So, those of you who played Epic Armageddon (I'm talking to both of you) know that Forge World made some cool resin models for us. One of the models was the Lucias Pattern Warhound Titan. Since EA sold so well and Forge World realized they just couldn't keep up with the insane demand, they decided to stop production in order to preserve their sanity and give them a little time to do things like 28mm scale Mantas and stuff like that. Whatever.

Anyway, this isn't a Forge World discussion, it's an eBay follies discussion. Follow the link below and see what the "going rate" for a bag of two Epic Warhound Titans is according to at least one seller.

Sometimes I have to wonder where people get their pricing data. Any bets on it selling?

120 bucks for a model that goes with a game system that I've never seen anyone play in the 5 years I've been in the hobby?

It'll sell like hotcakes, I'm sure of it.

Remember - the basic rule of commerce is the going rate of any given item is based solely on what someone is willing to pay for it. That's the beauty of eBay. After all, there's a sucker born every minute.

Oh, and also, while on the hunt for Dreads for Bjorn, I saw this:

It's "Pro Painted".

50/50. It sells or it doesn't.

Shame they botched Epic like that. The first incarnations were really good. The new version, not so much.

These are actually in pretty high demand by Epic players (I'm one of them). The thing is, FW didn't completely stop production, if you ring them up there's a decent chance they have some. If they're out, call back in a month.

They were actually in stock earlier today - they're out now. I was going to pick them up, but since my current Epic armies only stand at 1000 pts each (Guard, Marines, Orks), I decided I probably didn't need them.

And yeah, people on eBay charge ludicrous amounts for those Warhounds, often with the claim that they're OOP.

My "Pro-Painted" army I listed as "Well Painted" the last time it was up:

example: http://www.ebay.com/itm/130575652902?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649#ht_724wt_1185

It's leaps and bounds above that! I mad

Seems there is a market for "propainted" http://www.ebay.com/itm/260833509588#ht_1719wt_1114
Notice tha lack of highlights.

Actually the latest version is pretty good, they have gone back to elements of the previous versions that were more popular.

I always hope GW will revive Epic into a core game again, even though I think such a thing is unlikely. I think it's one of the best game experiences they have ever created.

**Mad4Minis**

I wonder about ebay sellers sometimes. Theres 1 seller Ive seen who routinely lists current production GW stuff for about 4x MSRP. Ive never bothered to look and see if hes actually sold anything.

**12thRonin**

Wonder what I could get for my original Metal Warhounds then.
