I really wouldn't mind most of those books! Be it on the web or via CD or DVD disc, I would love a copy of them! Some of those would be hard to come by!

Cheers

Chris

This thread really demonstrates one of the best things about the Epic community- the fans working together to get something to happen is fantastic- good job people!  :D

Update:
Got another mail today. The resolution should only be 72 dpi. Can you resize the PDFs without having to re-scan everything Primarch? Unfortunately there's no update on exactly what they want.

...perhaps we could make a vote here for what articles people want to see?

Cheers! :)

I can't do it....

Files get compressed from 115 MB for Armies of the Imperium to 30MB at 72 DPI, B&W.

Not that these CDs were ever at my house - figmant of my imagination :o

Don't wanna sound heretical in any way shape or form by doesn't Jervis just link to the NetEPIC files? They are pretty close and small downloads....

I think the main thing of interest is some of the old pics from old WD articles, battlereports, scenarios, painting guides and stuff.

The big problem is really that these are all full scans ie. one giant image on each page. If the images are cut out and pasted into a new document and the text rewritten/extracted (using a program that can do that) the files will become much smaller. OTOH a full army book is much larger than your normal WD article so perhaps the size is usable for those as is? (i hope that made any sense... not sure I understand what I just wrote myself :p )


Cheers!

Hi!

I have no problem rescanning the everything in 72 dpi, but I do need to WHAT does he want.

If you can get a straight answer from Jervis I can oblige.

On a side note is there any way of re-sizing the files?

If you've seen my piece for A Tale f Five Gamers, you'll have noticed that I'm unsure on how many of my SM detachments actually need Commanders. At the moment, I'll have 2 Assault detachments, 3 tac detachments and 1 Dev detachment, with both assault detachmetns having Chaplains and one Tac one having a Captain.

Is it worth giving commanders to my other two tac detachmetns and the Dev one, and if so, which should I use? Also, how many commanders of each type do you get in a SM Battle COmpany box?

I don't think there is a single character in the SM Battle Company (the EA one, right ?) box. You have to buy the metal character pack, IIRC.

There is a lengthy discussion regarding SM Commanders on the official forum. My take (as an Ultramarines player) on them :
- Chaplains are good (especially for Assault Marines and Terminators), as they will allow you to alleviate the often higher numbers on the opposite side
- Captains are good, especially for Tactical units and for Terminators. But another excellent option for combined assaults is using a Thunderhawk loaded with either 2 Assaults or 1 Assault and 1 Devastator detachments.
- I find Librarians a bit underpowered right now, and best suited for Devastators (since their MW FF attack will then benefit from the 3+FF value of Devs). That's only good if you plan to use your Devs in an offensive role, though (aerial drop for example). Librarians can work with Terminators too.

If you have the points for extra characters, you could get another Captain or a Chaplain for one of your Tactical detachments, but that depends of the use you make of said detachments. The SM characters really are at their best in offense, so if your Tactical detachments are used for defense, characters could not be worth it.
