Chris, one of the penalties of a free media is people can talk about things other people don't like. A benefit is that you don't have to read ANY messages from this
thread, or any other. The discussion has been valid, topical, supported, and has led to many interesting posts from people with inside information.

Many of us WANT to know what is going on inside of the industry, and what it will mean for our epic hobby. It seems pefectly at home on this list.

I have zero details on the new release, and have seen none posted here. I have seen a picture of a chaos space marine rhino and space marine. I recall seeing pictures
of models a half year prior to their release to the public; perhaps some models have been made by GW studios which have never been mass produced. WD 222 has NO NEW
RELEASES FOR EPIC this month, according to Andy's WD review. If you know otherwise, put up.

I won't say for certain that epic is soon to go unsupported (again). It just looks that way. Maybe all the rumors prompted the meager WD 222 coverage. Maybe our
continuous calls and complaints are making a difference.

So what posts do you want to see? We have proven tactics discussions are resented by some list members. We have posted detat lists from everyone who wanted to post
them. We've had several alternative armies posts, several campaign posts, many battle reports; what topics is our industry speculation taking away from?
