What's the least amount of points per side to have a good game of Epic40K? I haven't played since Space Marine and we would play with 6+ titans per side and I don't even know the point ceiling. Most of that stuff is long gone though so I have just a bit of my original miniatures. Thanks |

We recently had some nice games with only 1000 points. I recommend about 2500 usually, a lot of stuff on the table, some big warengines etc. However, with 6 Titans you will bring about 3000 just in Titans. Let's say the games we had with only Titans on the table where among the less interesting ones. Cheers, Athistaur |

I used to play 2000pts, and I remember the veteran's nights at my local GW way back in the late '90s were 1750pts (which were meant to be played in 70' for more game turnaround) |

Using just infantry and armor, I'd say 1000 pts a side on about a 5' x 3' table top. Anything over that, on that size table, I would probably only add Heavy armor and Titans, etc. for additional points, or play on on a bigger table. Otherwise it's too crowded to maneuver and just becomes a shooting match. Scenario, objectives, and terrain are probably more important to a fun game than just trying to max out on points. Some of the most enjoyable, stimulating, and challanging E40k I have personally played were using the 'fog of war' scenario from the Epic green Battles Book. |

Cool, I should be able to pull off at least one army at 2K. I have in total 2 warhounds, one warlord, one reaver about 20 stands of marines and whatever came in the epic box set (still on sprues). Is there anything you would recommend for Orks/Marines to pick up? Was there ever a Space Wolves list for Epic 40K? What I think I have left of my infantry (painted at least) is a 'great company' from the old card-based lists. |
