There seems to be another split coming in the E40K community over this.
Frustration over GW policies, and distinct lack of faith in Jervis et al,
is growing. Older players, who already had much of their armies, are the
ones most active in trying to "save" Epic, while those who missed out on
some stuff, are fading away, upset at the lack of support, and the
marketing direction that is being taken. The biggest sticking point is
the Imperials and Orks focus, with a promise of "future expansion
building upon a solid line." Like many of us, they don't see it
happening, and don't want to invest anymore money unless their army is
going to be supported. Availability is also an issue, in that many
people don't like dealing with either mail order or their GW store. As
has been mentioned before, whenever these people hear "Epic" they
immediately try to sell you Warhammer, or 40K, or the new LOTR stuff.
And then, if you don't buy any of the latest and greatest stuff, they
treat you as second class citizens. It's interesting to see this coming
from formerly staunch defenders of E40K. But I don;t think it bodes well
for this new endeavor.
