On reflection my dream formation would be a point defence one of tarantulas and AA units that could be dropped as a formation to support a drop pod assault. Anyone else got any oddities?

Land Raider Crusader.

Because 6mm Land Raider Crusaders look awesome.

The Soulgrinder (very demonic/mutated Defiler) is a must needed addition to the Demon World army list - it's their main heavy support in the W40k list but oddly lacking in the current epic list (it's good they have access to the demon engines, but they really should have the basic choice too!). Close second would be Grey Knights Land Raider Reedemers and Razorbacks, since we have cool new FW models for those now.

I suspect in time all these will be added in time though, as for a new unit I will probably have to make up I would like to add a Giant/Greater Chaos Spawn for the chaos lists and make it AV or possibly LV (W40k have normal sized ones while FW produce a couple of massive spawn models). There are a couple of Warmaster chaos spawn models that could be perfect to use for them, and it gives players creative modelling opportunities to model something really big and chaotically mutated :)

I noticed slightly too late this was specifically in the Space Marine sub-forum, rather than asking about EpicA generally - oopsie! Probably Space Marine Veterans / Sternguard (or whatever they're calling them now) in that case.

New Unit (as in model)would be a Crusader too.

New Formation would be Drop Pod defence systems (after seeing Forge World variant armed pods). These would be Tarantulas/Rapiers/Assault Cannons etc. with immobile movement.

There's nothing from stopping you doing the Drop Pod thing now.


The first pod down represents the Deathstorm/Deathwind (weaponised) Pod, then the others that drop off your troops are invisible... just use other pods to represent the transport ones. :)

I was thinking of a formation of Tarantulas etc. being dropped in by pods and remaining as a formation for the game not a new style one shot pod model.

Doesn't lead to much BL.

Giant formations of empty Rhinos. I have bags of them I could use...

I once converted an epic rhino with a W40k space marine shoulder pad on the front and a little other plastic and putty - intention was a knackered out old one that wasn't repairable they'd filled with explosives and drove by remote control to the enemy where it would explode.

In fairness I was about 12 at the time.
