It can be for either normal codices or superheavies (Forgeworld)

I'll get us Rolling:

Eldar StormSerpent (http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Storm_Serpent#.Uf_kUI2sii0) - Superheavy gravtank transport with a stable warpgate at the rear. Hello portable reserves!

Hit it gang:

PS, if you have a link to the stats' or a pic that would be great. EPIC is fading away fast on the internet...

BANELORD

It's the only logical answer ;)


Or Termites / Moles for absurdity.

For outright absurdity?

Silver Tower of Tzeentch. Imagine a bastion that both moves, and flies.

Knight Titan, Knight Titan, Knight Titan.

It's an Ad-Mech 1-man walker, Imperial answer to the Wraithknight. I want GW to release one SO MUCH. Even if it'd make my 4 converted ones obsolete.

You know if they made one, someone would convert it and drop some cuckoo clock workings in there. And it would be awesome.

Tyranid dominatrix?

Dude, I didn't even know epic had tyranids, but i always liked the little bits of fluff for this beastie. Plus, duh, best name ever.

Ork Battle Fortress for me!

I want a weird boy slinging spells while hauling my greens skins to the front lines.

Any of the Ordinatus Engines or the Daemon Primarchs.

There was a giant Squiggoth looking creature for Orks, that was called Orkeosarus.(probably misspelled) This thing made regular Squiggoths look small, as far as scale goes it would seem to be even bigger than FW's Gargantuan Squiggoth.
Other than that, i would love to see the Weirdboy Fortress, and the Ragnarok Tanks from the Imperial Siege dudes. (these looked like KV-2 Russian Tanks)

Edit: Under Epic's Resources is the rules and model pictures (in color!) Also note the Speed Freakz and White scars PDF's.. Would these coincide with the rumored Warhammer 40,000 Codex Supplements coming? :D

Edit 2: Under the Speed Freakz PDF on the first page is a Grot on a Rocket-powered Wheel with two sluggas firing... I want those!

Even before I opened this thread I was thinking Storm Serpent, but since that's been mentioned I'll put forward the honorable runner-up, the Void Spinner http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Void_Spinner. Cause not only are monofilament weapons cool, you know a weapon has to be badass when it's use is considered abominable even by haughty Eldar standards.

Bigred
08-05-2013, 06:09 PM
Agreed Archon.

And yet we both know all that awesome VoidSpinner fluff will be reduced to:

Void Weaver: 72" S:7 AP:6 Primary Weapon 5, Apocalyptic Barrage, Monofilament, Pinning, Fleshbane

:)

im with Archon on the subjugator but helknights would be doable right? i mean they are wraithknight sized...... and you can turn the knees around on them :) just need to not use arms or head and pop a gun in the crotch :) and bingo!

id love to see someone do a hell turkey as a fire lord :)..... hmm im planning a tzeench army if GW ever do chaos like the DV set :) maybe then

i cant believe people have not said this yet though.........

DEMON PRIMARCHS!!!!!!!!! i know they never did him but id love a demon lorgar, the art for him in the HH card and art books was wicked!

Tonight's top ten list from the home office on Cadia-top 10 EPIC models I think are in my basement that I want in 40K

1) Imperial Knights
2) Stormhammer
3) Silver Towers of Tzeentch (could build one now from the fantasy tower of sorcery)
4) Some of the Chimera variants that never made it into 40K (yet)
5) Warlock Titan
6) Khorne Deamon engines
7) various titan weapons (warp missle, grapple, weapon heads, etc)
8) Leviathan
9) Dominatrix
10) "mole" transports (basically drop pods that come out of the ground instead of the skies)

Left off intentionally: Deamon Primarchs (Forgeworld said they'd do these eventually anyway), Banelord (GW had stats released), Emperor titans (same), Eldar Knights (Wraith Knight basically is this). Pretty much also left off anything I think stats (but not models) have been made for.

Swap Fleshbane to some sort of Toughness test or die for models hit but not killed, and I think it'd be perfect.

From 2nd edition Epic Space Marine I would want the Squat Land Train, the Squat Overlord Armoured Airship, the Squat Colossus, the Squat Leviathan, the Squat Cyclops and the Squat Iron Eagle Gyrocopter.

I saw someone ask about the Storm Serpent on the FW Facebook page ages ago (two years or more) and they said they wanted to make one eventually. But given how they seem to regard their eldar range with contempt I really doubt they will. It would be number one on my list though.

The Warp Hunter, because the FW rules sure aren't one.

I'd also be concerned because it seems like a really easy set of rules to screw up. If you match the mechanics up with the fluff and make it units coming in from Reserves, a la DE Webway Portals, it's pretty impractical for a T3 4+/5+ save army, and nevermind assault units. While fluffwise it doesn't make sense, making it a high capacity assault transport is a lot more useful. I don't know how you'd work it exactly.

Well it could be useful if it let them assault on the turn they arrived. But I agree it would be hard to do right and frankly I don't trust FW to do it properly. It would probably be ridiculously OP at first then they would nerf it to uselessness.

Got to be the Ork Tanks for me.

Love to see a Lungbursta, Bonebreaka, and Gutrippas plastic kit.
Also Battle wagons like they used to (should still) be with a Wierdboy tower.
