The 1.8 'grand release' of Ultimate Apocalypse, which came out on Sunday, is referred to as The Hunt Begins and adds two new factions and an overhauled skirmish mode, and focuses on mod-made factions Inquisition versus Chaos Daemons. Maybe that's just as well - the word 'epic' just makes me think of insurance adverts now. That is Epic, or Apocalypse as Games Workshop now call it. But I am going to point at it and say 'look! Look! Wouldn't it be amazing if this was as good as it sounded?'

Unfortunately I've had more luck trying to elicit empathy in cats than I have trying to download 'grand release' of Ultimate Apocalypse at a sensible speed, so can't tell you much for at least another three hours.

Epic was my first Games Workshop game, and because the first things we're exposed to are always the ones we believe to be the best, its grand-scale, massed army, enormous Titan-centric battles remain the only way I think 40K should be played. I would love to froth at you about the new release of an ultromod for the original Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Soulstorm, which transforms it into a simalcrum of Epic / Apocalypse 40K.
