Very interesting! How do the established Epic players feel about the change of scale?

[Malika]

From what I've picked up around me on various forums people either think this is the end of Epic (as in the fan scene) or it will become a total revival. I'm a bit in doubt as to which it'll be. I guess 8mm Space Marines would make fine 'true scale' marines next to 6-7mm infantry. Titans and vehicles would be more accurately sized since in Epic the scales have always been off.

It's a smart move by GW, since they've basically turned a whole lot of third parties who've been producing proxies redundant. I can see their Age of Sigmar stuff (which is slightly larger than normal 28mm scaled models) being a step into a similar direction.

Luckily enough the stuff I've been doing for Vanguard Miniatures is slightly larger than the usual 6mm scaled stuff, meaning it might be compatible with GW/FW's upcoming 8mm range.

On the other hand, it'll all depend on how much attention/dedication GW/FW will give to this new range. If they'll end up ditching it in 2-3 years (which is a big possibility) the impact on the Epic community might not be that big at all.

I feel it'll be unlikely to have a serious impact on Epic. The tournament scene in the UK and Australia is well established and I doubt many long time players will want to buy new armies. Beyond that, GW was already pushing 7-8mm on the characters prior to discontinuing Epic and the fan sculpt "true scale" titans are the size of the new GW titans if my calculations are correct.

We also aren't talking about a relaunch of epic, just Titanicus. It'll be a stand alone box set not unlike Space Hulk or the others they've been putting out the last few years and very limited probability of an expansion.

Yeah GW has always had a very rubbery scale, so I figured it would actually probably be better to have the larger titans and vehicles.

Good point about it just being a Titanicus relaunch. With that in mind I can see how it will either have very impact on Epic players other than perhaps providing some cool new titan models.
