Hi!
You might ask Jervis how long you got to test these changes before it goes to the printers, it may not be a lot of time, but since there are many playtesters perhaps enough opinion can be generated quickly.

It's the only way to keep Epic around in the G/W lexicon. ?We'll always keep it alive in our dispersed cells, regardless. However, G/W does not need to try to turn a "sow's ear into a silk purse", as the saying goes. ?Take the time to do it right ... And thanks for the decoding, Neal ... we have gown to depend on your translation abilities ...

Hi!
They also need to justify the time and resources with sales, so they can't playtest it indefinitely, I would just caution them to make a lot of changes this late in the game. They seem to have a good system, not perfect, but good.
Its time to test it in the marletplace.

From Jervis on the playtest forum:
Unfortunaetly the new Capitol Imperialis and Collossus have both had to be put back for the time being (we just can't find enough 'straight-line' miniature designers to do all the work we'd like ) They *will* still come out, but nore for a while yet, and because of this I'm going to ull them from the Steel Legion list and save them up for future Guard lists (probably the Cadians for the Capitol Imperialis, and the Elysians for the Collossus).

Collosus? I take it the Imperium haven't nicked a few off the Squats before purging them and that the name is just a co-incidence...

Coincidence. The Collossus is a heavy orbital lander.

No question. There sculptors and painters are top notch.
To bad their marketers aren't grade A.....

I think I'll add "Marketing Purgatum" to the pseudo-latin slogans in the banners of my Black Templars.
