With a host of new Superheavy Units descending upon the sci-fi battlefields of Epic Warpath this summer, we're sure that you've got some incredible hobby project ideas...and can't wait to see what you cook up!
And if you're new then there's lots of great ways to get started - let's take a look, and then get into the basics of how to play Epic Warpath with a handy video series.
First Steps in Epic Warpath
For an incredible all-in-one box set, you can't go wrong with the Battle for Phrovox. It contains two enormous 10mm scale armies, so you and a friend can dive in with a truly magnificent summer hobby project. Everything is in glorious hard plastic, very finely detailed, and delivers the incredible sensation of commanding a truly massive force in a way that simply can't be matched in heroic-scale games.
And before we start, let's just touch on the huge amount of faction variety at your fingertips - because this is a game brimming with choice and possibilities!
Discover EIGHT different factions - and plenty of aliens!
Not everyone wants to be the Enforcers or the Plague, so there are lots of other (very) fun factions to dive into.
Here's the complete list below, all with a host of fantastic miniatures and asymmetric strategies to discover:
- Asterians - an ancient and fading empire, guarding its many secrets with peerless mastery of remote drone warfare
- Enforcers - the elite, uncompromising, faceless operators that are the right hand of mankind's shadowy ruling Council
- Forge Fathers - spacefaring dwarfs with unmatched heavily-armoured vehicles and industrial technology
- GCPS - the corporate private militaries that dominate the stars in humanity's future
- Marauders - highly professional orc mercenaries, both intimidating and intelligent
- Nameless - the strangest and most alien threat in the galaxy, oozing 'cosmic horror' themes and flavour
- Plague - armies of soldiers, corrupted and possessed by a seemingly sentient virus
- Veer-myn - devious rat-men equipped with vicious and ramshackle machines
They all have their own fully hard plastic Core Army boxes, as well as a tempting 'Commander Bundle' that comes with lots more entertaining things to deploy - such as your first Superheavy!
So while you're choosing who to conquer the galaxy with, (an important life decision), let's take a look at how the game plays.
