Okay, I'm thinking of starting an Epic army, seeing as I'm coming into some cash soon, but I wanted to ask some questions first.
1) Are the AdMec and Titan Legions army lists in the Epic Compendium tourney legal? I'm not sure, because on the one hand I've seen them refered to a lot in various blog posts about Epic, here and else where, but on the other hand, they are listed as "Expiremental" in the compendium, so I want to be sure.
2) If the answer to the above question is "AdMec and etc. are legal," how common are they as a tourney army? I ask because I've always been a big fan of the AdMec Fluff and so far haven't been able to get an army going in either 40K or BFG, my normal gaming systems (No AdMec in 40K, AdMec in BFg is all metal and thus horribly expensive), but I always like to be original and don't want to be just another n00b with an AdMec army
3) This is not really a question as much as an invitation to critque my first list, but will I get destroyed on a regular basis by established players if I run the following 3000 AdMec point army? I picked it based on what seemed cool (me likey Titans) and my first impressions of the rules, which may be way off, so let me know. (Disregard this part if AdMec are either not tourney legal or really common)
Reaver Titan
-Rocket Launcher, Laser Blaster, Volcano Cannon
-Veteran Princeps, Carapace Multi-lasers
-750 points
Warhound Titan
- Turbolaser, Megabolter
-300 points
Warhound Titan
- Turbolaser, Megabolter
-300 points
Skitarii Demi-Century
-Chimeras
-425 points
Skitarii Demi-Century
-Chimeras
-425 points
Cataphract Tank Company
-Vanquisher
-650 Points
Thunder Bolter Fighters
-150 Points
Total: 3000
I'm pretty sure tactics would change based on the opponent and the terrain, but in general, I have three strike forces, each based around a Titan. The Skitarii are paired with the Warhounds and do all the fancy flanking and manuevering and such, while the tank company is paired with the Reaver, providing a solid anvil. The Thunderbolts provide Aircover as needed. Is this a hopelessly naive, innocent n00b list, or does it have a chance?
