A small correction: the one on  P1010003 is not a Fire Prism, it's a Deathstalker Prism Cannon first seen when the "Renegades" supplement for SM2 was published. Fire Prism was published after that (when the Titan Legions came out to be precise).

Hi!

I just called it by its more modern name, and yes Mojarn has mentioned its "true" ancient name...

Long live Mojarn... the exact! :)

Yep. but prism cannon is not the same thing as a fire prism. Fire prism was introduced as Eldar AA platform whereas a Prism  Cannon was an interesting tank hunter: you could fire at another fire prism which could then fire at yet another and so on. The last one to fire would transfer all the previous hits to the target.

Ah, I see...
I've only used Fire Prisims in 40k where they are solely tank hunters (albeit with blast template etc), and this was what I understood them to be in Epic... looking at my E:A unit summary I see they also have AA capablity...

I also bow down to your ancient wisdom...  :;):

(I guess it was in that same version...) Fire prisms were good because of that because they could be hiding behind whatever scenery element that ws around. They did hit each other in that way and the last one lurked over the border of the scenery piece and fired. Return fire could only affect that one fire prism tank, so the formation was mostly safe from enemy fire while blowing your baneblades way. Or so I have been told. I have never played epic.

Hopefully with release of the Eldar rules Jervis will do an equivalency list as they did with the SMs, Orks and IG.  I believe they will... But in the mean time, we can work it out amongst our gaming crews ! :D

From reading the rabid in-fighting on the GW Epic board, I suspect a published list maybe a little time away.

I seem to recall that a published list was due in September, but looking at the posts from "fans", I suspect there is still a lot to be done with the lists.

Never seen such petty tit-for-tat posting in all my life...

One of the things I learned from the Playtest was that just because the "fanboys" were fighting did not mean Jervis had not already made up his mind.  :L

In fact, that is why I left the playtest site. It was fun when we offered Jervis ideas and opinions and then let him come up with the final format. Once it started to turn into multi-page attacks on each other (or in a few cases even against Jervis) I knew it was my time to bow out.  :l

Hi!

I read that forum regularly. The Eldar army list has gotten quite intense with some pettiness involved.

The sort of behavior only tells GW/Fanatic that sometimes its better just to design things and leave the fanboys out of it.... :;):

You are a better man than I. I can not go there and subject myself to all the rubish. Sad when you think of how much fun that board was at one time.  :L
