I just downloaded the new .pdfs and noticed there are some really nice illustrations in the book. I especially like the executioner on p.86 and the assault marines on p.27 and the crazy grot bike on p.104, which just begs to be converted to name a few.

Now a question to the sneaky gits, er, _proficient playtesters_ who have the book: could you list the names of the artists in there?

AAAAAAAAARRGGGHHHH!!! Mojarn, you almost killed me! I checked the vault and found the NEW ELDAR PDF (check it out if you've not seen it) and saw NO FIREPRISM TROUPE!!!!! By the time my mechadendrites were calling the paramedics one of the brighter ones, VISEb2, realised that falcon squadrons can be upgraded to Fire Prism troupes. RELIEF! Ok, remember that I have no alcons yet and have been converting Fire Prism stand-ins like mad in the Eldar Diary...
I realise more than ever I need to invest in Falcons (and flyers!)
The sedative (qv) has now worn off.... :oo

Don't worry Vanvlak. You can trade in the falcons in the troupe  for fireprisms to make an all fireprism falcon troupe. (that sounded kind of weird :oo )

I agree the new illustrations are very nice! I wonder if any of them are in colour in the finished boook?

Cheers!

Would you mind if the falcons were of the turretless AT/SM vintage? And just how many would you need?

Say cheers to your servo arm. Did you know he writes to this board with your username when you are sedated?  :laugh:  :p

Hi Mojarn,
yes, you're certainly life-threatening.
The falcons I've converted to Firewings or Fireprisms or whatever are the old plastic ones you mention (I think) -  weapons too unlike the 'real' Falcon. Thanks though.

(aside)
Hey - which one of you servo arms was that writing ?!? :angry: Own up now!  :angry:  :angry:

Thanks Warmaster. In my case it's even worse - a  Firewing FirePrism Falcon troupe! Aaaaagghhh!

Hi!

Everyone knows, Mojarn is hazardous for your health.

He should have a surgeon general warning in his sig.... :p

Well i have to say i'm a little disapointed with the coverage epic has so far got and i haven't been expecting much. I just recieved the April edition. The Epic article it advertises on the GW website - collecting an IG army amounts to no more than 2 sides plus a scenario of sorts. I'd have hoped for a little more than that. Oh well.

While i remember, i was also a little puzzled at how the valkyries and vultures were advertised. WD said they came in a blister of 4 valkyries and 2 vultures for ?10 which seems a little odd and contradicts the epic catalogue. Does snyone know exactly how they will be sold?

Hi!

I didn't expect any major coverage beyond a "showcase" type article to show what epic is. A battle report would have been nice.

I would like to know too regarding the packaging of the vultures and valkyries. Its one of the few units I intend on buying.  :)

Yes, I don't like that I have to buy a company when I only want a platoon or single vehicle ... oh well, I'll be selling my extras ...

What I would really like to see is a massive battlereport (say 5-6000 pt) which really shows what differentiates Epic from 40k. The introductory battle rep in issue 290 was just plain ridiculous IMO.

Good thing about the price drop though :)


Cheers!
