If I know my GW, they'll send these guys a letter saying "Thank you for your interest. Now cease making these or we'll send in the legal team."

I very much doubt that. The influx of players is almost non-existent. The game is dying a slow death.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245500/796719.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245500/796719.page GMT epic necrons and nids(fixed everything)
Games with strong rules-sets, decent background and cheaply available minis with continue to survive because people want play them. No-one plays 40k because of the rules-set or because the figures are cheap (in fact its probably the reverse, in that you have spent so much on the figures you feel compelled to play the game system).

Aye, there's the rub. The supply of Epic minis is a finite resource. GW can pull the plug from SG at any moment, as they've already done from FW's Epic assortment.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245500/797830.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245500/797830.page GMT Re:epic necrons and nids(fixed everything) GW has nothing to say about the inventory of FW.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245500/797911.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245500/797911.page GMT epic necrons and nids(fixed everything) FW epic molds really were deteriorating. The models I purchased recently were fine in places... but not so fine in others, especially the track wheels for example (or complete lack of them in the case of my stormblades and stormswords!).

So I don't think this is a matter of GW pulling the plug.

Maybe SG's range will at some point be withdrawn, but for the moment you have the complete range of models available for what is by far their best game and the added incentive that they aren't going to release a new army book and invalidate half your collection! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245500/801195.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245500/801195.page GMT epic necrons and nids(fixed everything) GW has always kept the design of the Epic minis 'sub par' because they fear if they make them as good as they could folks might start using them for regular 40K. Certainly that is the reason I think they've never done 15mm.

I also agree Epic doesn't seem so great until you actually play it. I was never that impressed until someone made me play a game and then I got hooked. As a real 'army' game it is far better than Apoc and certainly cheaper and more practical.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245500/801789.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245500/801789.page GMT Re:epic necrons and nids(fixed everything) GW or FW will do anything with epic now.
An friend who want to order some epic stuff just get that email :

"Hi

Thank you for your email

Unfortunately we have now discontinued the epic range, it is now in a
review period to decide if the range should be re launched.

Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause

Thanks
Forge World
"

So I not think they will release new army for an discontinued range : )

All the best ;

That's pretty depressing. The multi-part epic space marines FW produced (and sold at events only) were brilliant.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245500/811005.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245500/811005.page GMT
