Hi all, knowing full well that the rush-into-the-open-and-assault aspect of WH40K does not appeal to all, and that Epic provides a more rational approach to wargaming, do you feel close-combat oriented armies have a role in Epic, and if so, which of these do you think fits this description (a close-combat army) best whilst still making Epic sense? Apologies if I omitted any! |

Well I voted for 'Nids cause they are classic Sci-Fi bugs. But we're making it a point to give them more range weapons like Bio-Tanks using some of the old Space Fleet models. You all know what I'm going to say next !  ... If you like C/Cbt so much play WHFB or Warmaster !!!  Good narrative "V" !

And I did have a feeling you'd go for the Nids.

You missed out my Dark Angel rush of doom - against Tau firefights don't work and I have to get into CC before Dougs air force (which comprises half of the Tau models every produced by the Forgeworld factories obliterates my army) |

OK, if I had to play a "Charge for all you are worth" army, it would be bugs. Of course, the fact I own almost no bugs should tell you something. dafrca |

I, too, voted for 'Nids, but my initial thought was Khorne. I've seen a Khorne army do serious damage in close combat. On the other hand, in the last game I played against 'Nids, my army SM/TL got sliced up from the combined firepower of 5 bio-titans! I had expected the usual unstoppable horde, hell bent for close in action. Needless to say, I was quite surpised! |

It is good to change one's tactics once in a while. It keeps the opponents guessing. The player who did this was smart. Next time you will have to plan for both. In any event, you will need to kick his hind end next time for the Honor of the Imperium. dafrca |

Yep ! The way G/W designed the Bugs you don't have much choice ... but we're working on fixing that. So far, have never really been satisfied with the 'Nid OOBs ...

Hi! Bugs, although I can make up a mean close combat chaos army when I need to. Primarch |

Hi Guys, I also picked the 'Nids, BUT... I remember when the Squats and Orks were among the best at CC! Shalom, Maksim-Smelchak. |

Hi. I dont actually see the bugs as the army that must rush into cc anymore. They have a selection of deadly weapons which makes them nasty in a ff as well. |

True CS, but as we're not generally CC freaks, I'm trying to see which CC concept appeals most to the Epic scale - and I got the answer I expected too!
