Hoping you come back still!

My friend and I have just started EA and assaults melt our brains a bit (both in terms of remembering the rules AND strategically) - this might be answered in the bext vid but due to the 10cm + 5cm counter charge of infantry embarked on transports - is it implicit that engaging such transported troops gives the defendr the option of close combat in most circumstances as you must be within 15cm to engage? I charged a tactical squad at a bunch of orks in wagons hoping to firefight and was very disappointed when they counter charged into close combat 😂

I am incredibly excited to get started playing, me and my friend have been buying up lots left and right in preparation. The terrain is probably what im most excited about, its a huge battle and it feels like it with all the tiny buildings.

I found best way to build ork army on Ghazghkull army list combine with netEA Orkimedes army list. So many posibilities with this two armylists and nearly everything they shared. And if you like magnetized models Orkimedes is your paradise army list 😀

Is the mega gargant not in the epic Armageddon rules ?

I made a small resin epic/legions army and I was wondering should I play legions or epic?

Do voidshields also ignore blastmakers from beeing shot at or only the ones generated by Hits?

new models and consistent scale has me most excited. I've been watching through your series and Epic Armageddon looks like a really fun game, with a well supported ruleset and community lists, being able to play that with modern minis is an exciting prospect to me and my friends

Hey man, much love, I'm excited to get into this game. But I want to help you re record this video and give you some tips and tricks for editing audio quick and clean. Shoot me a message and we can figure something out

What do you all use to carry Epic armies

Really hoping you post more content, the tone and approach of your videos is refreshingly calm, to the point, and analytical!

As a Leman Russ coy commander, light vehicles make me very happy

I put my commissars in the vanquisher to represent the company commander

Excellent video. However, if I were to be nitpicky, I would point out that your movement graphic might be misleading for newcomers. In your example, it suggests that you measure from the front of the dreadnought at the start of the move to the back of dreadnought at the end of the move - which is incorrect!

For balancing the vulture, we've experimented with house rules of splitting the twin autocannon into 2 individual cannons (2x AP5/AT6), and giving the missiles the Eldar "Lance" rule rather than making them full macro-weapons. I've also run a rule allowing the player to swap the missiles and autocannons for 2 gatling cannons (2x AP2), everyone loves those for the vulture these days anyway. Have you ever tried to rebalance light vehicles in your games? I've implemented a rule giving AP weapons a -1 on their hit rule and AT weapons a +1 when shooting at LVs, it's worked well for my groups' purposes.

A small correction. When allocating hits to a war engine, you allocate up to their starting damage capacity. The rules says "... Instead, the defender allocates a number of hits equal to the war engine's starting damage capacity before he allocates any hits to other units... But keep up the great work! We use your vids a lot!

NetEA all the way baby. Im upscaling my prints for NetEA because i like em a bit bigger, but zero interest in getting my pocket picked by GW.

Fantastic. Thank you so much.

Excellent army reviews, any plans on making a review for Tyranids or other races? Brilliant work, thank you! :)

Not sure if you already have plans for more content, but would love to see battle reports, some specific list breakdowns/reviews, or of course more army coverage.

30:35 The math is that 2 attacks on 4+ is roughly equal to a single 2.5+ attack I think, which is worse than the Banshee's 2+. Technically they could get lucky and score 2 hits while a Banshee stand can only ever score 1 but over enough rolls it'll average out slightly in favor of the Banshees. So sure, if you like gambling then Striking Scorpions are an acceptable choice over Banshees. ...is what I would say if Howling Banshees didn't also have Infiltrate and First Strike on their melee attacks, turning a fairly equal matchup into one that clearly favors them. I just don't see any reason to take Striking Scorpions over Howling Banshees aside from preferring their aesthetic/fluff. Mechanically they just seem completely inferior bar the slightly better save, which I think is compensated for by the Banshee's getting FS and killing some of the enemy before they get to attack back.

