An Introduction...
Welcome to EPIC: SIEGE, an unofficial supplement for Epic. Contained in the following pages you will find the history of the war
known as the ‘Mossinian Campaign’, as well as the background and rules for the armies that were involved in the war.
The major players in the war for the continent of Mossino are the rebellious citizens of the area and the famous Imperial Guard Regiment sent
to pacify them, the Death Korps of Krieg. Also included is an army list for a Space Marine Chapter that was tangentially involved in the conflict,
the White Scars.
As well as army lists, you will also find scenarios that recreate some of the major battles and events of the siege. These scenarios are not
designed as balanced match-ups between two equal forces, but as recreations of the events found in the tale of the war for Mossino. The objective
for the players is not always to ‘win’ in the manner normally associated with tabletop wargaming, but to participate in the war yourself, to tell
the story of the Mossino Campaign as a visceral experience right before your eyes (oh all right, sometimes it can be cool to pull off a victory
against the intention of the designer and your opponent combined… that’s one of the reasons why re-creating famous historical battles is such a
popular pastime for many wargamers!).
To go into greater detail:
- The Mossinian Rebels army list is essentially a defensive-biased Siege army list, which makes use of several Out Of Production models from
previous versions of Epic in order to ‘de-tech’ it.
- The White Scars army list has been slightly modified from its originally published form.
- The Death Korps of Krieg army list has been designed as a higher-tech siege list, more focused towards offensive warfare than the
Mossinian Rebels.
