I agree 100% with you there.

>> There is, for the most part, no Chess 3rd Edition with new rules for the Queen and 5 new pieces.
Actually, there were hundreds of versions of chess over hundreds of years (just ask any SCA participant).
Maybe that means that 200 years from now there will be worldwide Epic Grand Champions.

Well... They have the Landa, but there's no point in it, really. Everything on the list can get there by itself REALLY quickly, and the best deployment option (stormboyz) is not on the SF list.
I do think it's a decent list overall, but it could be improved.
Not like that will stop me from playing it...

On second thought, a landa full of skorchas would be cool. Even though you can only deploy 5cm, you could get all the skorchas and the landa into FF. That would be 10 4+ FF for the skorchas, plus whatever the landa has (2 @ 5+?) and 12 units is a decent size for outnumbering.
Stormboyz would still be better, though...

Light vehicles take up 2 transport slots (it says so on the landas data sheet), so you could only take 5 skorchas, and they come in formations of 8  .
I mentioned the same thing on the playtesting forums. I really prefered the KOS as a formation of 5 units rather than 8. It meant they could fit in landas, And the normal\big\'uge formations size was alot more flexible at 5\10\15 than it is with 8\16\24. (can't ever see myself using a 'uge KOS with 24 models).
BTW, landas have 3DC and FF 4+.
You could fill a landa with a blitzbrigade of 5 deth koptas, but its not that great (5x FF 5+ attacks, you could do better with an ork warband).
I think the speed freak warband needs to have the trukks as an upgrade rather than standard, so they can use landas, battlefortresses or gunfotresses.

Well, as you can tell, I don't use Landaz a lot...
I'm not nearly as jazzed up about the list as I was, although it is nice to have an alternative.
Jervis has added a bike upgrade for standard Nobz stands and an Outrider bikerz formation (although I think the points are broken).

Don't worry, Jervis has increased the points cost of the outriders formations now

Hello everyone.
Sorry for being away, bbut things should get back to normal soon. I have a new job, so will get broad band and have access to the net again shortly.
While I've been off line, I have had quite a few games. The guy I was teaching epic to is a big fan now, and we play at least once a week.
After a 100% win record with Orks against his guard, I switched to Eldar on Friday for an esculating engagement encounter, and was soundly thrashed.
I was to used to my Ork tactics, and threw my army in without thinking. They were decimated.
Still it was a tremendously fun game, and attracted a lot of attention at the local club again.
So much so that we both now have a game planned for the next club night this friday teaching two more players, with others also wishing for a game.
At this rate I may get the opportunity to get a campaign going a the local club.
May I still say that Supa Stompas rule, and Ork fighta bombas kick warlord titan ass.

Yup, that is a good way to lose. There couldn't be two completely opposite forces. The Eldar are definitely a 'hit n' run' force, as opposed to the Ork 'run up and stomp you' method.
my 2cents,

I think it is great to hear the attention E:A is generating. Then again GW 6mm gaming has been away from the "easily accessible" market for quite a while so there's a whole generation of young bloods out there who has never seen this type of game before.
Cheers!
