Apocalypse

[Brad85]

I was originally looking at 6mm for that reason, but fell further down the rabbit hole

[Ray]

I have a ton of 6mm stuff already. Could probably put together several apocalypse armies from it with no problem.

[Brad85]

Hmmm.. I think I'll swing back towards 6mm

Should have known you'd have some Epic kicking around

[Darkson (Simon)]

Leave it in inches, the speed and range of weapons coupled with the smaller figures will make it look and feel more 'epic' (pun not intended) - one of the 'realism breaks' for most wargames for me has always been how slow vehicles are/short ranged weapons are (though I understand why from a rules perspective).

Of course, if you're doing it because you have a smaller play area, then converting to 1cm = 1 inch is the way to go.

[Ray]

Simon, one of the problems with playing apocalypse at the club is that really it wants to use all the tables...

[Brad85]

This way means going big, without being big

[Tom]

Hah! I too found myself browsing Epic models and reminiscing and pondering a revival. Itā€™s the little dinky tanks I love.

Trying to focus my hobby efforts in one direction at a time but if your experiment gets off the ground I could be tempted...

[Brad85]

Now I'm not trying to build two balanced forces I'm leaning hard toward tanks, planes and knights.
Maybe a titan.

All the good stuff that won't fit on a normal table

[Ray]

I have a ton of marines all ready to go I think, if you want to start off with something else for a trial run? Are you using 3rd party knights and titans or the adeptus titanicus ones? They are more in scale than the old epics ever were.

[Brad85]

Looking at 3rd party, but the detail level is bugging me. Using the Titanicus models gives me a gateway into another game and fielding a buttload of knights had an nice ring to it.
