Hopefully a year or so down the road, G/W US will be able to start Epic Archive and maybe even sell E:A as bitz instead of whole units. But it's anyone's guess ...

Judging from the GW archives in general, not much.

Hi!
Too true.
To me at least the archive was the last great service GW could do for epic. Sad to see it go.

Hello all,
Having been lurking over the E:A rulebook a little bit and trying to decide on my own starting army I was curious to know what you guys use as your typical force or if you have sucha thing at al (instead of changing your army list regularly).
This causes me to ask people to post an army list that they regularly use (in sketchy format, no need for exact details if you don't want) or if you don't regularly use the same list or variants of it, why don't you? Is because your opponents change a lot and you adapt to them? because you face a specific treat in some cases/alwaysand have found that combo of units to be the best solution? ....
Thx for your time in advance 
Health and sixes,
Xavi

We still use SM1 templates for the most part. Usually Bn size, with attachments. The templates are very flexible. So you can modify them based on mission very easily. We normally have Rgt size units, and can easily pick a Bn TF or two from those. Or we utilize "coalition warfare" and say ... pick an SM Bn supported by an IG Co. Tm, for example. However the rules prevent "cherry picking" !

For my normal army, I use at least one Mech Infantry and one Tank Company. My support and upgrades change to fit the army I am playing if I know before hand.
Overall I love massed infantry and tanks so the final point value sometimes adds to the number of companies I bring.

I second Dafrca, at least one Mech Inf Co and a tank co, and I usually field a battery or two of artillery. I add an inf co or a tank co depending on point total and opponent, if known.
my 2cents,
