If it is Epic in scale, they are talking about 40K with titans and larger 8X8 boards. I was in a couple of these games.

They are fine if you have the time.

For 40K Epic, GW had a game that you could play Large scale Wargaming with titans, and mass battles on a small surface. the guys were like tiney, with 5 to a base.

The game is smaller the FOW scale.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/407167/3507718.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/407167/3507718.page GMT Epic Scale Games

Speaking of which: I wish someone would start making "not-GW" Epic models. I would love to build an Epic Ork army, but the infantry are ass...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/407167/3508085.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/407167/3508085.page GMT Epic Scale Games
Classic Battletech is supposed to be 1/300th.
Many companies make stuff in that scale (as well as model railway makers. I believe it's referred to as "ZZ" scale for them).

Actually, there are plenty of guys who make 6mm figures that can be used for Epic:

-Dark Realm Miniatures
-Steel Crown Productions <-- awesome, awesome 'Not-Necrons' and 'Not-Imperial Guard'
-Baccus 6mm

^Just a few of the 6mm sci-fi miniature makers out there]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/407167/3508721.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/407167/3508721.page GMT Epic Scale Games

I have some of those Battletech figures from about 20 odd years ago and the infantry are considerably bigger than GWs Epic miniatures, less of a problem for the vehicles.

GW. Do still sell Epic incase you have got the impression it is OOP. Rules are free to download and the minis are on the specialist games part if their website. It's a good game.

Thanks for the links, I will be checking them out.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/407167/3509768.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/407167/3509768.page GMT Re:Epic Scale Games IMO, Epic Armageddon , seem to be far more in synergy with 40k background than the '40k rules' do.

Probably because the epic scale of the background suits the scale of EA better?

Just a thought. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/407167/3512954.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/407167/3512954.page GMT
