| Aside from the White dwarf articles I posted somewhere I have some odds and sods, I think mainly the alternative war engine profiles? Yes, please! And please do submit them to the E40k resources thread—very useful stuff and increasingly hard to find. Along the same lines, does anyone know where I c... |

| Does anyone have a scan of the E40k Magazine, particularly issue 2? I'm interested in two articles (the alternate units for Orks and the vehicle variant rules). If you have the magazine handy, could you tak a snapshot of those articles with your phone and share them? Thank you! |

| Magnus, I feel like I have offended you and I apologize for that. I can assure you that I have only respect for SM2 (you can see my initial thoughts about the game in my first thread ). I actually just picked up a box of SM2 for a fair amount of money, so I am seriously considering giving the game a... |

| I have never played a game of SM2 or NetEpic, but after reading the rules (well, more specifically, after reading SM2), I can't help but wonder if most games turn into a simple slugfest. The incredibly long weapon ranges and the lack of downside to just staying put and shooting away seem like they m... |

| Interesting and a good point. When I read the rules, I assumed close combat against a Titan involved the infantry boarding it and having shootouts inside the accessways and battle stations of the machine's feet and legs (damage could represent meltabombs placed on vital locations). Note that Warhoun... |

| I am starting to see it in a similar way, actually. Although the rules allow for close assaults followed by firefights, it seems that an either/or situation is much more likely. This is because the loser in an assault will always flee beyond firefight range for the turn, thus making a firefight afte... |

| Oh I forgot to thank you for uploading those ! They look very cool and I am still absorbing them. On the one hand, I really like the damage system (it feels gradual, just like the ponderous Titans that are being slowly pulverized by the weight of enemy fire). On the other hand, it seems like it is s... |

| One of the things I really love about Space Marine 2e and Titan Legions is the inclusion of datafaxes for the largest Titans: the Space Ork Mega-Gargant and the Imperator Titan. I feel the hit location templates add a lot to the feel of these Titans as massive, towering machines of war, housing hund... |

| There are a few weird rules in Epic 40k, either due to abstraction or to attempts to preclude rules abuse (or, sometimes, both). One such oddball is the barrage rule. Essentially, you place the blast template over the densest part of the detachment. A model counts as under the template as long as it... |

| @elsmore, I am in Boston and don't know of any local gamers. I've become a real gamer shut-in over the last few years, though, after some bad experiences playing with strangers. I mostly play my huge library of games with my brother these days, although my wife will get in on it sometimes as well. I... |

| Thanks for the advice everyone. After a thorough review of the different rulesets, I think I am settling on Epic 40,000 as my system of choice. I came to this decision after finding each edition had its strengths (the Titan hit tables from Space Marine 2e just cannot be beat for coolness, and Armage... |

| Neat, I'd love to see what you and yorkie have come up with so far! I've never been much of a tournament gamer, to be honest. More often than not, I am the one running the game for my brother and me, so we tend to stick to friendly scenario based games and largely throw point costs out the window. I... |

| Instead of cluttering Matt's thread , I thought I'd start a new thread here. I mentioned that I really like many aspects of Epic 40k, but prefer the close assault rules of Epic: Armageddon, which integrate melee and firefights far more seemlessly than Epic 40k does. For those not familiar with it, E... |