Love your stuff and EA!!!!!

You are doing the Emperor's work! As much as I like 40k the flagship-games rules move way to fast for me to really enjoy it much. Meta-shifts, Special rules getting slightly changed. I have heard from other people in the hobby that Epic is the sort of Gold standard, and because its no longer being updated, has basically every faction in it, and is a larger scale, while being smaller scale miniatures will probably make it my game of choice. As I yearn for the strength and certainty of a system that doesn't change every 6 months

I got a handed down box of Space marines and these videos have helped sparked my interest in the game system. Thank you

For the Landa, do you roll for it’s gun turrets each time it shoots?

These are very helpful

year later and im sure you know but overlapping audio around 2:30

I have a rules question as far as Warhound Titans are concerned; if they were shooting at transport units, say, Space Marine Rhinos, is it a bit of a tradeoff shooting with your Mega-Bolters? Because you'd otherwise have to shoot with them first, which might kill a few transports, letting their marines out. While hits with the Plasma would kill the transport AND both marine units inside, without a save. If they shoot second, they might just take out a single marine unit rather than a transport and all it carried.

Probably pick up some stuff then get 3d printing. When the nickle And diming begins ill be using the inevitable onepagerules version. Cant trust gw to do anything fairly and sensibly

Pretty much need to mix and match aspects based on models in the plastics.

Amazing summary mate. Im picking up epic again after like 25 year absence and you saved me a ton of time on understanding this game. I have a lot of reading up on to do. First up im trying to make a 1500 points army to go against some of my friends 😄 suggestions?

Excellent stuff. Just FYI each Revenant Titan has 4 pulse laser shots (2 pulse lasers, each with 2 shots) so a pair of Revanant Titans would have 8x 3+ MW shots !

I’ve had every Epic scale set from the original Adeptus Titanicus to the current AT game and everything in between. I think Epic 40,000 was the best rule set and presentation. I especially liked the 3d hit markers. From what I’ve seen thus far, Legions Imperialis will borrow heavily from Space Marine in terms of rules. It’s a shame it will be Horus Heresy only - but so we’re the early versions of the game. I’m sure the community will pick up the slack.

Great video. I’ll be continuing to play EpicA, AND I’ll probably get into LI. I think its a different game and a different system and GW issues aside its going to be interesting to see how it pans out. I was all set to be a naysayer given the scale change (which really irked me), but I think there will be some stuff that will migrate between the two systems well and I just want to have fun and get excited about a new small scale game (I’ve been a small scale wargamer since the 80s). So I’m pretty hyped, can’t wait to get my mitts on it, am dreading the cost (doing everything on my honey-do list to build credit!) and will continue to love and play EpicA

[🧐IMHO] Without HERESY, there *_Is No 40K_* (It's very much the superior 'Historical War game' for more nuanced & older/matured veteran Hobbyists (esp. those who have fallen out of favor w/ the recent decent of 40K out of *'GRIM DARK'* -&- into _Grim _*_Derp:_* (EXHIBIT A: *The Artwork* for 40K now in much more......"Sanitized." ) (* Although, this rot is beginning to now creep into HERESY 2.0, as (e.g.) the "Campaign/Rule Books" are a *_Far Cry_* from what they once were: 🪦RIP Mr Bligh🥀 His vision for the original *HORUS HERESY 1.0* tabletop game was amazing. The *_Book_*_ layouts, the art work & the writing_ just hit all the right notes. (& is why it became so popular.....not so much today) I believe he was the guy who knew how to play the corporate game and how to keep GW middle management out of Forge World. You can see when GW switched to 7th Ed and FW and to scramble in books 4 and 5 to adapt. Then Mr Bligh got really sick around before book 6 dropped and you can notice how out of place it is compared to the first 5 books. Books 7,8 and 9 you can totally tell they didn't have anymore of Mr Blighs notes or anything and they were totally winging it. So sad to see as GW and FW had lightening in a bottle with HH 1.0 until mainline GW got their involved.

