 From what I remember from them a whirlwind can t kill them in 40K eather
(only str. 5) the weapon has to be str. 6 or higher to kill them in 40K
las rifles, bolters, and cats cant wound them let alone stop them
their living dead types and you have to totaly dismember them to stop them
 so the need for a -1 tsm is the only suggestion that fits the fluff
you need a heavy weapon to kill one thats what you have work into
epic. The other suggestions don t do that.

---------->I do agree!!! With this you compare them to something reasonable, a jugger and not a void shield! I have a hard time thinking that any humanoid crature, no matter how malformed, could just walk through the barrage of a Whirlwind battery! Lets go for this.

Hi!

Hehe, well, well, its seems we are waking up a bit after the long slumber and with a yell too!

My impressions:

I dont mind fleet of foot as long as it is not combined with any other ability that would make infantry move too fast. Only some should receive it, perhpas stuff like grotesques should not.

Infantry should NEVER need weapons with modifers to kill them, too unbalancing. The idea to treat them as juggers that they always complete a charge is much, much better.

Only command types hsould have saves and low ones with a light sprinkling of fixed save, the vast majority should have no saves. Darius's summary on this looked pretty good.

I like the capture slaves rules, very character building. The combat drugs I am unsure about, why not integrate some of the effects to those units that fluff wise could have them and forego the table?

  Hi!

  No infantry unit in net epic needs a=
 weapon with modifiers to affect it. The great majority of infantry have no=
 weapon modifier menaing such a unit is immune ot shooting it, not a good t=
hing. I'd rather the unit have the jugger ability or regeneration, since it=
 does not hinder shooting it.

   Hi!

      Hehe, well, well, its seems we are waking up a bit after the =
long slumber and with a yell too!

      My impressions:

      I dont mind=
 fleet of foot as long as it is not combined with any other ability that wo=
uld make infantry move too fast. Only some should receive it, perhpas stuff=
 like grotesques should not.

      Infantry should NEVER need weapons with=
 modifers to kill them, too unbalancing. The idea to treat them as juggers =
that they always complete a charge is much, much better.

      Only comma=
nd types hsould have saves and low ones with a light sprinkling of fixed sa=
ve, the vast majority should have no saves. Darius's summary on this looked=
 pretty good.

      I like the capture slaves rules, very character buildi=
ng. The combat drugs I am unsure about, why not integrate some of the effec=
ts to those units that fluff wise could have them and forego the table?

Hi it is quite possible that a whirlwind cant kill them in 40k but there ar=
e a couple of things to consider.
40k deals with the single vehicles, we a=
re talking about the combined firepower of 3 whirlwinds or 5 thud guns. Its=
 quite OK that theese units cant kill SH tanks, but I find it unreasonable =
that weapon systems that hits on 4+ and 2+ has absolutely no chance of kill=
ing an infantry stand.
But most important, this also applies to many other=
 units. In 40k a lasgun or whirlwind cant kill a dreadnought, nor ANY vehic=
le except bikes, and if I remember correctly not even a SM terminator. This=
 is the fluff of 40K on theese units also, and the way netepic is dealing w=
ith it is by the armor save system.

  From what I remember from them a whirlwind can t kill them in =
40K eather 
  (only str. 5) the weapon has to be str. 6 or higher to kill =
them in 40K 
  las rifles, bolters, and cats cant wound them let alone sto=

  their living dead types and you have to totaly dismember them to=

   so the need for a -1 tsm is the only suggestion that fits t=

  you need a heavy weapon to kill one thats what you have work i=

      Hi!
      Hehe=
, well, well, its seems we are waking up a bit after the long slumber and w=
ith a yell too!
      My impressions:
      I dont mind fleet of foot as =
long as it is not combined with any other ability that would make infantry =
move too fast. Only some should receive it, perhpas stuff like grotesques s=
hould not.
      Infantry should NEVER need weapons with modifers to kill =
them, too unbalancing. The idea to treat them as juggers that they always c=
omplete a charge is much, much better. 
      Only command types hsould ha=
ve saves and low ones with a light sprinkling of fixed save, the vast major=
ity should have no saves. Darius's summary on this looked pretty good.
   =
   I like the capture slaves rules, very character building. The combat dru=
gs I am unsure about, why not integrate some of the effects to those units =
that fluff wise could have them and forego the table?
