Hello folks.

I'm busily clipping off my bits and trying to get a some workable 1500pt lists for my Enforcers and Plague. Anyone had a flick through the Army Lists and got anything interesting at this point level?

While these lists are essentially to run demos, I would like them to be somewhat thematic to the forces, but without any reinforcements or SHs they might be a bland... Hurry up, retail!

And, shameless plug, I'll be doing a fait bit of Epic Warpath stuff on my channel:

Please do drop your EWP thoughts and WIPs and lists and everything in here.

Cheers!

Lee.

The GCPS sprue is looking amazing, we finally get the Lancer tank after all these years!

Each of the sprues is really great, and reminds me of the old epic sprues.

I'm going to have a think about colour schemes and try to make something really distinct for each of the 8 factions.

I’m collecting any Epic unboxing videos and shorts in a playlist:

How tall is a normal GCPS human miniature? Enforcers and Plague cannot be used to check the scale since those are tall superhuman models.

Colour schemes... I was going standard white with the Enforcers, but have decided to break it up a bit with black tanks/vehicles, Heavy Ops will have red armour, Assault ops will have yellow helmets, and so on.

Plague will be a bit of a mish mash. Purple basecoat, heavy zenithal of a light brown, pick out some gribbly bits then probably an enamel grime wash. Vehicles will be different colours and rusted up.

I would think the Zombies are pretty close to human scale in this, and side by side the enforcers are about a head taller. A rough tape measure comparison puts the zombie at 10mm tall.

At least the dead zone versions of enforcer pathfinder, normal enforcer, gcps soldier, and marinette are all roughly the same height. So comparing any of them for check scale is probably close enough.

I'd be interested to know accurate heights of the various factions as well. Ideally a to-the-eye height, but to of head could be ok. I skipped the crowdfund, but are still considering these as a source of infantry for my 10mm sci-fi forces if they scale up well.

Amazingly, nobody who received their pledge so far had the skill or the means to measure an infantryman, nor a base, and we've been asking.

Someone on FB seriously told me they can't because they don't own a tape measure.

We should be able to get a comparison photo of the new bases vs. the Mantic round redibases at the very least. We know the size of those.

Mantic have posted a faction break down here in an older update on Kickstarter but I've not seen this elsewhere or in the rulebook.

not surprised at all given the only one (literally the only one) who measured the size of the LI models was a guy from germany who is doing reviews on his blog

I will do them once I get mine if it is still relevant

Imagine playing that person, just eyeballing their ranges because they don't have a tape measure

I measured a Zombie and an Enforcer the other day.

Bear in mind I only have Plague and Enforcers to compare.

OK that's not actually very clear, apologies.

Heights (base to top of head)

Zombies - 10mm

Ghouls - 12mm

Bloaters - 15mm

Leapers - 14/15mm (they are a bit hunched over)

Enforcers - 12mm

Peace Keepers - 13mm

Bases

Old Mantic Rounds - 25mm

New EWP bases - 30mm

There are also 40mm round MDF bases for vehicles.

ah ok - I didn't get any MDF bases for the Plague vehicles.

I think only the Asterian tanks come on 40mms

Has anyone with minis on hand managed to do a comparison with Epic/LImp minis? Would be nice to see them side by side.

Extra points for any Armoured Clash comparisons too ^^

Preorders and some new painted model shots: https://www.manticgames.com/?s=epic

I got my pledge today (US) with 1/2 of my factions; I got Nameless and Plague, I'm waiting still for GCPS and Marauders.

I also got a pile of buildings, but no real clue on how to assemble them. They seem pretty simple, but nearly every piece looks like ... a roof. There are very few pieces with doors or anything that looks like a wall.

Mantic, if you're seeing this, could you put together a guide showing a few recommended ways to assemble the buildings? I'm not quite sure how to assemble these all... Or rather, I'm afraid I'll build them, and miss some really cool combo I didn't see, or glue all the walls as roofs, or roofs as walls... lol

From the other thread, assembly instructions are on the way.

Instructions are up: https://www.manticgames.com/instructions/

How have people who got their stuff fared so far with missing pieces? I am missing a few 3D printed pieces in my reinforcements but that's it. Quality on everything has been great.

I have a review on my website

https://mat.tl/blog/2025/09/03/review-of-epic-warpath-2025/

Copying from the News thread:

Did a test print of some of the STLs (some emforcers, some GCPS and a matsudan base), and a quick paintjob to see how they look. IMHO, very good! The size makes the detail pop more than usual for Epic, too, which is cool

Enforcers:





GCPS:





Matsudan (Really didn't know what to do with them xd):

That blog from Mike about the Nameless is fantastic, thanks.

Some examples here: https://vanguardminiatures.co.uk/product-category/troublemaker-games/plastic-terrain-tile-sets/

Troublemaker are the company that provided the frames. It's all modular, so there's no real set way of building anything.

I added some ideas to the N&R thread

https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/1620/786779.page#11771153

There’s really no set way to put these together so I can see why a guide would be difficult to do. Most panels have an obvious top and bottom just make sure they are orientated correctly or you will have an upside down or sideways window or door. The white panels are good for walls and grey for floors but you can mix them.

Stress test printing now - just a variety tray of Marauder and Veermyn infantry, without checking the quality of presupports. Based on Mantic: Almost, I don't expect great things.

I've also had official confirmation from their guy that their unhinged looking part cuts were optimized for spin casting, as I suspected. They'd have probably saved some labour even for themselves (let alone customers) on presupports and on print on demand if they went back and optimized for printing. I personally will merge and recut and resupport all vehicles myself rather than wash&cure&glue 3mm sized bits like flyer wing tips.
