Epic ArmageddonEpic Armageddon is the new version of Epic from Games Workshop now available. It builds on the Epic40K system and takes ideas and concepts from previous versions of Epic. Ork Heavy BommersForge World are going to release (or have released) an Epic Heavy Ork Bommer for Aeronautica Imperialis. There are three versions as well, and with interchangeable parts.
Doesn't quite look as I would have envisaged, but still nice.

Ork Steam Gargant - due for release
in January 2005 |
Update: Photos now online
The Feral Ork army was seen on the Fanatic Studio display at UK GamesDay 2004. Photos coming soon... Check the blog for a picture now.
Virtually all the miniatures for the first phase of Epic Armageddon are now out. Some of the miniatures are excellent others are okay.
As most people who play Epic Armageddon are aware, once an army list is finalised nothing can be added to it, so when new models, such as the new Forgeworld Bommers, are released they can not be used in the current army lists...
One thing Jervis mentioned in the latest White Dwarf got me thinking, especially with the release of the Ork Bommers from Forgeworld.
As most people who play Epic Armageddon are aware, once an army list is finalised nothing can be added to it, so when new models, such as the Bommers, are released they can not be used in the current army lists. Either you use the "counts as" rule or create your own rules.
In the White Dwarf article, Jervis talks about having quite a few army lists (aka Hordes of the Things or DBM).
It occurred to me that you could have quite a few variant Ork lists, potentially at least twenty different lists!
Therefore I am working on a Ork Airfield Defence Force which will include the new Forgeworld Ork Bommers.
More information on my blog and on the workbench.
Carl has updated his excellent Dropship website, check it out.

New Models
There will be new models including a Capitol Imperialis!!! More Details of Epic Armageddon Models and is taken from the Fanatic Epic Armageddon newsletter:
Mark Bedford has been doing a lot of ‘test pieces’ for the metal infantry strips. We’ve just cast up a row of Terminators on a thinner version of the stand than we used for the first Space Marine strip. The good news is that the models cast perfectly, and the weight was almost half that of the first strip we made. This lower weight pretty much guarantees that we’ll be able to include at least 8-10 strips/stands in a pack for the same price as a Warmaster unit (hoorah!)
Mark has also made a really nice Guard fire support team. These come on a round ‘dioramic base, with the weapons team behind a set of sandbags. It looks very nice – hopefully we’ll have pictures of the stand up on the website soon.
Shane Hoyle has delivered a lovely Ork trukk model. Chunky and very characterful, this model is going to set the pattern for the new versions of the smaller Ork vehicles we will release with Epic Armageddon.
While on the subject of Ork vehicles, John Manders has delivered the master for a new metal version of the Ork stomper. It really is a superb piece, John’s best work for us so far I’d say, and I would imagine that every Ork player will want one of two of these models in their army.
40K Developer and Epic aficionado Pete Haines came up with a great idea for a new Space Marine vehicle. “Jervis,” he said “the Marines could really use something that would allow them to drop vehicles directly onto a planet from their battlebarges. You know, a sort of giant landing craft that could hold a detachment of tanks…” I’ve never been one that was loath to steal a good idea, so I’ve nicked this one and we’ll be including just such a vehicle in the Epic Armageddon range.
Writing the section of the v9.1 rules about our Back Catalogue models reminded just what a lovely model the Capital Imperialis was. Sadly the model can’t be made any more as it uses plastic tracks that are no longer available… so I’ve decided to have a new version made with metal tracks!
