Hi everybody, I'm new to this forum, but not to the games and GW and the hobby in general (40k since '91).
Anyway, the question, or gripe, is the ork lists for EpicA(obviuosly  ). I don't get the Warlord special rule.
As the Warlord is a character it will upgrade a unit but which one?
The special rule also mentions a Warboss, which I seem to have missed?
Anybody care to elaborate?
Thanks!

Hi, welcome to the boards.
I just printed off the rules and army lists the other day.
It took me a while to figure out, but from what I gather, the warlord is free. He must be asigned to a great gargant if your force includes one, or joins a gargant or other warboss if you havn't.
I then looked for the warboss', but couldn't find them. I think they mean units of Nobz, from something that was wrote in the descriptions.
As far as I can tell, the only characters are the Warlord and Oddboyz. I dont see any warbosses.

There used to be a Warboss character upgrade, but it was scrubbed several versions ago. Somehow, despite the fact that it is pointed out every time, the reference never gets deleted.
The Warlord upgrade has to go on a Great Gargant if you have one. After that, it can go on a Gargant or a Nobz stand. If, by some freakish army design, you don't have any nobz, it could theoretically go on any other unit.

Don't get too crazy with the ork list. The supposedly "final" list in section 6.0 in the vault will have several more changes. Jervis revamped it in a big way at the last minute and created some significant problems which he has since fixed.
No word on when they will be added to the current files.

I think welcoming new recruits is a good thing, it means more and more people are getting into Epic! The more the merrier!
Cheers
Chris

@ Chirs: Thx for the welcome...
I would like to point out that I'm not new to Epiic or GW...
I used to play SM/TL and WH40K, but I've been out of the loop for a while...
I really look forward to EpicA, but you in this forum seem quite abysmal about it already, though you seem to like the rules.
The main reason I think Epic 40K sucked was the rules, the support for the game was *WAY* better than Epic 2nd ed.

Quick addition: Just got this e-mail from Jervis:

first batch of miniature releases are now available to advance order direct
from Games Workshop in the UK. Placing an advance order ensures that your
purchases are sent to you as soon as they are released, and is the best
way
to avoid missing out. For more information, call the Hobby Specialists

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year,
