Epic 40,000 allows you to recreate armies that shake the very earth with their march in battles that span entire continents. Epic 40,000 uses 6mm scale models, which are perfect for massed formations.
The Space Marines are the most powerful and dreaded of all Imperial forces. They are not human at all but superhuman, having being made superior, in all respects, to a normal man by a harsh regime of genetic modification, psycho-conditioning and rigorous training. Their unswerving loyalty is to the Emperor of Mankind and no other.
Titans are the supreme fighting machines of the Imperium. They are giants with skins of adamantium, protected by fields of almost impenetrable energy - each crew links their minds with the war-spirit of the Titan, creating an unstoppable war machine.
The Imperial Guard is the largest and most diverse military organisation that the galaxy has ever seen. Numbering in the billions and equipped with armoured vehicles, artillery and all the other adjuncts of mechanised warfare, the Imperial Guard forms both the hammer and the anvil of the Imperium's might.
All Imperial air forces come under the direct command of the Imperial Navy and not the Imperial Guard. These aircraft are able to provide ground troops with invaluable aerial support. Imperial Guard commanders are able to contact Lightning Strike Fighters to sweep in and break up enemy armoured formations, or request Marauder Bombers to eliminate enemy fortifications.
The Eldar are an incredibly ancient race, who once ruled a vast empire across the stars. Then came the hideous times of The Fall, when the Eldar were all but consumed by their own decadence and fell from power. Though few in number, the Eldar are one of the most technologically advanced races in the galaxy.
The Tau believe that now is their time; their race, their empire will bring unity to all. There is no foe their technology cannot overcome, no quandary their science cannot resolve. The very stars themselves will be reforged in the cause of the Greater Good.
Orks are the most widespread and warlike race of aliens in the bloodstained galaxy of the 41st millennium. Orks occupy more of the galaxy than any other single race and were they unified they would soon crush all opposition. However, their passion for violence is so unquenchable that they expend far more time warring amongst themselves.
From the twisted region of space known as the Eye of Terror, the Chaos Space Marines launch their devastating Black Crusades against the Imperium. Once valiant and pure Space Marines like those that serve mankind, these warriors rebelled and were forever damned after the wars of the Horus Heresy to eternal servitude to the vile gods of Chaos!
Many Imperial structures are pre-fabricated from ancient STC designs, allowing military deployments to quickly deploy fortifications, trench networks and command posts. Imperial buildings on long-established worlds have been built onto or re-constructed over many thousands of years, resulting in huge edifices of gargoyle-riddled gothic majesty.
