Personally, as an avid 40k player, I believe that this new "Epic in 40k"
(sounds like something from a Science for the Future film from the '50s)
will suck. I mean, 40k, as it is now, won't feel right for such a large
scale. Besides, 40k is fun as is when using huge armies. I'd rather have
the Epic rules (minus the cheese) as they are now than using watered down
40k rules. From what I've heard, all's I can say is that I'm glad I didn't
go out and buy a lot of Knight models. Also, I'd rather see GW flesh out
the squats for 40k and flesh out other things before reinventing a game
which is fine as is. Oh well....
