THE SHORT VERSION

Che Webster proposes a staged introduction to Epic through infantry, mechanised troops, tanks and artillery. Each addition teaches a new role: infantry holds ground, Chimeras enable manoeuvre, Leman Russ tanks remove armour and artillery suppresses opposing formations. Template forces let players practise the parts separately before combining them. The approach makes collecting the army a sequence of playable milestones.

Collecting Bretonnians: Mustering the Host of the Lady

Adi McWalter builds a 2,000-point crusading force around a grandson seeking the remains of his fallen ancestor. The narrative guides character vows and equipment, but the army also needs useful roles in every phase. Knights receive support from peasants, Mounted Yeomen, Pegasus Knights and a Trebuchet. His explanation shows how a personal theme and practical combined-arms choices can develop together.

Steel Legion Army List

The army list organises the Steel Legion around infantry, mechanised, tank, super-heavy and artillery companies. Each company unlocks supporting formations and limited upgrades, while aircraft and Titan battlegroups provide larger assets. Costs, formation sizes and transport conditions make the collection advice usable as an actual army. Strategy and Initiative ratings establish how these forces operate within Epic’s activation system.

Epic Training Scenario

Matched small forces compete for a central objective that must be held for a complete turn. Guidance covers table size, terrain density, rivers and deployment, allowing the mission to accommodate different training armies. It is intended for short games that introduce the rules in manageable stages rather than immediately requiring a full tournament battle.
