Me? It is most certainly the character packs. I feel if I lost my mind I would buy them endlessly!

I'd agree, if it weren't for the Ork Landa :D :D :D
Green is good and Thunderbads are go! :p

Oh - and close to that is the SM Lander... :cool:
These - perhaps the Lander in particular - will be the future CI and Hellebore.

I think I have to agree with TRC. The Character packs gave us some real special figures for Epic that were only available through conversions before.

My favourite release is the SM landing craft,followed by the drop pods with the character packs a close third .

If going by the amount of releases bought it would be the character packs ( I think 6 in total 3 SM,2 Guard and 1 Ork so far + some spare characters from other gamers in our group)

Redundant I suppose, but the new Revenants are by far my most favourite of the new sculpts.  I am impressed with the new Feral Ork Steam Gargant too.

I'm overjoyed when there is ANY release but I'll go with the crowd and say that the characters are my fave too (note to self, must buy more :laugh: ) especially the Exarchs.

The Revenants are very nice indeed. Also the Eldar Super Heavies are a vast improvement over the previous models.

I'm not so impressed with the new Ork models in general although the Landa stands out as a really nice model.

For the IG the Ragnarok remains a really nice (if not all that original *cough* ) design.

The Space marine vehicles in general are pretty nice but the Drop Pod is probably my favourite.

Maybe I'm just a weirdo but I'm not really all that impressed with the Character packs. Don't get me wrong: They're nice models. However there's very little there which you couldn't do yourself through conversions of existing models. Some of the characters strike me as downright bad. Commisar Yarrick in particular. I guess the thing is that they're all basically conversions of existing models but not really original sculpts like the models on the E40k plastic spures.

If I had to pick one, I think I'd say the Forgeworld Warhound.

My favorite are the ones that aren't released yet, but will be, because this means GW hasn't killed E:A yet.

I agree with this. I like to convert my characters, since there are (by definition) not so many of them.

I really like the new Revenants. The newer Eldar Aspects are really nice infantry too. Also, the Marine Whirlwind is so much better than the crayon launcher from the previous edition.

This may sound silly but I love the Shining Spears.  They paint up so nicely and really look sharp on the battlefield.

Warwalkers too.  I usually bring them just because they look so cool.  Gangly and frail, they stand out from many of the other units.

I agree with the character packs. They are really great. And also I like the marine landing craft and drop pods, but character packs are better.

In regards to the landing craft how big is the actual model?  ???

Every man must have a dream!  :p

So if we are going to go there, I think then it is the new Necrons and the Sisters. Both are such clean sharp sets. :;):

:devil:
