Brother Glacius Posted May 29 Report Share Posted May 29 So I think I own the rules for a few versions, and want to know which one is the big guy for local gaming? I've got the rules for the 3rd edition box set still and that is the one I'm most familiar with. I then also got the rules for epic Armageddon as those are the last published rules by GW...that was the version where I sort of quit epic because the new army comp rules made all my units illegal from the previous edition. I know there is netEpic out there, and then also a free version of the original epic that used the card formations. I'm currently sorting through my epic model collection and would love to start thinking about building forces to pay with, but need to know which ruleset is most commonly used.

Torg Posted May 31 Report Share Posted May 31 I generally like Armageddon - just because it seems to have a decent balance between overly simplified or way too granular. Army building is easy enough and things feel unique somewhat. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted May 31 Author Report Share Posted May 31 Yeah, that is what my research has sort of led to. I now know that NetEpic is the public version of the old Space Marine rules. So we have NetEpic, Epic 40K (90's box set), and Epic Armageddon (now NetEA). Also, there is a UKEpic? which is based on EA I think, but geared towards the competitive scene in UK. I like that Epic 40K had lists for all the armies (except maybe squats) originally....but yeah, they really simplified the units. Nice models though. My collection spans from SM all the way through EA... My eldar infantry is a little weak right now...gotta bolster that up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torg Posted May 31 Report Share Posted May 31 I have found lists for every army that I can think of...using NetEA... which is nice. Even Squats, Necron and Tau. I found some nice epic scale STLs for eldar ... on cults. I plan on printing some because my old plastic guardians keep snapping off at the ankles lol.

Brother Glacius Posted May 31 Author Report Share Posted May 31 I got a great set of eldar off of cults a while back...I think they might be down now. They were 8mm based I think, round bases...almost like someone had inside info on Legions...because they came out way earlier. I could see shrinking them down a bit to fit epic scale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewgeddon Posted June 2 Report Share Posted June 2 I know that several of the Warmaster players use NetEA for Epic. That's what I plan on using if I ever get bases for my Necrons 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
