I'm thinking of getting into EA and was wondering where I can find the IG army list as well as asking how complicated an EA IG army is (I used IG at 40k level but never at epic level). [Edit: 2nd Ed that is]

You can view the Epic Armagedon rules here: http://www.specialist-games.com/epic40k/Vault.htm
- click on section "5.2 Imperial Guard" to see the army list. Can't really comment on how complicated they are to play as I've not used them myself but their one of the three initial lists in the rulebook so I'd imagine they'd be fine...

Well I dislike 40K rules and don't play it. ?The E:A rules are very different and far superior to 40K, IMO. ?I say check E:A out, it is a very good gaming system.

Thanks for the link mate... I used to Play the Space Marine edition of Epic but when I moved to Uni I pretty much had to dump all of my stuff (Including probably around a chapter of marines and rhinos)  :(

No worries hope you like the system :)

Same here with getting into the Space Marine version of the game, although I fortunately got to leave the hordes of minis stored in my old room at my mothers house when I came to uni...

I started playing/collecting Epic in '90 and had not stopped since.  And that was over 10 years after I graduated from "Uni" !?:D ?Dumped 40K years ago ! ?:laugh:

Heh - I got to read about Epic during my honeymoon.....in Space Marine 2 days.... 40K came later, and I'm still into both, although you don't find Epic players these days here. And I'm at Uni too, but here it's a ten minute drive away. But then I'm supposed to lecture too.  :{

:blush: ?please first forgive my bad english writing ? ?:blush:

Well here is a few ideas for my Emperor?s Children Army I don?t make a copy/paste of my original document cause it?s in French and i?m not good enough I think to translate all in english. So this is only a digest :;):
This is based on the BL3.4 ... I wait for the new version of the list to make the modifications.

Strategy Rating 3 (lesser than BL good commander but troops often drive in their war pleasure madness) ?
Initiative 1+

So here are the core troops :
EC Retinue : from 6 to 12 EC marines : upgrading 6 standard CSM in Noise Marines ... so u can have a full 6 cult marines retinue or a mix between CSM and Noise (upgrades same as BL = NO obliterators ) ?: 40pts / units

Noise Marines Retinue (= Forlorn Hope) I keep it here even I know cult marines will disappear from FH in the 3.5 of the list : 6 Noise + rhinos or dreadclaws : 240 pts

New upgrade for Land Raiders and Predators : upgrade one vehicle with a warp amplificator => see below


This core choice open the possibily to get support ones

0-2 EC Chosen : up to 6 units + : Fearless Chosen with Blasmaster : 70 pts / units

0-2 Slaanesh Beast Riders : 6 units ?upgrades same as bikes + abiltliyy jto have a Champion of Slaanesh : 250 pts

0-1 House Devine support formation : Questor, Daemon Knights, Subjugator => this units remplace Decimator and Deathwheel

Titans and Navy same as BL ... don?t think yet of a specified Warlord Titan for the EC
All Daemons are Slaani : Keeper of Secrets, Daemonettes, Daemonettes on Riding Beasts ?

SOME STATS :
Champion of Slaanesh : get the ?Doom Siren (yep this is intented to be Doom Rider running with the devil :;): ) ?weapon that give him Small Arms / First Strike. Think too I can give access to this character to all retinue in the army
Change too the name of the Possesed Weapon of the Daemon Prince to Lash of Torment
Slaanesh beast riders : they have not yet stats ... my first think was to give them all the Doom Siren but think it will be too powerfull same stats as bikes (but realize now i don?t well remember stats of the bikes) with the names change as Warp Scream(small arms) ?and Lash Tongues(assault weapon) (for the beasts) ?
Warp Amplificator: Give Inspiring to the unit

Thx to Commander Irondeath and Nealhunt for their work on World Eaters and Thousand Sons
I took here some of their ideas
Thx too to The_Fifth_Horseman, Commisar Zak, and this guy on epic yahoo groups (I forget her nickname) I read the first EC list I saw

This list is not so extremist as the first have thought ... I which i could create a Tank with sonic weapons .. something like those in the Computer Game Dune II with the atreides sonic tank
Tried to create too a profile for Fulgrim ....

Comments welcome

Audrey i wait for the list you will do ... mine is purely theorical for now and never took the way of the playtest ... just some work ideas ...
