On the playtest board one member posted this idea. Thought it was a good one. quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Originally posted by Markconz Just an idea about what to use for these... Three devourer guns from the 40k gaunts box would make a good looking spore chimney. Few 40k tyranid players use the devourers so they would be easy to pick up cheap. 18 in a box = 6 hive nodes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Sure, in this version of Epic Jervis has given the bugs the ability to "spawn" or call back units that have been "killed" or that have been "lost" when they are too far from a synapse creature. This spawnig is an action the tyranid player takes with a synapse creature. The Synapse Node acts as a special kind of synapse creature. To quote from the list "... is almost like a terrain feature, based on the spore chimney?s made by Forge World. It can?t move or attack after is appeared, by can act as a synapse creature for a swarm, and can be used to spawn more Tyranid creatures. " Jervis gave them the teleport ability and because they have a move of zero they can garrison. This is a powerful unit if used correctly. Hope that helps. dafrca |

Neat idea! ? I would imagine, the G/W Epic version will look like the F/W 40K model. ? So I also imagine that both G/W & F/W will make a model in Epic scale... if that makes any sense? ?

I also posted this to the playtest forum, but I intend to quarter walnut shells and mount them in a similar fashion to a spore chimney. |

Heh. Nids are fairly far down the list as of right now. ?I have to: - Finish Orks - Finish SMs (I counted up points, and discoverd I had 8K pts basecoated, so maybe it won't take long) - Paint and base my Stormboyz Nob conversion for the contest. - Touch up my Boarboyz/Squiggoth formation for the contest. - Paint my Slaanesh LR conversion for the contest. - Touch up my Slaanesh Reaver for the contest. - Touch up my Blood Axe Gargant for the contest. - Photograph all of it. I rather doubt that all the contest stuff will get done.  After all that, it will be a toss-up between IG and Nids. Coupled with the fact that I could take your "paint by segments" rant and replace "cat" with "3-yr-old son" and it may be a very long time... ?

Now I know it's not out yet, but I was wondering of anybody had any info on how many mistakes/typos have crept into the new EpicA rulebook? I'm expecting a few this being GW, but am hoping they aren't as bad as I've heard the new Necromunda rulebook was. Hopefully a few of you guys have seen pre-release copies or got a indication from whats up at the vault to know how the rulebook has shaped up in this regard. |

Not me. I've seen the preliminary copy of the rules (as can almost anyone who wants to download it from the Vault) and while I haven't seen the Necromunda book in question I think that the Epic rulebook is quite well done and has had some very good volunteer editing by some of the members of the Epic Forum. |

I dont think it will be that bad, considering that most of the rules have been up in the Vault for a while. Most of the typos and mistakes have been picked out and commented on. my 2cents iblisdrax |
