Hi,
I know exactly what you are talking about! We recently got a brand new GW
store here in Norway (We only have one! Praise the Emperor), I went to check
it out and immediately upon arrival I got ambushed by one of their crew
members. He was friendly enough, albeit a tad bit to offensive for my taste,
I couldn't get in a word edgewise. However when he found out that I mostly
played Epic he replied "Aha you mean that small stuff....???, I do think we
have some magazines lying around" When I told him that I did play Epic with
a version of the older SM/TL rules, his eyes went blank and he couldn't be
boderet with helping me anymore and strode off to ambush some new
customers..... Well, I left the store and bought the 40K Eldar Wraithlord(I
use them as Eldar titans)I was looking for at another shop..... And has sice
not set my feet at their premises.... I must say i felt more than a little
dissapointed with GW when I left the store.... After all I've spent a heft
sum of money on their products over the years, and like many of you other
guys on this list, gaming is as much a collecting hobby as a playing hobby
for me, so I spend quite a lot of money on minis.....

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.