I played Epic back in the day - original Titanicus, Space Marine 1 and 2 and still play the best version of epic so far: Epic Armageddon. (I skipped Epic 3rd). I also play and love the current Titanicus. I'm stoked for LI - one of the things I always hated about epic was that the infantry were 6mm and the titans and most vehicles were 3mm (done for cost reasons). In LI everything is 8mm and it looks amazing. If the rules are sh*t we'll just use the new minis to play Armageddon Horus Heresy :D

The Vultures do the artillery hunting for you, double move , Shoot your Hellstrikes........ but wait then the fun begins, If you have 3 enemy Artillery tanks you use 4 to 6 rockets, will you enemy go after then out of revenge? With 120 you can move them in your favor that the revenge unit could be eaten up by by something else in your army?They are pricy but fast and flexible and can win you games at the end holding objectives, never a underestimate 105 cm marsch move

Thanks you have helped us get back into epic with ease. Excellent resource, thanks for your time.

Happy to finally see the series come to completion. Well done sir!

'promo sm'

I love Epic. The small scale of the minis makes them perfect for 3D printers: you can create large armies for a fraction of what the original minis cost today and theres A LOT of free models to download. Even when I don't play the game very often, just looking at my collection of tiny (but huge) armies feels great. And you don't use a lot of paints too, although that doesn't mean painting 6mm minis is easier than painting heroic scale minis.

I know this is an old video and lickly wont be seen but, i've started playing epic with a friend at the local game store and have a question on hits and saves. He stated that once he rolls the hits I then roll my saves after witch i allocate failed saves front to back, rolling separately for units with different saves. However after your video and going through the rules myself, if i understand right, I allocate hits first then roll the hits per unit resaulting in some units potentially being overkilled if multiple saves are failed and some units being killed that may not be in the front. We are both still reading the rules.

I was initially very negative on this being without Xenos, and then when I saw the scale difference article the difference in scale was a lot larger than I had expected - which I guess is because the previous scale for Epic was not particularly consistent? A lot of the models look like they are a lot more than a third bigger. However, I think I'll pick up some of the models and see what they're like.

Impertor

aren't there more Aircraft in the game then the 2 you talked about?

Thank you for continuning the series, had my ship ready for print, now I can use them, And I will enjoy "sniping commisar from space" :3

LI game has seemed to have ripped an awful lot out of first epic (space marine) with similar orders and CAF for melee combat. You have to declare orders for everything at the start of the turn so this game won't have the tactical flexibility of Epic Armageddon where you can pivot your force to react say to a thunderhawk assualt or teleport attack. Rules look pretty dumbed down. Also saw scale comparisons with predators and there is no way both scales can exist in the same force, the only things that might be compatible are the titans and air units. I think GW dropped the ball here as many enduring epic players would have at least bought into the game for some miniatures. Most epic players I know have adopted the attitude of "thanks but no thanks". I played Space Marine/Titan legions in its day (when it was in the triumvirate with Warhammer Fantasy and 40k) and enjoyed it but it is inferior in pretty much every way to Epic Armageddon. Keep up the good work with your videos.

Epic is coming back baby!!! in the form of Horus Heresy I think, correct me if im wrong.

Best way to use 3 Manticores is to fire 2 of them turn 1 and the remaining one turn 2. You’re firing each turn then. If you’re taking an artillery company 8 Basilisks and 1 Manticore can be a good option. You can then fire a 10 BP barrage every other turn which puts two extra blast markers on anything under the 3 templates (so any formation takes 3 blast markers before anything dies, so auto breaking 3DC war engines). The turn inbetween while the Manticore is reloading you still have 8 Basilisks so still get as effective a barrage (as 8-9 is the same on the barrage table).

Oh man, really hard to hear this over the noise of my car on the road😅 any way you can crank your volume? Cause Im maxed out
