As someone who plays Titanicus, I can't wait to see what kind of devastation a titan can bring to a target that isn't another titan or knight!

[christopherschwab]

We don't always have similar takes, Jay, but I think your idea of Epic as the exclusive design-space of "things that wouldn't fit on a table in 40K" is spot-on. It really makes 'what they're delivering instead' seem safe and insipid, if less likely to lose GW buckets of money...

Unification Wars would have been the post-apocalyptic, wasteland-punk world war I'm still hoping for. there are insanely cool Artworks out there.

[ObnoxiousCaterer]

Happy cause models are cross-compatible, sad cause no itty bitty xenos titans.

[JackSmith-jm]

You either die an EPIC hero. Or you live long enough to become a Villain Imperialis.

[chriswinks]

well, history is repeating itself, back in the 80's it started with Titans before going into 40K. The box had a bunch of building and space marines in Mark 6 armor and then they just added on different races and including Mark 7 marines so there is nothing stopping them from doing the same. I'm sure it won't take much to adapt the rules. I had a big Blood Angel and Eldar army which sadly I sold off years ago. I even had the Nurgle upgrades for the Titians. They looked great. Anyway, great Channel you've inspired me to start painting again, I just pulled out my 1974 Warhammer first edition Goblins. rug Longtooth will be taking to the battlefield again. To know who that is you need the supplement forces of fantasy.

[CupCakeUnleashed]

I’d love for this to expand into 40k. Just keep creating boxsets, starting with a 40k box, since most of the factions did exist during HH

[angelnaranjo]

This isn't Epic. This is Titanicus with troops, tanks and planes.

[notworthit]

Get in on the Epic Armageddon community. You should do a video painting an army and playing. You could even do Orks vs Necrons.

[BlackCountrySoul]

Think you’re getting a bit mixed up with the years and there were multiple editions of “Epic”.
Epic Armageddon was the final official version of Epic and was released in the 2000’s.
The game released in 1988 was the original Adeptus Titanicus which was followed in 1989 by Space Marine. This is considered 1st edition.
They then changed up the rules and made a 2nd edition of Space Marine in 1991 and added to it with Titan Legions in 1994. This was 2nd edition.
They changed the rules again and released Epic 40K in 1997. That was 3rd edition. Then in the 2000’s released Epic Armageddon which is 4th edition.

The fan community has been making 40k epic proxies for years.

[boardofgames]

I loved the way that there were no bases on vehicles back when I was playing Space Marine…in 1989 or something like that. Maybe I played though to the 90s on and off.

Thé scale lends itself to Ork and other canon fodder forces without remortgaging the house.

The orders system for Space Marine (Epic 40k) was amazing as it puts you as the player in a commander role more than 40k.

Going to look over the rules for this. Of course legions was chosen to stamp out the legions name for Star Wars Legion…maybe?

“Wanna play legions this weekend? “

[Midnight_Tomorrow]

Something small scale like this feels perfect for university students. Moving to and from university all the time i dont wanna slog around boxes upon boxes of minis and terrain. Something small like this however, a couple armies and some terrain could fit in a relatively small box, and could be so easily packed up, moved, and played anywhere. I wish there was more variety in the models so yeah maybe 40k wouldve been a better setting but im still very interested

[itsheresy]

Back in the original Titanicus we had other races, they existed and there was conflicts with them during the Heresy, so Eldar and Ork armies should be released at least.. I think them going Horus Heresy doesn't *have* to exclude many of the other races, but of course that doesn't mean we'll see them, this is probably it, Imperials vs Heretic only

[FunkBastid]

The Horus Heresy went from an epic story from the age of heroes to a tedious slog

[insomniacbritgaming]

the thing about the Heresy era games... the armies can be either traitor or loyalist... well for those who became traitor anyway, same with renegade... Horus has Loyalist and Traitor rules

[samthompson]

For the scale, and having had epic back in the day (plus dropzone now) they are fantastically painted! 😊

[hootie]

I think Horus Heresy Epic is the only way I would play Horus Heresy. I already have some 40k armies. I don't want to build another one with different rules. If they make fliers good in this Epic scale, I am in. Fliers are almost too hard to do in 40k.

[gerardmontgomery]

I think with bringing back The Old World and pushing 30K, GW are trying to have the option for two time periods in each of their two main lines. The main time period where they have legends of the near mythical before time and the actual before times where you can see just how those legends really played out.

[mightyblowstudio]

My main concern is because its Horus Heresy setting only a lot of people will pass on playing it and that may give GW the idea that people just arent as interest and so not pursue a 40k setting. I hope it does well cos I want to see it expand into 40k mainly
