Epic

Epic is a collective term for a series of tabletop wargames by Games Workshop set in their fictional Warhammer 40,000 universe. Whereas Warhammer 40,000 involves small battles between forces of a few squads of troops and two or three vehicles, Epic features battles between armies consisting of hundreds of soldiers, dozens of tanks, and giant war machines. Due to the larger size of the battles, and particularly the involvement of the Titan war machines, Epic miniatures conform to a smaller scale than those in Warhammer 40,000. It is roughly one quarter, with a typical human being represented with a 6mm high figure, as opposed to the 'heroic' 28mm miniature used in Warhammer 40,000.
