Since the previous ones surprisingly popular and I got interested in the game thanks to them, let's try having another Epic General.
1st and only rule: don't post caster/recaster information or material.
>Where do I get the rules? tp.net-armageddon.org/ It's based off of the Epic Armageddon rule set, otherwise known as Epic 4th Ed, with some minor changes and new army lists.
www.epicau.com The Epic30k supplement.
>Where do I get those fan made minis that show up everywhere? You go on any of the Facebook groups for Epic and lurk. Eventually ask politely if anyone has them for sale or trade and you might get a PM from someone who has contact info. Asking outright as your first message in any of these places will get you ignored.
>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/ and www.onslaughtminis.com.
>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 maneuvering more important and allows for the use of many units that are super heavy or above in Warhammer 40 000, such as baneblades, fliers, knights and even titans. While still keeping regular tanks and infantry relevant and effective.The new 30k stuff is also great, thought development is apparently dead.
Woa,, so this warhammer with smaller minis to represent even bigger armies, sounds interesting amd unique.
By the way, how hard is to paint those small details? I can only imagine that these minis requires even more work to make them look as good as those two pictures show them to be
Gavin Wright
From what I understand it's mainly heavy dry brushing with washes, and maybe a few details with a crazy small brush.
Blake Edwards
Painting is easier and well battles are bigger the main appeal is the games greater strategic depth.
Ian Jenkins
Can Sisters of Battle be played in Epic or did they never get rules?
Juan Jackson
Did they ever release rules for the Elysians ? I always wanted to do a massed flyer/paratrooper army in normal 40k but the flyers are expensive and considered cheap thanks to the stigma from older editions.
Isaiah Turner
They must have a list somewhere, since they are in the army list builder for NetEA
They seem to be an experimental list but I think most opponents would allow it. And if not you can just run tons of stormtroopers in Valkeries with tons of air support.
