I'm new to the group, and I play Orks...

...typically, but I recently got someone's Marine collection, so I
can have something to play against, maybe teach someone the game at
some point. It's more a board game for me, that way, I guess...but
different. lol

Anyway, I'm an Ork player, as I said. I have tons of figs: more
infantry than I can count, almost every unit besides, with the
notable exception being the Great Gargant. I have a Mekboy, a
Slasher (both painted), and TWO Mega-Gargants. That's
right...two...unassembled, still, after all these years, though.
lol I have painted: 3 clans of infantry (2 I got as they are, and
they're not too great...but I did the Bad Moons myself, and they're
pretty good), squiggoths, dreadnaughts, Mekboy Shokk Attack Guns,
Pulsa Rockits, Squig catapults, Bubble Chukka Speedsta, some
Battlewagons, some stompers, dreadnaughts and Mekboy Shokk Attack
Guns painted by a friend, 2 Bad Moon Weirdboy towers and some
Gretchin, Stormboyz and other infantry, also painted by someone
else. All in all, painted and unpainted, I can field well in excess
of 10,000 points of Orks, no problem.

I also recently acquired the Marines, a good 5,000 points worth. I
have nearly 1,000 points of Eldar, and a Chaos unit...one unit,
that's it. lol

I have a couple of questions, though, and someone told me I could
ask here...I'm really thrilled to get help with this. lol

I got the NetEpic rules...I like the changes from the 2nd edition I
like playing. When third came out (and I know there's a 4th,
Armageddon), they really screwed the Orks up. Taking all the
different types of Ork vehicles and streamlining them
into "Battlewagons" was horrible. They tried to fluff over the
whole, "Orks have many different types of vehicles" concept, but I
didn't like it. That concept was the whole reason why there ARE so
many Ork figs! The other thing was the infantry, of course...I
wasn't about to shitcan my whole army because they wanted strips
instead of squares. Personally, I prefer the squares...but that's
my first question:

1. A lot of the infantry I just acquired was mounted already...even
if unpainted as yet...so my question is whether or not you can mix
the two, or use one or the other, in the NetEpic setup. Yeah, I
know...I'll probably do it anyway...but I'm not finding any reason
not to, and that sort of helps my cause. lol What do you guys say
about it?

2. WHERE are the stats for Titans in NetEpic's rules? I have the
old card for the Warlord...and all the Ork ones, of course...but I
have 2 Warhounds, too...and have a cost, but no stats, etc. Are the
cards available to print somewhere that I'm not seeing? I'm really
lost here.

3. In the rules, it mentions a "Chaos book", that explains the
Chaos intricacies, etc. Where are these books? I have Warlords, of
course...Orks and Squats...but what about the rest of the armies?
Does NetEpic cover this stuff? If it's not on the site, do any of
you have it?

Those are the top questions I can think of. I'm working on painting
these Marines, and in fact am creating my own chapter, based on one
I've made for Dawn of War (love that PC game!), badges and banners,
the whole bit. If anyone plays that game, I love doing comp stomps
with people, so let me know! My Yahoo Messenger name is asdemeter,
but you MUST ask to add me first (just mention NetEpic, and I'll say
yes), because I can't get IMs from anyone not on my list. Same with
AIM...e-mail me first or something, but my name there is ChaosAD24.
I look forward to talking Epic with everyone!
