Hi!

On a cursory view netepic points to models involved is higher. So for a given points value there are more models on the table than Epic A.

I'm still working on a direct comparison, but on one example I did the difference was as high as 50%.

Primarch

So my 20k is only 10k in netepic?  :o

So I guess I need to make up my list in both so I know where I stand.  :laugh:

I am loony you know, so I do things like that.  :p

One nice thing in the NetEpic list I will get to count things like my Imperator Titans, so maybe it will not be so bad. :D

Hi!

This topic sparked my curiosity and made me take out the books and compare them. I made one major mistake. The list I mainly focused on was the Epic A SM one. Depending on how you constuct it the differene between costs and models averages about 20%, more if you buy more units where the difference is greater.

The IG list is another story. The price per unit, if I figured correctly correctly are almost identical. While the organizations between the two rules are different the final price for the same amount of models is pretty darn close.

So you 20k IG in Epic A ARE 20k in netepic, pretty much! :)

The ork list is harder since Epic A has different size warbands, but preliminarily the cost per unit between the two systems are close to each other.

So in summary, epic A is a LOT closer to netepic points-wise than Epic 40k was.

I consider that a good thing! :)

Oh boy, me too, me too.  :D

But I will still try doing a full list in NetEpic just for fun.  :;):

Hi!

It will be interesting to see how close they values will be.

Man, am I envious!

My IG can break the 10K barrier only with help from Titan Legions. :(

Hi Primarch,

*** Do you think that I qualify for the vaunted "Primarch" rank in any of my collections? ***

:D  :p  :;):

Shalom,

Yes, Maksim, do a count!

Between you and Tas I am sure there will be new apprentices soon. :;):

Hi!

The rule is simple one army in excess of 20k. I dont mind if you "buff it up" with titans to get there. Like I said 20k is 20k is 20k. You get them however you can. :)

What I'm waiting for is somewhat to take up the 50k challenge and be inducted into the "inner circle" of primarchdom. :D

I'm working on it.  :cool:

Like all good armies, I am more restricted by budget then desire.  :;):

I'll have to have a count up of my Imperials to see if they still reach 50K or more...... I'll report back sometime this century...

I have started to make some headway on the NetEpic version of my list. Here is what I have found:

Infantry is the main issue between the two lists, however, I will get to them later.

Most Formations/Cards match up very close.
Examples:
Leman Russ Tank Company:
EA: 650
NE: 600

Super Heavy Bane Blade Co.
EA: 500
NE: 500

Sentinel Squad
EA: 100
NE: 100

Artillery Co. (9 Vehicles)
EA: 650
NE: 600

So if I had a collection of 1 each of these:
EA: 1900
NE: 1800

Now where it gets odd is with the troops. NE has troop formations much larger. To use an example, let?s use a Tactical Company. NetEpic has it as 32 Stands plus a Rhino for the commanders. This is 600 points. In EpicA the same ?formation? is only 13 stands at 250 points. If I up the EA formation by 3 that would give me 39 stands for 750 points.

Just for fun, let?s look at the average per stand.
EA: 19.23 per stand
NE: 18.75 per stand

About the same.

One last bit, the NetEpic rules have a lot more variations available in things like the Titans. In EA they are either a Reaver or not. No change for weapon configuration. It is what it is at 650 points. But in NetEpic, I could build a Reaver from 415 points to over 600 (675 if I arm it with one Vortex missile and 750 if I arm it with three, but that would be just cheesy).

So, unless I am missing something here is a total of our sample force:

Our four vehicle formations from above, 32 Stands of Troops (39 for EA), and 1 Reaver Titan.

EA: 1900 + 750 + 650 = 3300
NE: 1800 + 600 + 500 (armed as the EA titan) = 2900

Or a difference of about 400 points. Or NE being about 12% less.

OK, So where does dafrca stand? Well my 20k+  would drop by about 13%, but the 20k did not count the Imperator Titans or my Ordinatus Armageddon. So if we add back in the points for them I am still above 20k.  :cool:

Hi!

Good analysis. Pretty much the same results I came too and as mentioned its a smaller difference between Epic A and netepic.

Try the same with marines and the difference grows.

Primarch

Of course the difference is also based on the formations you own, the difference would be greater or less based on the exact formations you own.

As for the Marines, I will look at it. Should be interesting.
