Is it my imagination or were their more Eldar models than their are now?

Could someone do a check through of the range if they have an old catalogue standing by or a good momory?

I think they have lost a Wave serpent variant - and did they do firestorms?

So ... I'm guessing that everything Epic that is not AI related will be gone from F/W in 3-4 months or so ?  Based on economic reasons, if for nothing else, I don't think their future review of Epic will change anything either.  And the future "Adeptus Titanicus Cortell" game will have little bearing on anything ... save for possibly increasing S/G sales for some weird reason.  Cortell's game is Titan vs. Titan and nothing else, as E&C said.  But some will still use the new "Bigger in scale" Titans with Epic ... and I see no reason why not ...  And I imagine new bigger Buildings will released for Tony's Titan game, too ?   Regardless if/when G/W-S/G dumps Epic, we'll keep it alive here ... We are doing that now in many ways ... :agree:

Bigger titans would just be far too big for me.

As long ago as Gamesday 2004/5 FW have been talking about 'truescale' titans so I'm not holding my breath

To my mind, thanks to the game's already significant abstraction, the actual miniature's size is less important than consistency in the base sizes. Just my 2 cents.

Eldar Firestorms can be found in the Aeronautica section.

When I made my order at midday yesterday the guy i spoke to had personally taken over £8000 in epic sales that morning.(not all mine :p )

Wow! If they weren't making a profit before they will be now. They would make more cash if they put out an announcement saying something along the lines of "We'll do a last run of Grey Knights/Tau/Whatever and then we'll remove them - get them while they're hot!"

They'll make even more money.

Wow, the thing that stuns me is that they potentially have £8,000 pounds worth of stock sitting around for a game they have decided not to support!

Any word from peoples orders if they are shipping or awaiting supply?

Yep, they would have dreadnought size and take up too much space in my carrying bag.

I agree completely! I am not totally surprised they're stopping selling them, but I am surprised they didn't warn us a bit in advance in their newsletter or something - it would have kept us happy and made them a fair amount more money! I wish I'd actually suggested they could do this to them when I phoned now.

They'll probably end up getting all the diehard players buying their next 3 or 4 years of purchases thus making them less viable to put back for sale (and making a fortune while they are at it).

What are the chances, do you think?  ;)

Is that a rhetorical question? :p

This.  Dunno if they'll make a fortune, though.  I mean, I slept through most of my AS Business Studies classes; but will a sudden flurry of vastly increased turnover for the Epic stuff, followed by no sales whatsoever (or at least for a while, and the die-hards have already bought most of the stuff they want), outdo selling the same amount of stuff over a couple of years?

Sure, I suppose they'll have a big wad of liquid assets from the turnover, but they'll just plough that into more 40K tank variants...

Aye Will Hayes has had a Truescale Warhound leg actually completed for about three years.

Tony C. did say that the Titan game was on their schedule, but was a year off yet.

To give that a figure to compare against, Forgeworld normally takes about two and a half grand in sales, total, during an average day's trading.

One thing I am sooo hoping for is a truescale Imperator!
