I dont know whether this is a result of the 'bad press' or real commitments. Whatever, I must admit that I think that PG showed maturity and responsibility, and I admire him for this.

I agree that freedom of speech was limited on the Epic Playtesters board, and now that PG has stepped down, I think it will become more open.
However, as there has now been a rules lockdown, what is the need for a playtesters board? Whatever is said will make no difference, unless it is in a rules annual, which won't be produced for AT LEAST a year.
I think the Playtesters forum will dissapear very soon after the games release.
With all this said, I too admire PG, the way he graciously stepped down without a blaze of controversy, which wouldn't have suprised anyone if he had stepped down when all the polls for moderator changes were around.
However, I believe what he has said should be taken with a pinch of salt, perhaps it is just a coverup story devised by him and Jervis....
Cheers
Chris

I agree, the Playtest Forum may be a loney place a few months after E-A's release. However there may be questions and some errata ... there always is with a new game.

And there's swordwind already in production, with the other supplements and game styles they're planning (Titan, Flyer) there should be plenty that _needs_ testing.
Whether it will get the attention it reqires once we all have a completed basic ruleset to play with is another matter....._________________ Cheers, Paul "TuffSkull" T. http://hobbybrush.com - My New Website, with thousands of painted Mini Pics :) http://hobbybrush.blogspot.com - My Hobby Blog TuffSkull's notepad- My Old Blog on Wargames Wiki.

Oh, there is still much to playtest... Jervis had allready made it clear that the next lists (Eldar, Chaos, Tyranids, etc) will be playtested through the forum. I think there also will be suggestion for house rule going for Epic Mag, or addenda/modification for an upcomming "Epic annual".
There is still much activity on the forum, and it feel like it will remain the "official forum" of the game. The link form the official site is named "forum", not "playtest forum" after all.

Swordwind is the working title for the Eldar Release. The studio army will be Biel - tan and thus I assume the rules and campaign background will be based on that craftworld.
Thats all I know. Honest.  _________________ Cheers, Paul "TuffSkull" T. http://hobbybrush.com - My New Website, with thousands of painted Mini Pics :) http://hobbybrush.blogspot.com - My Hobby Blog TuffSkull's notepad- My Old Blog on Wargames Wiki.

Hi!
Thats one thing I like on how the plan the releases. Like in the old SM days there will be books for the armies, I think that's pretty positive.
Of course it remains to be seen the system will generate enough sales to warrant firther books, but thats another thread...

Tuff, do you know if Swordwind will be like the older SM2 realeases, with the book and models all in the same box? Or will it be an off the shelf suppliment like a Codex, and the models seperate?
Unless they plan on doing like an army box set?
Cheers
Chris

Minor point: The SM2 releases had no miniatures, Just the books & the army cards.
Real answer: "I Know nothing...."
The last I heard on that front was that the plan was to do a seperate book with the fluff & new army list(s) seperate from any miniatures. I guess the final call is really down to the marketing bean-counters though & wont be made until nearer the time.
Sorry for a useless & highly blagged answer (I should be a politician... *Shudder*)._________________ Cheers, Paul "TuffSkull" T. http://hobbybrush.com - My New Website, with thousands of painted Mini Pics :) http://hobbybrush.blogspot.com - My Hobby Blog TuffSkull's notepad- My Old Blog on Wargames Wiki.

PG has returned to be a moderator, as it seems even tho there were many people unsatisfied with the way PG operated, there was no-one interested in being a mod.
Fortunately, PG is quite a reasonable person. I really don't see him abusing his powers. On friday I have reported to him the case of "Cameronp", a person who tried to post stats for the Deceiver C'tan in 40k statline format, and after being... reminded... by me what the EA forum is about started sort of flame war against me, calling me d**k and m**********r, as well as calling the thread about Necron list "useless", probably just because I have told him that his post was, at least for Epic players, useless.
Well, PG dealt with the problem quite efficiently. He did not forget also to remind me about that I should not start excanging insults with people like cameronp and just report to the mod on the very moment I spot such behaviour. He was absolutely right, I think.

On the release question earlier:
Feb is the current target.
Rulebook (card templates in the back)
8 boxed sets, presumably 5 titans (3 imperial, 2 ork) and 3 infantry (1 per army)
~20 blisters
I rather expected a "starter army" box for each, and that may be the case, rather than my above speculation.
Future releases are targetted for every 6 months, and the most recent order Jervis posted was Eldar, Nids, Chaos. Originally, nids were moved up to coincide with some 40K release for next summer. No word from Jervis on whether this new order was a typo, a shortening of the time frame (2 releases in 6 months), or that the piggy-back promotion idea is defunct.
No word as far as the order for the future forces, but it'll be about 2 years at best. I would suspect, though that if a new race is released for 40K as rumor has it, that the Epic line for that race would be moved up to take advantage of it.

Well - I can confirm that five of the boxed sets will be - Space marines (unknown composition, expect tact and dev), Ork big warband (confirmed), IG tank company (confirmed), IG arty company (confirmed), IG inf company (expected, probably mobile inf)
