I disagree, the name EPIC implies a certain sense of vastness. A 750 point
game is too small, the mechanics of the game are a little sticky. To date,
the largest I have played is a 5000 point all marine force (no WE) against
Chaos. I have an 8000 point list written up ready to go, and I can easily
field 16000 imperial...

When you dream there are no rules, people can fly, anything can happen.
Sometimes, there's a moment as you're waking, that you become aware of
the real world around you, but you're still dreaming.
You may think you can fly, but you better not try it...
