    I have both. But I’m struggling to see what I could drop to get them in.

    It would either be the Rockgrinder, without which my Aberrants are legging it which I don’t want, or the Purestrains, which I’ve spent a long time painting and want to field.

    Or the Ridgerunner, but that has the same reason as the Purestrains. I spent ages painting that thing.

    I think I’ll just have to live with the list and accept I won’t get all the toys I want in at 1k.

    If you the biologus throw it with the aberrants. They are crazy tanky with the -1 to wound by have a character, Drop the pure strains and the primarch. Melee is rough right now.

    Biophagus is one of the only Genestealer units I don’t have but it’s on the list.

    And again, dropping painted units isn’t happening. I painted them to use painted stuff.

    The most impressive part is the different weapon options on those tiny models.

    I thought those were just for looks and that at this scale individual armament wouldn't make a difference? But maybe I'm wrong.

    I freaking hope so. Fidgeting about with magnets and weapon options is already too much in 40k (especially when even your most basic troop choice has three weapon options, which is insane).

    Looking at the announcement article pictures it's three battle cannon preds in the big group picture but a twin lascannon one in the individual shots, so it does seem to provide build options for weapons.

    Depends on which edition of epic they're basing it on. At least a few were very abstract with just attack values basically, while epic Armageddon for example hat actual weapon stats, because the streamlined system apparently wasn't as popular with the player base.

    It's been something through several incarnations of Epic.

    They start out with generic "Dreadnoughts".

    Then they split into CC and Ranged.

    Then they start tinkering with load outs.

    I'm more partial to the former (or at least the middle) at this scale, if I wanted full variation, I'd play the big game.

    yeah worrying about weapon load out at epic scale is not something i'm interested in at all

    There is such a thing as being too streamlined. Especially since a fair chunk of the marketing behind Epic: 40,000 was about how you could customise your force completely (no fixed unit cards) and I guess people expected their customisation to mean more than adding half a dice to an attack roll.

    Armageddon may have swung back too far the other way but it sure felt like making the decision to take more or less AT vs. AP firepower and the relative position of same on the table was actually significant.

    ...because dragons are AWESOME! That's why.

    IIRC they said it’s based on Epic 40k, not Epic Armageddon.

    They said second edition which is Epic Space Marine (not to be confused with (plain old) Space Marine which was 1st edition).

    Ah good the Death Korps unit in the legends also have the vox caster rules but NO ACTUAL WAY TO TAKE THE VOX CASTER.

    Arvus Lighter seems a bit expensive for a flying box.

    Building my BT Primaris crusaders and i gotta say, wouldn’t recommend for a new player. They are a bit fiddly. Great models though.

    Look out sir as a rule doesn’t exist anymore outside of line operatives, correct?

    Like a winged prime solo is free to shoot at?

    Unless a model has the lone operative rule it's free to shoot as as any other unit

    I am still curious if they build them up/out with options and leaders so they are on the same level as harlequins as an army

    Almost done with the Sternguard Veterans. They are probably the most detailed leviathan marines besides the Librarian? On the downwards slope to have the Leviathan marines done by the end of the month. Just 5 Infernus marines, the LT, the Biologis and the Dreadnaught, and they are all basecoated. So close I can taste it.

    I'm just middle-management, I don't make the rules.
