  Hi!

  <grin> I believe you some but the sentiments of many of us, the actual game may go bust, but we'll ride the wave and pick up all the new miniatures that they will make. Because in the end can they really make a system that would satisfy us? Probably not. But as they try I hope they make a bucket load of new miniatures. For it is a fact alone that makes me have any enthusiasm for this new games workshop project. I wouldn't mind picking up another 30,000 point army, in this case that Tau, before it all pulls out of print again.

    I really hope that GW hurries up and makes the new Epic.... it's funny.. the will see the sales as proof they did a good system.. but in truth it will be us snatching it up to play netepic with. : )

      Hi!

      The Fanatic "ideal' is truely inspiring of hope. It seems to work well for
      most of the games they support. I only wish they would have decided on a
      new epic game from scratch, IMO this would have given them a lot more
      advantage, first and foremost that of no preconceptions! As it stands, I
      predict a flurry of enthusiasm that will last as much as it did when
      epic40k came (not much). It irks me to no end that they DO recognize the
      problems with epic and its revival and yet do not take any REAL actions to
      remedy it. Lets face it, the "new" rules will perhaps be well accepted by
      those who favor E40k (and perhaps not even that) and gain "some" new
      blood, but the droves of people who left epic simply will not come running
      back for it. You don't revive a dead man, you should nuture a new born
      babe.

      Sorry for the "doom and gloom", but I really think they have a good
      opportunity to revive epic if only they just thow out everything, start
      from scratch and support ALL armies from the get-go, not just IG and Orks.
      Oh well, I'll just save my pennies and buy whatever they dish out before
      it goes out of print again.....

      Peter
