Hi All,
I've just trawled through 150+ proxy suggestions and added them to the database:
http://miniwars.co.uk/epic/unitsThere are many I'd never seen before, which keeps things interesting. I few didn't fit IMO, or had such bad photographs I haven't found the time to Photoshop them to an acceptable level yet. Overall the number of proxies out there now is impressive! I don't have time to be proactive about adding models, so keep the suggestions coming.
Onto the feedback request.

I'm not satisfied with some functions and the structure of the Epic section on MiniWars. Also I'm not convinced it's worth keeping some of the data.
Players - The map function is whizzy, but I don't have the time or technical know-how to scale it properly. To make it work with over 500 players I really need an AirBnB style map that only displays players that are in view on the map, and updates on pan. If anyone can help with this, they are welcome. Otherwise I'm thinking I'll bin the map at some point and stick to lists of players (they can still be listed in order of distance from the person searching).
Unit stats - is this needed? It was meant as a single point of reference for all EA stats, and allows me to generate army lists that are displayed in phone / tablet compatible formats. However, since MiniWars seeded the NetEA TP (
http://www.tp.net-armageddon.org/) the data has been full of formatting errors. Also EpicUK stats are unfinished and I don't have the time or inclination to finish them. Unfortunately, the proxy database is built around the idea that proxies are associated with game units, rather than phyiscal models...
Get Started section - is this needed? It's supposed to be an introduction for those getting into Epic, with descriptions of the various groups (NetEA, EpicUK, EpicFR etc.) together with a one-stop shop for finding rules and lists. If it's to stay, it needs fleshing out and re-organsing.
Events - probably will be binned. No interest.
Inspiration - Would be cool to have more Epic armies on here...
Anything else? Anything that could be improved / should be dumped / should be added?
Note that nothing (much) will happen in the near future. I'd rather be painting!
