Picking a scenario

There are a number of scenarios included with Epic 40,000, the details for which are listed later. Refight 1: Gogard's Last Stand! and Refight 4: The Sulphur River are probably the simplest scenarios and so are a good starting point.

The scenarios are split into two broad categories: Refights and Battles. Relights are based on a situation that occurred in a battle in the Warhammer 40,000 universe and offer you a chance to relight the battle using your own army. The Battles scenarios are more generic, and are designed to recreate situations that occur again and again on the battlefields of the 41 st millennium (or any other millennium, for that matter!).

Some of the scenarios use special rules for things like fortifications, morale and so on. All the scenario special rules can be found grouped together in their own section.

Picking a scenario can be a bit of a bind sometimes so we've laid out the scenarios in a table format below which lets you generate one randomly. This isn't the only way to pick a scenario — it's far better to decide on a fun-sounding one with your opponent or start a mini-campaign by playing each one in turn, but you can always just roll randomly to decide if you like.
