Do you have the actual Yahoo name or link for the casting group as I can't find it

On the subject of casting, does anyone think it would be a good idea to make a mould of some of the old plastic sprues?
I have some IG, SM and SM tanks. Would it be easy to make a cast of them and make some plastic copies of them?
Cheers
Chris

Ignoring the fact that its illegal for a moment, the plastif inf would be pretty hard to cast without a centrifugal or pressure caster. Even then with the fine detail its unlikely that you'd get the quality. If it was easy dont you think GW would be doing it? 
The tanks could probably be done. I chaos'd up a few land raiders and cast new sponsons for them a couple of years back. Worked OK. They're larger chunks so its far easier to cast.

OK, one of the guys in our group has moved to the Dark Side and wants to play Chaos. We play between 2,000 and 3,000 points for the most part.
What is a good mix to own at this point if he wanted to play using the new EpicA list? We want to get him some stuff but do not want to spend money/time to find we have not gotten him a good mix for those point ranges we play.
Advise, opinions, army lists?
post here or email is good to :-)

Dafrca,
I avoid chaos like the plague (odd analogy, no?), but I've heard that chaos particularly excels at close combat hordes. As long as you have a good CC horde then a chaos list ought to work well.
I know there are some threads at the E-A forums regarding this if you look.
Shalom and avoid all evil!
Maksim-Smelchak.

Currently the Chaos army's main strength is assault. That and assaults with daemons.
The army has a limited amount of long range fire but this can be rectified with Plague Towers and aircraft.
I's also make sure that the army had some of the specialised CSM formations. Primarily Bezerkers and Thousand Sons. The main reason for this is that they are larger formations and don't break as quickly.
So, what you want is
Marines
Daemons (and Greater Daemons)
Bezerkers
Thousand Sons
Plague Towers
Firelords
Doomwings
To add to this you'll want some Land Raiders to carry Terminators in your CSM Retinues.
If you can find it you might also want to sub out one of the Plague Towers for a Lord of Battle but only if you know your opponent is going to bring on smaller Titans as it then gets used as a way to keep the Wolfhounds and Reavers the heck away from your formations as they won't want to get into charge range of the Lord of Battles.
I'd avoid using Armoured Detachments in a smaller army. Add any Predators and Land Raiders you have to your Marine Retinues instead.
