  Epic Armageddon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Epic Armageddon (the latest in Epic series of games) is a tabletop war game made by Games Workshop.
Epic is set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe however where Warhammer 40,000 involves small battles between forces of a few squads of troops and two or three vehicles, Epic shows huge wars between massive armies of many dozens of tanks and hundreds of soldiers.
The scale of Epic is far smaller than in Warhammer 40,000 with a squad of soldiers (3 to 7 figures) in Epic being on a base smaller than one which a single soldier occupies in Warhammer 40,000.

 Agis Page of miniature painting and gaming - EPIC 40.000
At first glance you might think to yourself, "Epic 40,000 is just a smaller version of Warhammer 40,000, right?" Well, the answer to that is "No it's not, but there is a connection." The Warhammer 40,000 universe is a wide, rich and diverse place where the only real constant is complete and unending war.
On the other hand, Epic 40,000 tackles the more tactical and sweeping conflicts which take place between entire armies or groups of armies on a much larger scale than Warhammer 40,000.
Combats are won and lost not so much on the individual prowess of great heroes or even the combat skills of elite units, but more on strength of numbers and the tactics a commander uses to gain vital objectives and key battlefield locations.

Epic rewards tactics and objective oriented thinking, rather than rewarding cutthroat competitive lists, so you should try and construct your Space Marine army to aid you in those two tasks.
In 40K they were just annoyances, but in Epic you can take the formation of 4 whirlwinds, stick them behind a building or hill, and just lob missiles 90cm around the table onto enemy formations.
Epic requires an army to do lots of things - Take/hold objectives, take/hold territory, kill other units, defend friendly units, and readjust to changing battlefield conditions.

 [TMP] "Epic: Armageddon. Whats the verdict???" Topic
Epic: Armageddon has several advantages over Epic40K: the command and control system is significantly improved; activation of formations allows for subtleties such as seizing the initiative or simply differentiation of army-preferred actions.
The reason I said Epic: Armageddon has the potential to be the best, rather than believing it *is* the best, is mainly due to having played many games of Epic40K back in the day, and with a different army (Eldar then, Imperium now).
Epic: Armageddon is like the new girl you're dating - you like her a lot, but she still has to "compete" with the memory of a past girlfriend you've idealized over time.

 DVD REVIEW: ARMAGEDDON   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Spectacular and epic, "Armageddon" is $140 million worth of gee whiz and knuckle gripping suspense, but is also long in the tooth and subjects the heroes to more close calls than Charles Nelson Reilly in today's Army.
"Armageddon" is also pretty silly when you think about it, and that's where you're bound to get in trouble.
Regardless of the flaws, "Armageddon" manages to be a lot of fun, and the special effects are indeed special.

Unlike the 28 mm scale miniatures used to fight battles in Warhammer 40,000, the models used to fight Epic are about 6-7mm in scale.
Epic brings futuristic combat to your tabletop on a whole new scale as whole companies of troops do battle among legions of the most powerful and gigantic weapons of war ever to blast their opponents to oblivion!

 [TMP] "New verions of EPIC 40 K from GW "Epic Armageddon"" Topic
Granted they are trying to depart from the epic 40k ways of doing things, but it remains to be seen if those changes are enough to bring back the many who dumped epic after epic 40k was released.
Epic 40k was niether, yet they persist in releasing an epic game based on those mechanics.
As one of the many fans of Space Marine V2 who didn't get on with Epic 40k I just find it staggering that GW are being bloody minded and sticking their heads in the sand whilst going all guns to make another version of Epic that we all know isn't going to sell.

You can imagine then the reaction when Jervis pointed out that eventually the production of plastic infantry and vehicles for Epic would eventually cease and be replaced with newer models cast in metal for Epic Armageddon.
It is going to be at least a year before Epic Armageddon is released, and we are currently still check that it is even feasible to make Epic scale infantry in metal.
So there you have it, the future of the Epic infantry looks quite healthy in my opinion and I have to agree, I never thought I'd say it but Jervis is right; I really didn't miss having to clip them off the frames and stick them to their base.

Jane Yolen and Bruce Coville, household names for many young adult readers, have teamed for the first time to create a novel of truly epic proportions—a bold reflection on the end of the world as we know it.
With the millenium fast approaching, Armageddon has become a topic of conversation and speculation and Yolen and Coville have obviously heard the rumblings.
In Armageddon Summer, the award wining authors explore powerful themes—faith and friendship, love and loss, and the things that matter most at the end of the world —through the perspectives of their fictional teenage characters, Marina and Jed.
