description Epic: Armageddon Overview
Epic: Armageddon depicts mass warfare in Games Workshop's Warhammer 40,000 setting, using small-scale miniatures to represent formations rather than concentrating on individual soldiers. Infantry and armored vehicles share the battlefield with enormous war engines, allowing engagements to suggest the scope of a campaign's major battles. Its original army lists cover Space Marines and Imperial Guard forces, alongside Orks associated with the war for Armageddon. Alternating formation activations make the timing of orders a central concern.
Players must coordinate movement and attacks while managing the effects of enemy fire on their forces' ability to act. Objectives give maneuver a purpose beyond destroying opposing models. The game suits science fiction wargamers interested in combined arms tactics and broad battlefield decisions within the 41st millennium.
