Well if you want some positive feed back, here it goes.  The system sucks, but they have made the system work under all the 40k fluff, i.e. SM Battle Co. is designed like it should be & not one detatchment of each.  I have been toying with the idea of 2 tac dets & cut down the aslt & dev to 2 sqds (4 stands).  This system also includes BFG support & transport options.  This really makes the possibility for multi-level campaigns.  Even if you dont play BFG it gives your FWD OB something to call in with, also can determine how much naval airsupport.  The idea of making marine snipers is also good.
The Tyranid endless sea of littleguys is also awsome...not if your on the other end though.
 
Just my 2 cents, but again the system sucks, I love 2nd ed alot & thats why we play netepic.

I'm probably preaching to the converted here, but I'm wondering if
ANYONE can actually make a case for Epic Armageddon. As a returning
player I still can't quite fathom why a perfectly good system (ie
second edtition) wasn't built on by GW, rather than the failed 3rd
edition system being revamped.

I am interested in Epic Armageddon purely because I might find one or
two more epic players- but an examination of the rules tells me all I
need to know. Still the lack of detail. Classic example- war machines
and titans have a bog standard "wounds" rating and thats it, no
targetting. That crummy system of blast markers is still there too,
for "realism". And how many real life battles in the 41st millenium
have the GW geeks fought in exactly!? Jervis Johnson is a legend- but
this system is bulls'hit.

Ok, so anyone can be negative, but it just reinforces the need for
NetEpic to continue to exist and develop- there really is no other
alternative.
