Hey, just a thought, considering that in epic:a you summon demons using your sacrifice points, possibly you could summon a Really big demon (titan sized) if you used a lot more sacrifices?
my 2questions,

Hi!
Anythings possible, but there need to be a heck of a lot of sacrifices to summon a chaos titan....

Thak Stormseer for the newsletter !
Not matter how many subscription i take, the letter never reach me; it's a great thing that some people (sorry, don't remember who at the momment) often put it on the forum.
On the bloodthirster subject, a bloodthirster as high as two imperators on top seems right out of place to me. The Bloodthirster from Warmaster would make a PERFECT and quite big bloodthirster... I think about using warmaster daemon for Epic since some time, specialy greater daemon, who wouldn't suffer from an increase in size...
I look forward to seing the new characters (any idea how long it'll take, Mr Skull ? -and also, can i call you Mr Skull ? quite like the sound of it  ), and the FW Thunderbolt fighter.
I just hope it's not as big as the lightning; i hate fighters to dwarf my titans.

LOL, Mr Skull is fine. I've gotten used to many variations over the years (including "tuffy" which I objected to at first, and the weirdest variation - some people call me "Paul"   )
I'm afriad the Thunderbolt will probably be more lightning size than the size of the old Tbolt. FW stuff is scaled down directly from the 40K versions so & is made to a realistic scale, not to a scale thats "sensible" for gaming.
As for the characters, I have no idea. It only takes him (Will Hayes) a day to do something like a BFG Tau ship (!!) but its simply a case of him finding a spare day amongst 40K & other projects. As I mentioned, he's just finished a different 6mm piece which he's working on a few variations of when the first masters are cast, then I guess its onto Armageddon characters, but that is just a guess - I'll see if I can get anything more definite._________________ Cheers, Paul "TuffSkull" T. http://hobbybrush.com - My New Website, with thousands of painted Mini Pics :) http://hobbybrush.blogspot.com - My Hobby Blog TuffSkull's notepad- My Old Blog on Wargames Wiki.

We use the old Chaos Familiars for our Greater Demons. ?They are big but not as big as the SM2 versions which looked like they were 40K figs ! ?(Too big !) ?The Familiars are about the size of W/M Demons. ?There are pics of them on the EpiCollector site. ? ? W/M has some stuff that would work for Epic ... I use a few of them.

Hi!
I was thinking the same for some warmaster figs, their size is closer to 6mm and make very good proxies.

I'm back to looking at Irregular for feral ork proxies. I have a feeling that armored war mammoths with howdah would make good squiggoths and that their onagers would make good squig catapults.
I may even order a warmaster lizardman beastie to use as the archeosaurus (latest FO war engine).
But nothing will happen for several weeks at the earliest...

Hi!
Neal, if you ever pick up some of those irregular minis, I'd like to see pictures of them. There are many figs in that line that sound like good proxies, but pictures are scarce.

Just checked the GZG/DS site, there are more 6mm painted-color and B&W-metal pics now. I still think theses are the best option for other than G/W-F/W 6mm ...
