Every month, GW sends this to the WH40K list. I thought I'd forward the
parts about Epic to y'all. Of course, this will bore the Europeans but I
ask your indulgence.

I was excited to note the low price of Eldar super-heavies until I noticed
the price of the Heirophant Bio-Titan. Oh, the misery of collecting too
many different armies!

death at breakneck speeds are the Vyper Jetbikes with their
assortment of deadly heavy weapons. Hurtling across the

Raider that can unload troops anywhere on the table, the
Phoenix Bomber that shatters ground targets with its
devastating blasts, and the nimble Night Wing Interceptor
that rakes enemy flyers out of the sky with its Lascannon
batteries. And to lead them all the special command models

THE SCOURGE OF THE UNIVERSE
It's them versus the universe, and the universe is losing.
The seemingly unstoppable Tyranids are marching across the
galaxy and have brought with them a terrifying assortment
of creatures. Like a rolling tide of destruction the
Tyranid forces roll forward. Towering above the
battlefields are the massive Bio-Titans, the Hierodule and
the Hierophant. Scuttling forth in the Bio-titans shadow,
but no less deadly are the Assault Spawns, the Trygons,
Malefactors and Haruspex. Lending valuable troop support
are the Exocrines, Dactylis, Zoanthropes, and Biovores, who
can pour round after round of firepower into the enemy
lines. Flying high above the battlefield is the massive
Harridan, which swoops down to unload its bio-cannons and
toxic spore on its hapless foes. Alan Perry, Mike Perry,
Aly Morrison, Dave Andrews, and Paul Muller all linked into
the Hive Mind to bring forth the Great Devourers!
