Core rules

The core rules are just that, the core of the Epic 40,000 game. Once you've read through this section you'll be ready to fight out battles using Epic scale vehicles and infantry. The core rules are concerned only with how units (that's to say any kind of troops, tanks and so on) move and fire on each other and participate in assaults. What else is there to know? I hear you ask. Well, all sorts of stuff to do with using massive war engines, swift flyers, artillery and so on. These are covered at Special rules. There is also the matter of what kind of battle is fought and what terrain it is fought over, which is discussed in some detail in the conveniently named Battles Book [Battles].
