I cant remember the specifics, but previously the Pulsa Rokkit sent out force field waves which knocked the enemy to the floor. Good fun, but not actually destructive. I would prefer if it was a Big Gun with Explode.

The Pulsa Rokkits from SM2 are bigger, so we use a 6cm burst template for those and the smaller 3-4 (?)cm Template for the E40k version (models) and we went with HE instead of the SM2 rules. It works ...

I think they do require a little something to differentiate between them and big gunz. Adding Explode is the ideal method, I would have thought.
I have just painted up two mekboy speedstas too last night. I guess that liftadroppa is now just a zap gun (or whatever it is) now.

That makes sense, I think we're going to have to piece a lot of old stuff into the new rules. ?But this won't be the first time, since SM1 in '90, for me. ?We use a set of "hybrid" rules and take what we like best from all sources ... ?

I never saw space marine, but heard it was very comprehensive. I bet there are a few weapons/rules that you have lost, which you'd like to keep.
I suppose with epic being such a small community, its easier to introduce 'house rules' or modifications, to add flavour and variety and generally improve the game.
I may add the stat to my army lists anyway, and increase the cost of them to 150points extra's. I only game against myself anyway, so I dont need to ask permission 
I am going to have to really try and make the playtesters day at all costs.

Those are excellent rules. As a Skaven WFB player, there's nothing I like more than unpredictable weapons of mass destruction.
Oh why couldn't they keep those rules

Hello all,
I am dabbling with the idea of purhasing a few aircraft instead of the normal 'tanks and Chimeras' from Forgeworld.
If you've the time, would you post if you think:
a) They're any good (Model-wise, no reason why they wouldn't be, everything else is excellent!).
b) If the aircraft are a worthwhile investment (points & cash-wise) for Epic-A.
Cheers.

I have all the Epic Forge World models including the Tau & Kroot and many of the terrain pieces. All very nice, but a little "pricey", however the quality is worth it. I say "buy" ...  , but that's me ...

I like the Forgeworld aircraft, but the metal ones work just as well and are a fraction of the price of Forgeworld resin.
Plus, the specialized variants of the Forgeworld aircraft are just "counts as" models in tournament play. In other words, the extra detail on the models doesn't do much for you outside of aesthetics and scenario play.
I think Forgeworld is really for collectors, which is almost where Epic is now: a game for collectors since so few play it any more. I'm not sure if E-A will be the game that helps to "relaunch" Epic. The game's shortcomings are blaring. I don't see new blood getting attracted to the game and without more customers, Epic, most likely, won't fly.
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

I just hope they release the Epic models for E-A they mentioned, whether it's a success or a failure. ?Either way, Forge World will probably continue to produce Epic, a little at a time ... I hope ? ...

... ?Now with the realities of life creeping in, we do more modelling and discussion than gaming.
? However I started out playing solo Epic at first and might do it again... of course that way you always win ... one way or another
