Brief Description Players collect armies of a particular type (Space Marines, Eldar, Orks, Imperial Guard, Squats, Chaos, Tyranids), and use a point system to compose their units for each battle. Forces are composed of ordinary soldiers, vehicles, heavy weapons, and high-powered special characters. Rules allow for ranged and close-combat weapons, explosives, psionics, and a wide variety of army-specific equipment. Intended to be played with the miniatures produced by the publisher.
Period The nightmare future of the forty-first millenium
