Do people really print out their own templates? I would have thought most people that got into Gold would have found the templates on eBay or the like. There is a pretty big gulf between a handflamer and heavy flamer in Necro, yet they both use the same template. I wonder how other games do it? Maybe no other games have so significant a gulf in weapon size. The Necro compromise is not ideal, but I think there are advantages to being able to play with readily available, transparent plastic templates, and I know that I personally wouldn't want to be printing my own crappy paper templates.
E: yes a set from Fenris or somewhere would work OK, and maybe I am incorrect in assuming that most people that play epic would have the 40k flamer and blast templates at hand (I have a few and I swear I've never bought one, they just appear from no-where).
Hi!
From my experience Bruticus, a lot of people do print out there own stuff. It generally cheaper than going on ebay and getting specific counters or templates. That is why the original gold books have them. That is what people asked for.
Granted, what I would do personally is have them made as transparent plastic templates. The options for this are cost effective and no so difficult as they one were. Plus they look cool!
