Yes. I think these are just the initial draft army lists. But judging from the way they are batched together i believe it is safe to assume that we will see the contents of each printed book resemble what is released together (eg. CSM, Cultists, Ulthwe, Cadians, Blood Angels in one book.) There does seem to be certain thematic resemblances for each month's releases.
Cheers!

Yep. They definitely line up with the projected releases. #1 is Swordwind, #2 is the chaos release, #4 is the Nids release, #3 and #5 are a bit odd, but could definitely be the Necron and Tau releases (at least the projected releases at this point).
And I'm rather interested in the AT/Orkimedies test lists. I've been itching to buy some new gargants anyway...

Actuallly it makes pretty good sense: Diddn't Jimbo have a pic on his site of what appeared to be an Epic scale Baal Predator?
Also there's the whole "Black Rage and Flesh Tearers possibly turning chaos"-discussion which might have some sort of influence on this choice... But i do agree: If this was an EOT related thing Space Wolves would seem much more appropriate. BTW I wonder how long it will be before we see aa SW list... 
Cheers!

Typical, I spend ages choosing a SM chapter that I hoped wouldn't be given a list and force me to potentially change/remove various units from my early ideas, steering clear of Space Wolves, etc. and decided on the relitively "plain" Imperial Fists... and what happens! A list is gonna come out for Imperial Fists! There isn't even a mention of Space Wolves on that post and I thought they'd be one of the first to be given a unique list.
Apart from that, I'm glad to see the sheer number of armies that are going to be given unique army lists. Giving the player a huge range of army choices will hopefully make E:A a lot more characterful (especially at tournaments) than some of the other games and previous editions of Epic. Good to see.

Orkimedes = gargantz = lotz = Gargant-size Landa?
If Orkimedes = Armageddon then gargantz + lotz = Tellyporta
If Tellyporta = big teleport device = Big model of Tellyporta
Or gargantz + lotz = Big Landa
Then HUZZAH!!!!!!
Perhaps Deffsta's time has come at last?
Then again, should I start or should I wait for the list?
Things to do:
- List Gargants
- dust Deffsta
- design Landa
- design Tellyporta (you never know..)
- clear space in display cabinet
- submit post #500 to Epicomms..

Now this is good news! I'll be waiting for the Marine and especially Titan Legion lists.
And Vanvlak, don't forget the "Deff's Hed" Gargant mob with the Boss Gargant Supa Sta Destroyer.

Titan Legions list...sounds like an excuse for lots of Titans! Plus, will we see the return of knights and ordinati?
Cheers
Chris

Aww nuts. I guess that I am the only who is not ecstatic about Titan Legions. I have two Warhounds in my Epic Marine force that I am (very, very slowly) building - Romulus and Remus.  I wanted one to be an Inferus pattern weapon fit, but I only know the cost of the standard weapon fit.
If the Infernus is a different points cost, I will either have to change the army to accomodate, or get a single standard weapon fit, just in case!

I hope they include the Imperator as well, so we can use it "legally" for once...but then again, that means a new Imperator! YES!!!
Indeed Iain, many people are ecstatic about the list now! I wish they would release it earlier, like today!
Cheers
Chris

I don't know that the megagargants and imperators will be included. My guess is that weapon fits for the imperials and titan company rules/points will be very tough to balance as it is, without throwing in entirely new units that really push the scope of the rules systems.
Per JJ's commentary, knight households will probably be included in the AT lists, too. That's an awful lot of new units and rules hitting the table in a single wave.
On the plus side, though, the necron/AT is way out on the release schedule, so _maybe_ that would be enough time to get the massive necessary quantities of playtesting done.
Freshmetal: I suspect the changes to the IF will be almost strictly organizational and that very few if any of your units will be unusable.
Re. army lists: Most of them will be "beta" lists, and even some of the entirely new lists should be close enough out of the gate to only need tweaking (BA, DA, IF, the Eldar variants, Cadian) so I would call them "betas" even on the first draft. I suspect that the Nid splinter fleet (I believe it will be an entirely new Phase III structure) and the AT stuff will require the most testing, followed by Tau and Necrons which are still rough.

Well, there's a pic of the Revenant up on the SG website, and the 1.0 Ulthw? list is up along with an update for the Black Legion, Feral Orks, and Biel-Tann.
Revenant's pretty strange - looks like a cross between a Dire Avenger, a unit from Evangelion, a bit of Dark Eldar, and some Jedi style posing, with just a hint of the previous Revenant thrown in.

I think the new Revenant requires some time to getting used to. Looks like a nice detailed model but the pose is just so fundamentally different from the previous versions that it will probablt recieve quite a bit of flaming to begin with.
I think I like it though...
Cheers!

I like it - but I'd like it better if WH40K didn't exist - in particular, Wraitghuard.
Ok, I'm being unclear : it looks a lot like a WH40k figure used in an Epic game, a bit like an Exarch, or a Wraithguard with a new set of weapons. It's a nice model, but looks a bit out of place: I think it's the head - it looks too WH40K-scale.
