I doubt I’ll get into Epic Scale 40k in any meaningful way, for the same reason I’ve more or less abandoned 28mm scale 40k (its become a caricature/parody of itself). If you think of this site as a supplement for the core rules, similar to how a Codex works in 40k, that will help put it into perspective.

This last site is very good, as it has, amongst other things, an excellent outline of how to build an army list, along with army lists summaries and quick reference sheets.

If you’re interested in using this system for games of 30k (as far as I’m concerned, Epic Scale is the scale that 30k should be played in, and will be my hobby/gaming focus for the foreseeable future), you can find an excellent fan site with the various Legion rules here. You’ll also find there many of the army lists for the various 40k races.

If you’d like to download a copy of the core rulebook, it’s available here. As well as deepening my appreciation of the subtleties and nuances of the gaming architecture of the system too. I’ve only had a handful of games, but I’ve thoroughly enjoyed each game, and learnt more and more each time. This means that rates of advance, synchronising the effects of supporting units (so called force multipliers), weapons ranges, weapon effects, terrain and close air support are all critical considerations (far beyond that of 28mm 40k). It’s not a strict “you go, then I’ll go” style of play such as that found in 28mm scale 40k. This is a real tacticians game that is very interactive and dynamic. A 5,500 point Epic army fits very comfortably into a shoe box. These armies and scenery are very difficult to store. If you’ve been following this blog for a while, you’ll know that I (used to) have a vast collection of armies, Titans and scenery. (interestingly, 40k Epic Scale games are around 3,000pts) The other point is storage. The army that you see below, which is about 5,500pts worth (most 30k Epic scale games are 4,000pts) only cost me around $400AUD. There are a few very positive aspects of this ‘garage’ version of Epic Armageddon when compared to its 28mm counterpart. These rules (not surprisingly) are balanced and comprehensive. To bring the system to modern standards, the community has created their own supplements to contemporarise the army offerings in Epic Scale that have since been made available in 28mm scale that were not around when GW abandoned the Epic format. So after much researching, I discovered there is a hardcore, dedicated community that still play using the Epic Armageddon rules set. A real testament to the dedication and commitment that members of the gaming community have to the hobby. The quality and attention to detail is truly astonishing. The fans that make these models appear to design them using CAD, then 3D print them out. If you look at the post just before this one, where I painted an Epic Armageddon Renegade Milita army, you’ll see what I mean. I have to say, these fan made miniatures are superb. Since that point in time, I’ve been hooked.

To my surprise, I noticed that fans were now producing their own miniatures, in spite of Games Workshop abandoning the system almost a decade ago. Always intrigued by Epic Scale, I went and had a look. To kick things off, I attacked this Epic Scale World Eaters army I’ve been nursing for the past seven months.Ī few years ago I was at a 40k tournament and noticed that there was an Epic Armageddon tournament also happening on the other side of the hall. I finally finished study for the year, which means that I now have time to do some painting and gaming.
