Epic game interest? - LFG


Torg

Recommended Posts

After talking to several folks last year about Epic… everyone who the topic came up with said they loved the game - and would enjoy playing it again.  I myself like the game - I have several forces - and the rules (most current GW release as well as older versions).  Anyhow, looking to the new year I am wondering whom would be interested in trying to set down a time line to get some games of EPIC.  Maybe as simple as a one off game meet up - or a day long mini- learn/play day or even a short "league" … maybe as part of a Specialist Games event at something like OFCC …friday night or something like that.  Who knows … what sounds good?

 

Time line… weeks, or months from now?…  I am thinking spring myself - but it would be ok to be later or sooner perhaps?  I know I would like to play some Epic this year - I would like to try out forces and see if I would want to try and hunt down more pieces online or ebay.  I realize that GW is working on specialist games - but that could take awhile to get to Epic… and they could screw it up lol.

 

If your interested in playing some Epic - what kinda timeline is good?… do you have forces?  etc. I have the basic makings of Marines, Orks and Eldar armies… titans, garments and flyers.  I have some terrain and other things to play.  I can meet up at game night - or my place or anywhere else depending on dates and times.

LRB??  I don't know...

 

--- I would be able to play just about anywhere - like in the OP… (wOw or my garage (hubbard))… or anywhere.  I plan to work on building an army list from what I have for all 3 forces - and go from there.  In a month I would like to have a go-to box containing all that I need to play - or go somewhere and play.

LRB - last released rule book? Yes? - sometimes it takes me a bit lol.

 

- rules used to be free pdf online - (free from GW). But I've not seen them in a long time online anywhere. But there is also"net epic" which is a living rule book of sorts for epic. Search for net epic online and your sure to find them. I'll try to hunt down some links online and post them up.

 

As far as translation from the last release rules to net epic - I can't say as I've not played them.

OK - I have some of those rules printed out from that site… I just forgot where I got them lol.  Now - for those whom know this (because I am not quite clear on it) the rules from the LRB (Living Rule Book) are the same as the last GW printed rules - just clarified and with better FAQ's?  Also - I see additional material for armies that the last set of rules didn't get to.  

 

- Is that the gist of the way things stand?  

 

I will start reviewing my rulebook - but I want to be sure what I read is relevant in at least the basic principles and concepts.

Once rules sets are agreed to - then we can get a consensus on who/where / when to play.  As I said I am pretty open and ready to go as far as having the tools needed to play (aside from a good grasp of the rules).  

 

What is the typical point level that folks play?  2000 / 2500 or 3000?

NetEA is the best -- as it worked out all the typos and errata that GeeDub is notorious for. The army lists are much more flavorful.

 

As far as point size, I have 4000 points and it all fits in 1 one-level tackle box. Unlike the Epic40K days were you needed a metric ton of minis, the new rules are much more forgiving on your time and pocketbook.

cool - so are the rules "the same" as far as turns and procedures go?  If I am familiar with the GW rules… will the NetEA rules be a huge leap?  It sounds like just a clean up… true or not?  

 

I know we talked about this in the past Kirby - but my may actually have to make it to play ya some games - I would really like to get the basics under my belt.  I will work up some lists at 4000pts for the armies I have.  And make sure they are ready to go soon.

I'm going to play with army builder… (if the data is still valid for netEA) and get a few lists going.  How many folks use titans in their lists?  I can do the Eldar Titan clan :)…  I also have gargants for the orks ( all sizes) and for the marines I have war hounds and several of the larger options as well :).
