Specialist games coming back? - manrogue - 19-09-2013

Sounds salty to me, why get rid of it in the first place?

Anyway, thought i would drop it here for discussion.

-First Game will be Epic in July or August 2014
-There will be no individual model Boxes or Blister, only Game Sets and possibly "Expansions"
-Sets remain permanent in assortment
-Epic Game Set might feature Space Marines vs. Orks, there will be Sets for Imperial Guard, Eldar and Chaos

So cool if this is true, it might be y'know, cause I think they would sell more with a big release and then they don't need to maintain lots of stock lines but just the boxed game + expansions.

Well up for some Epic action!

Would love it if true, i am currently trying to source some of the Forgeworld Tau bits just to paint and display. Would definitely get a fair bit if true.

Epic used to be my favourite GW game back in my teens due to the Titans, massive tanks and all the flyers, so would love to see it get a re-boot.

I just found all my epic squats in the garage, don't suppose they'll be bringing them back though :-(

I'm sure they could be house-ruled though....

There is actually a community edition of the rules (similar to yakromunda) floating around, i wouldn't be surprised if they have rules for squats in that.

Depends if they jumped the 40k timeline back, but it's hard to use something once it's been devoured.

Really Keith? Keeping fit has become an obsession with you...
