Netepic Armageddon is a 6mm (1:285 scale) wargame set in the Warhammer 40 000 universe. In 2003 GW published the fourth edition of Epic, Epic Armageddon.The game relied on community feedback during development and the living rulebook was made available via GW's Fanatic website. The rules are still available for free, but not supported by GW any more. Until the promised return of the specialist games by GW, the game is developed by the fans in the form of Net Epic Armageddon.
>Where do I get the rules? tp.net-armageddon.org/ >Where do I get those fan made minis that show up everywhere? You post your email in Epic threads and hope that one of the recasters contact you. >Where else can I get miniatures? There is a lot of old epic stuff on Ebay and some manufacturers produce good proxies, like vanguardminiatures.co.uk/. Tacticalwargames.net, and other forums or facebook groups also do lots of trading in second hand epic minis. >What's the game like? Players alternate using parts of their armies called formations rather than moving and fighting with their entire force. Morale and fatigue is represented by giving “Blast Markers” to a formation when something bad happens to it, which gradually makes it less effective and stops more and more units in the formation from acting until they rally. The scale makes units with longer range weapons or high movement speed stand out more, makes manoeuvring more important and allows for the use of many units that are superheavy or above in Warhammer 40 000, such as Baneblades, fliers, knights or titans without warping the game too much.
In this user's opinion, this is a great gamers game as well as a great hobby game. Not as clumsy or random as 40k. An elegant game... for a more civilized age.
This is what the forumware Reaver titan that you can buy from shady recasters that lurk on Veeky Forums looks like. The head shield is detachable and reveals the cockpit detail with the moderati and princeps, and it comes with several weapon options.
In game it's a beast like most titan weight units, but blowing up a bunch of tanks or several entire squads of infantry in a turn of shooting is not quite as terrifying when you have tons of them. Or titans of your own.

Bumping in the vain hope there's an Epic community within 2 hours of the Smoky Mountains.
6mm scale is the scale for me, especially with all the affordable third party model makers.

If you have anyone to play with at all, even if they don't play epic, collecting 2 armies doesn't break the bank and is a good way to introduce others to a tinier flavour of plastic crack.
I built an eldar and a space marine force when I first started and played with anyone who wanted to try.

Ah, about that, I do own the moulds - the original ones from the original creator - but with the condition of them... Ive had to re-print the entire titan and start from scratch with the moulds. So yes I can sell them... soon...
In all likelihood one of the other myriad of fellow dodgy bastards is able to sell you casts-of-a-cast in the meantime.

Also if anyone cries "where have I been" - blame the 'Strayans, they have a habit of sending me requests that suck up all my evenings for a month at a time.
Aaron Miller
I bought a pretty fresh cast besides some minor warping of the thin pieces due to pressure difference during making of mold vs casting of the resin I think, close to the end of last year, so they are still available from dodgy bastards like you said.
Also, I would do shameful, unspeakable things to you or people of your choosing in exchange for that 3D file.
Also, thank you for your service to the hobby, It's so great that people keep producing the forumware.

so it seems that posting a mail contact in these threads could help having a catalogue... orlysedai@hotmail.com
problem is, people willing to have some stuff will spam their e-mails and these threads will fuck off sooner, so to alleviate this, have some fitting image

Also posting email & pic, bought whole guard army for 300 $ and looking to get more titans, baneblades, etc. Supernobonthejob@gmail.com
