Pulsa Rokkits yes:) (sigh) Also most of the quirky old ork weapons. The Supa Lifta Droppa is one of my all time favourites! Weirdboy towers overloading Left Right and Centre. oh and the Madboyz!!! Those were the days when It was allways a good laugh to be an ork player. "tell dat too da yoofs nowadays...  "
Sure it bogged down gameplay a lot but it sure was never boring!
regarding the million pt game: I woonder what size playing area would be needed to field a total of 2.000.000 points worth of troops? Some sort of a sportsfield wouldn't be totally out of the question now would it?

A crowded board is about 1000pts/foot. So, that's 1,000 feet of board, or 300 meters.
My built armies are roughly:
SM: 8K
IG: 5K
Imperial Support (Navy and Titans): 3k
Orks: 11K
Eldar: 10k
Nids: 4K (Pitiful. No titan conversions yet.)
Solid on all counts (except 'Nids), but certainly not in the league of some of you guys.

Hi!

I have a squillion squillion points (which is a lot)
|
Is that all? I thought you had at least 3 squillion squillions.
You should go for the whole "google plex" amout of epic points.

I still mourn the passing of the Gorgon - they were latterly rather ugly miniatures and blatantly incapable of carrying the prescribed 25 guardsmen, but they matched the slow-but-indomitable steamroller advance aesthetic of the Stormhammer and massed infantry. Plus they were double hard

Gorgons rocked, and I know Jervis can't stand the Stormhammer model but I thought it rocked, much prefered it to the Baneblade.
Mind you, I liked the Squat models - shame that the NetEPIC group was around when Squats were in development, the Tunnelling Land Train AKA Hellworm (is that the right name?!?) was a superb idea and really inspired me, it was the whole reason I bought a squat army.
Other models I loved was the Eldar Phantom titan, the Collosus and the Forgeworld Chimeras.
The new FW basilisks and original beetle backed Warlord rocked too...

Gorgons are so cool....
If we reverse the intent of this thread and ask for anything you could possibly wish for? What would it be?
My wish is a Play By EMail version of Epic, sod the version, anything would do  .
I should really get round to finishing off the PBEM game of EOTS then I can do a PBEM EPIC scale game to plug into it and play as stand alone.

Maybe someone should leave a horse's head in some of the G/W & F/W staffs beds ?! 
Just a thought !
