Haven't had a chance to play it yet but it looks better than the first list. The only issue I have is combining the Avatar with the Court of the Young King. Seems odd. Stealing Initiative is better now and forces you to take Guardian Warhosts so you can get a farseer. Which should stop those all Aspect Warrior armies from appearing. |

It sure makes that "formation" very easy to break and kill. It will be an ugly unit in assault, but will be out numbered by most other army formations. dafrca |

Hey: I couldn't remember where Utopia posted it, but something someone posted on the Moderator thread reminded me of it and I think it bears repeating. Someone stated something along the lines of "we'll have the rules in 3-4 months." According to Utopia's sources, the warehouse in MD has Epic listed with a February available date. He says that his source is very good and he estimates this as an 85% probability that the release will be delayed to Feb. Sorry for the news, if you haven't heard it yet. I'm still hoping it will make it out, but I have had my doubts ever since someone pointed out the LotR conflict. |

Hi! I never gave much credence to its release this year. Early 2004 was much more reasonable and I think releasing it "on its own" gives it a better chance than it being lost between bigger christmas releases. Primarch |

Yeah, rememeber hearing of this a while ago, and while a little disapointing, it seems sensible for GW to do this, especially as has been said- with the final LOTR game coming out at exactly the same time...

Hi! I think anything that contributes to showcase on its own is a good idea. The Christmas rush is good for business, but it also means proven sellers get all the attention (as good business dictates). So releasing it in late winter or early spring means less competition, more exposure in GW mags and hopefully more support. While no one likes to wait, in this case its good that they do. Primarch |

I think I mentioned that E-A will be released in 3-4 months, but again that as based on what I heard at the time, and a "light-hearted" remark. However, nothing that G/W has done or will do would surprise me. A year from now, we may still be waiting on the release of the Epic SM AFVs we saw at G-Day ...

I think it is probably better to delay it to a slot where it will be the main focus. It would just be lost in the Christmas rush of the more popular games, and that would not be good. Ideally, it could do with a few months exposure in WD at least. I cant see it happening though.
