    Indeed. TacComs is the community of players that helped develop Epic:Armageddon with Jervis back in the day, and when GW brought it down to a Tier 2 game that same community continued to develop the game to the point it's at today--with every 40K army represented and catered for in its own army list.

    When GW dropped Epic completely, the community continued to flourish, with new players coming in all the time, to the point where I just attended the Castle Assault tournament in Newcastle, NSW (Australia), with 15 other players throwing down.

    Amazingly painted and converted armies. I've got to get to Cancon in 2015!

    Wow! That's a lot of Epic Goodness! The Mars pattern titans and Necrons are especially brilliant! Lovely armies all around.

    Later Space Marine v2 came out which IMO was the best unified version of the game (though I feel Adeptus Titanicus is the best overall) and Titan Legions a while after that. And then Epic 40k *hisss* and the even more horrible Adeptus Titanicus v2 which was basically the worst thing ever.
    Pretty much this. And if two of us are in agreement, then under Internet Law I declare Gott and I to be irrevocably correct, yeah?

    Space Marine/Titan Legions was my game. Had a group of about 6 friends, all of us had multiple armies. It was just jolly good fun.

    Epic 40k? Well.......if I hadn't been so enamoured with the preceding edition (the best edition), who knows what I'd have made of it. The rules themselves were alright, certainly they made BFG the space battle game to beat - was it just hankering for the cards and individual weapon stats? Who knows.

    Epic Armageddon....K. Quite the soft spot for this. It had the detail of SM/TL, but the speed of Epic 40k, married together in a quite pleasing union. Downside was it's birth toward the demise of SG as a range .

    AT is for nutters though. Cameloline Titans! Warlords with Jump Packs! PLAYING TENNIS VIA RELAY WITH WARP MISSILES.

    Crap! Didn't check how old it was. Saw Warhammerfest, and assumed this year.

    there needs to be more epic discussion anyway. I've been considering sculpting my own 6mm enslavers and doing an all-out enslaver plague army as 6mm figures are cheap to produce compare to 28mm ones - and then I can paint up my epic necron and recreate some of the war in heaven stuff.
