andozane Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 So, after acquiring a few epic things, I got to play a partial game of Epic 40K with our good friend Kirby! We used the Net Epic Armageddon Rules which can be found at this link. Essentially from what I gather, these are the last rules that GW published before killing specialist games. The .Net community has added FAQ's and clarifications. We played a 3K point game with pretty basic forces. Though I do feel guilty, as Kirby brought a nice balanced Space Marines list to learn with, I brought from what I could tell was the equivalent of the Tau/Eldar Ally 2++ save destruction list of the Minervan Tank Company :) The game was a lot of fun. At first it is a bit clunky working through the unit rules, but we quickly found our way through them. The alternating activation turn sequence is a fun aspect. I have to say one thing I REALLY liked, and this may sound a bit silly, but I had my X-Wing Starter box...and in that box I put two 3000 Point Armies :) There is something to be said for the compactness of all the minis :) I can't wait to scale it up to 4K and 5K points. We are going to try and work in Titans and Flyers and Orbital Craft into the mix of the game. Planetary conquest is a must! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andozane Posted April 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 hmmm have not tried NetEpic... will need to dust off the mini's! Torg...be sure to look at Net Epic Armageddon...it is different than NetEpic which is a different rules set. The one we played is the Armageddon version.

Torg Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 ahhhh - well that is different… thanks - I will be sure to look at the armageddon ruleset. -d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torg Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 OK - so it looks like this is basically what I have already - which is awesome :). just the nice FAQ stuff added. - I will have to review my stuff and try to get something together to travel for a game. I have by memory a fully painted marine force (with 2 war hounds)… and a huge and un-organized Eldar force. I also have all the basics from the 3 box set versions I have of EPIC eheheh…. more marines - Orks…etc. -d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weav Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Space Marine/Epic/NetEpic is one of the few mini games I'm interested in playing. Is there a source for mini's other than eBay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIRBY Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Babich's Bargain Basement! Space Marine/Epic/NetEpic is one of the few mini games I'm interested in playing. Is there a source for mini's other than eBay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torg Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 depends on the army you want to play… I have tons of eldar… Ork and marine stuff from the early box sets. -d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 how the hell do you read that doc??? The script is so small and zooming in does nothing for the readability. Ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justjokin Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Found this guide to Epic Space Marine models and alternates: http://www.imperiusdominatus.com/2014/04/epic-scale-space-marine-model-guide.html Andozane pointed these Tau alternates: http://www.onslaughtmini.com/9-okami-technocracy-combine Onslaught looks to have nids, sisters, kroot, and vespid alternates too.

Weav Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Don, do you have enough Eldar to sell me a complete force? Titans, tanks, etc....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weav Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Those alt Tau are kewllll! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torg Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 i'll have to look Weav… the tanks are all the old style - but troops… titans… bikes… and that stuff would probably not be a problem. I will do an inventory and post it up. -d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 I'm looking for a great gargant, Armageddon style. So not the round ones or the plastic one..but the metal angular one that came out with the last edition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justjokin Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 DAMN IT MIKE! I guess I have orks and spacemarines now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andozane Posted April 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 Damn, nice pull! And good terrain too, those are awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justjokin Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 Yep, $50.99 + shipping, so it seems like a good deal. I have defdreds and predators on the way too! I was looking at armybuilder and it seems out of date. I found this for an army builder: http://traitor-legion.appspot.com/indexNETEA.html but I was wondering if there are any better options than paper/pencil. Any chance you have the lists that you and Kirb played with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andozane Posted April 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 That is your best bet for online army building, I have been using it and it is pretty handy. My list that I lost with today :) Need more maneuverability...Going to switch to Steel Legion (the below is Minervan Tank Co) and get some scout units. ARTILLERY COMPANY [650] 9 ManticoreSUPER-HEAVY TANK COMPANY [500] 3 BanebladeSUPER-HEAVY TANK COMPANY [500] 3 StormbladeTANK COMPANY [725] 10 Leman Russ, Supreme CommanderWARLORD [825] 1 Warlord Class TitanMARAUDER BOMBERS [250] 2 MaraudersTHUNDERBOLT FIGHTERS [150] 2 ThunderboltsTANK PLATOON [400] 6 Leman Russ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justjokin Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Thanks for sharing man! I'll be putting lists together as items come in. I don't have any navy or titans though... Let me know if you hear of anyone parting with such... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weav Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 How does this lot look? I'm considering buying it...looks like enough for a nice force: http://www.ebay.com/itm/28mm-WarHammer-40K-EPIC-ORK-Army-Big-Lot-OOP-/181380395897?pt=Games_US&hash=item2a3b1d3379 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andozane Posted April 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 I saw those earlier...evidently the old metal ork stuff isn't much sought after? At $80 it appears to be an army..not sure how many infantry stands you will get out of it. Lots of Gunwagons (most of those models don't have their own rules any more, I'm thinking you just play them as GunWagons) Stompas, Gargants, good variety. Interesting...same seller, at a glance appears to be same LOT http://www.ebay.com/itm/WarHammer-40K-EPIC-ORK-OOP-Nice-Lot-/181373847646?pt=Games_US&hash=item2a3ab9485e&nma=true&si=97N6XIgxqcB0M1CnJz1T2AD2a70%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 But closer inspection it is different. Also a very large price difference...wonder what is in that previous lot that made such a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
