     Well, some of the people on this list are trying to create a "Net Epic"
   due to their fears (and mine) that GW will bugger the game up. I have decided
   to try the new game. I have 2 guys that WANT to learn, but they want to wait
   until the new game is out. I can't blame them.

      So, the rules are competely different, NO army cards, NEW infantry stands
   (10X40) and NEW cavalry stands (20X30?), NO Squats (I heard as a
temporary stop-
   gap an article with new stats will be placed in the CJ so the Squat players
   WON'T be left out.), NO supplements (we'll see), Lots of new minis, ALL NEW
   plastics (most will look the same) (except Tyranids they stay the same),
   Epic 40K will cost about $80-90 US, (cheap huh?) Due out 3/24 UK and 3/31
here
   in the US. Oh and new titans (when ever they show up) New Eldar (as before)
    I think that's it. If I forgot anything, someone will fill in the blanks.

    I'm asking nicely. Fire up your rumour mill!
