I picked up a copy of the Epic catalogue from GW at Lakeside this morning. 16 pages, full colour photos of everything currently on release, 2 quid. (That's 2 GBP...)
In the back there's a note on Epic:Swordwind, the Eldar supplement, which it states is due "early 2005". It will focus on the Biel-tan craftworld, as well as army lists for Krieg Death Korps, Feral Orks and Imperial Fists Space Marines.
The focus of the conflict will be the Baran system as the Biel-tan craftworld seeks to scour the system.
Looks good!

Catalogues are a waste of time, especially when you can see everything for free on the online store. The last BFG catalogue was really really poo...
Cheers

Generaly I agree with Chris' point of view, though I would say the catalogue does have some nice large pictures of the Ork Landa and Space Marine Landing Craft compared to the website, but is it worth ?2... my opinion is that they should give it away!

Guys,
Where do I pick up the new Epic catalogue?
I looked at the new $30.00 USD GW catalogue, which had no Epic mention other than a one-page "E-A is coming out mention."
Shalom,
Maksim-smelchak.
P.S.
E-A still hasn't been released in the USA, has it?

Hi!
Agreed, catalogues are promotional tools, I dont see why I should pay for one as scrawny as the usual GW fare.
Maksim, E:A is not available in the US yet....
Chris, Eldar 2005? they were pushed back already?!

We may end up getting something very similar with an issue of Fanatic, so I think I'll wait.

Hopefully, when E:A is released in the US, I'll get a catalogue too.
The waiting for E:A is becoming tiresome. ?
Hell, I have not even got a reply from F/W about my missing Epic Tau parts... G/W is on my S--t list!

I bought one (cue cries of "tool of GW!")...
...Its nothing special, just pics of all the models out so far & coming soon, a few Jes Goodwin concept sketches we saw on the net a few weeks ago and the "Swordwind models" are just the ones the 'Eavy Metal team painted for E40k...

I think the only Swordwind models that are painted are the ones Tuff did, and he won't give us an advanced preview! Please!
Cheers

I'd like to see the catalogue, however, G/W US has not replied to my e-mail about E:A or Fanatic Mag ? I'll try calling again ...
