that the Salamander was out and like many other models will be under the Chimera heading ?  ? Which is the way we plan on doing things anyway, but in any event, it appears it lacks some logic ... ? ? Maybe it's just me but the whole exercise seems convoluted and an after thought. ?I bought the F/W Falcons and after I looked at them and my G/W models, wondered why I bought them ? ?Confusing lot these G/W-F/W types !? ? ?

Hi!
Gandalf, as always, I got no problem with rants, I'm usually the source of most of them. 
I can see your points, I almost always agree with them, but you do come off a bit "angry" in your posts. You remind me on how angry I was with GW after they released epic 40k. But, you can say what you will, with stinging accuracy, but with less anger. I do realize that visiting and posting on the Epic A forums has made you apprehensive (I have read and been entertained with your posts and spats with you know who...).
But dont feel restricted in posting here. This is NOT the epic A forums (heaven forbid), so you dont have to be apprehensive or too aggressive in posting. We all take your thoughts in the manner they were intended, well meant opinions.

Hey Gandalf, I am sorry for saying what I did, it was kinda out of place and made me come off as a bit of an as*hole.
Agreed, this isn't the Epic:A playtesters forum, and we don't mind as much as they do, but sometimes posts have to be slightly toned down.
Cheers
Chris

Does anyone know if the newer E-A PDF / Siege units have Mole Mortars?
Shalom,

I think there was just such a veichle in one of the pics from Games Day. It looked like a predator but had some kind of short doublebarreled main gun... Sounds very Baal to me!
Cheers

I have a half done conversion for my Flesh Tearer Force, using chopped up e40k Dreadie arms with rotary cannons and using the heavy flamer sponsors (of course).
Sadly though, I cant see it being completed before New Year though due to work travel commitments...

With the Ball being produced, I don't see a Blood Angles list not too far off...perhaps it will end up in Swordwind instead of the Black Templars?
Cheers

I doubt it; in the current fluff GW has dumped most of the high-tech weapons of the Guard (jump packs, land speeders, etc.).

Well, I finally got around to it...
I started working on the Jopalli support weapons.
So far, I have six Thud Guns and six mortars on the work bench. I decided to base them on 20x30mm bases rather than the Warmaster standard of 20x40mm. I like the way they fit better.
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Hi!
Take your time, Maksim. The good lord knows that even when one has a camera, getting free time is a feat in and of itself.
Primarch.
