Here you go: One response from the big J himself.
It will be similar to the last sprue - we can afford to modify the sprues,
not make any new models.
Best regards,

Don't get me wrong, I buy and have bought directly from G/W US, mostly by phone, almost everything Epic, that they have produced for the past 12 years. ?And the same goes for F/W, (by e-mail), since they started producing Epic. ?I have only bought Epic, from other gamers on line, 2 or 3 times (Signius being the most recent). ?So my support of Jervis and the boyz has been is the form of large VISA bills ?  ! ?But like Cybershadow, this is a bit disturbing as well as being Great news, especailly for "newbies" !!! ?I collect all armies too (6 SM Regts,6 IG Regts, 30 Ork warbands, to mention a few)  . ?So that's a lot stuff. ?So I'm not saying I earned the right to be a little skeptical, =][= Alanius & Tom (I like using the =][= symbol!), but as I have said before, when I have it in my wanton hands, then I'll know for sure ! ? So this is great news ! ? Save your $ boyz, E-A is getting closer by the day ! ?

Just wondering about the new sprues- if they will just be mods of the old Epic40k ones, does this mean that we will have the Valhallan models being used as the Steel Legion- like Carl Woodrow's from Dropship- not that this is bad, as they look fine....
I'm thinking that this might mean that the sprues will be the same (very reasonable) price of ?1.50... Heres hoping they don't get a hike when Epic A comes out......

Well, as long as they don't change the Chaos sprue, as that has to be the best one ever made. To be honest, the only one I think that would need to be changed is the IG sprue. I don't mind the extras. . . The Eldar, Space Marine, Ork, and Tyranids are great. If there was anything I was really impressed with for Epic40k, it was the plastics. . .

Oh yeah, I am surprised that everyone is so excited about this. When I was bitching about the metals in the forum, everyone seemed to back Jervis on the ready to play out of the packet minis. I love converting, and really hated the idea that I wouldn't be able to chop apart my new figs the way I wanted.
BTW, I'll post pics soon, but I chopped the heads off my Slaanesh Beastriders and put them on two of the newer Chaos Marines to make Thousand Sons marines. I don't know why the Beastriders were given the heads that they were, but I also stuck a head on a Standard Bearer and Heavy Bolter trooper. I added a Tzneetch Scorceror and had a cool Tzneetch command stand. Try doing that with metal.

....The metal stuff was rather good too- especially the fantastic new style of Eldar vehicles, and the majority of the IG tanks- some went a bit overboard on the detail for me....

First off - hurrah!!!!!!! Epic plastics are back!!!!! Yes!!!! Kick ass!!!!
Second - If I knew they were going to do this I wouldn't have bought so much stuff!!! I could be ?80 better off!!! Oh well. I just have a lot of snipping to do...
Although many people believe that Epic:A could and will fail, I think that this has saved it. It will now attract more players as plastic will be back.
Also - I hope it means this but, will we now have PLASTIC TAU?!?!?!?!?!?! That would be sooooooooo kick ass!!!!
I just hope that they keep the price down. Or put more in a box for ?5?
Cheers
Chris
PS Plastic Tau would be good for you Primach! I guess it's 50,000 pts of them for you!

of course no one has mentioned the "huge" disadvantage that the new plastics will bring...
I won't be able to sell a few Imperial Guard sprues on eBay now for silly amounts of money
bah humbug

Well, you can but you have to get it up soon.
I remember when they started to see the archive stuff from Mail Order and I saw people paying 3 and 4 times what you could just call and buy it for. That lasted about a month and then people caught on.

There will be no plastic TAU I am afraid they are only making minor modifactions not new sprues.

Yes Tom, I got the same thing out of it. All the new figs, Raptors, and the like will be metal. And the new armies, Tau, Necron, etc., will also be metal. Either way G/W will get my full support in the best way it counts - by monetary ($) contributions ...
