Hi. There's heaps of topics on this board about the relative worth of the various units in E:A and I thought I'd make a place where I could put them all for everyone to read so they're not lost to the mists of time  I have made a website which you can view here. It's not 100% complete, but I have loaded the IG units at least (you can view an example of what I'm doing). If you have any comments about a particular unit or use of a formation or upgrade (e.g. whether Stormtroopers or Sentinels are better protection for an artillery company) then feel free to enter the text into the website for other people to see. If this thing succeeds, I'll see whether I can get it hosted somewhere more permanent, like, here!
If you have any comments, let me know!

We have talked about something like this before ... of course E:A has not been released yet, but many are playing games and getting some good input. ? However, I went to your site and I think you are on the right track ... keep up the good work !

Yep, it kinda came out on top on the EPICentres poll for highest priority addition, so there is a team working on one at the mo.
I am doing the Space Marines at the mo, note however, that we are concentrating our efforts on NetEPIC and BFG for the moment, we haven't started on Epic:A yet - perhaps we should pool resources rather than duplicate efforts?
How would you like to be an administrator for the Epic:A side of the Tactical Encyclopedia?

Hi!
It would be a good idea to pool efforts.

OK, sounds good. The text of the wiki is all saved in text files anyway, so it will be easy to move wherever it needs to go. Since I haven't done much with the SM, I'll leave them out and concentrate on the Guard. I also don't know much about the Ork list, so someone will have to help out there, as well.

Not so much the game system itself (although I'm sure it still has its supporters), but its presence on the GW website. Has anyone else noticed that the majority of the Epic references are for 40K and not Armageddon. Whether it be on the Fanatic sub-website, Forgeworld or in the texts and links of the main site, it still has a major presence. You would have thought that the least GW could do to promote a new games system was to do a bit of online spring cleaning.

Hi!
Its just sheer laziness IMO. They have not had the inclination or desire to update all the old references to reflect the new game.
I doubt a minor game in a minor division like fanatic means much in their overall business plan.
If it isn't core, they dont pay it much mind.

I get the feeling that the new logo design is a low priority. From his side remarks, I think Jervis was pushing it along for a while, but it ended up on the backburner anyway.
Overall, I'd say it's a pretty minor deal. It's not as if they are going to lose the tons of money they spent on branding...

The new E:A models can be used with any version of Epic you play anyway !
