Where these creatures featured in old versions of Epic, or are they made up for this new game? Please let me know which ones were featured and which ones are made up.

And the Dominatrix would be as big and look like the Hydraphant? I know you can use a synapse creatureless Dominatrix to model it, but if you made the models accurate They would look the same except for the extra critter on the Dominatrix?

I think I made make some new (old) models from 40K bits. A warriors body with the new scything talons is a good start. I'll post some pics when complete.

Hydraphant is the new name for the larger Bio-Titan model.


The rest of them that you quote (Vituraptor, Expectorator & Synapse Node), were all made up for the current edition of Epic.


Sounds like you're looking at an older version of the armylist however, as there have been some changes from the examples you're quoting.

Yes, 8.2 is the latest Tyranid playtest list.

Have you played any games with your Bugs yet?

The Expectorator was conceived as something between the Exocrine and the Dactylis.  In the early versions (iirc), the "counts as" mentioned using the Exocrine for the proxy.  I took that to mean that it was effectively a redesign of the Exocrine, but ymmv.

The odd thing was, it started as "infantry", way back in v3, turned into a arty war engine... and now it's gone.  *laugh*

I used an old 40k Biovore for the war engine variation, but haven't missed it since it left the list.

I haven't had a chance to try Epic yet as I'm still collecting the minis. I'd like to play Epic on a 28mm scale in my backyard. Here's my Hierophant or Hydraphant in this case:

That thing is brilliant Thlaylie!

How "stable" is it on the table-top?
