By W. Lawrence Sturtevant

While we have worked on the fictional struggles

within the 40K Universe for the past year, one of our

own creative team has been engaged in a real battle

against testicular cancer. This publication is

dedicated to Erik 'Scarik' McGrath and his ongoing

fight. Be a real man, get educated about your own

health, and get your ÒboyzÓ checked out.

Tremendous thanks to Randy Linbourn who acted as our in-house

artist and made many pieces of wonderful art upon request. And

this man actually does not consider himself to be an artist! It is

an honor to feature so many of his pieces here together.

Congratulations to Peter Laycock who not only provided us with

some fantastic works of art but won the Epic: Raiders Artwork

Competition.

Big thanks to Iain ‘Cybershadow’ Werry for hosting us at the

Tactical Command forum. If you are looking to get started in

Epic or expand your existing game, this is the place to go .

Other big thanks go to Warseer and their online publication

Firebase which allowed Raiders to be seen by so many.

We would be remiss in our handing out of lauders if we did not

include the people at Games-Workshop , Specialist Games , and

Forgeworld in our gratitude. After so many years, players often

forget the creative minds that originated the game and take many

things for granted. Thank you Jervis Johnson and Andy Hall at

Fanatic for your efforts, both past and present.

Last but not least, thank you to the numerous Epic players who

helped playtest the Dark Eldar, Minervan, and Necron armies;

generated valuable data for helping shape and balance the lists;

and combed over the publication for us to find the many errors we

missed.

1.0 Introduction

somewhere between the frail Raiders and the massive Torture

Class Cruisers for them to destroy entire regiments of Imperial

forces. The Eldar Empire fell, but no doubt the first worlds the

Dark Kin raided were their former homes, taking with them

weapons and technology with which they were acutely familiar.

Epic: Raiders is an unofficial, fan made supplement designed for

the Epic: Armageddon gaming system. Started in February 2007

by a small group of Epic fanatics, this publication ballooned into

a major undertaking involving almost fifty people, over a

thousand emails, three hard drive crashes, and took literally

hundreds of hours to complete. Our goal was to provide a

professional body of work to Epic players worldwide in order to

encourage the play and expansion of the game. It is designed to

work in conjunction with the Epic: Armageddon and Epic:

Swordwind publications.

Epic: Raiders was created with the goal of having a Games-

Workshop friendly document. We fully support that players

purchase their army units from Specialist Games and from

Forgeworld whenever possible. The Minervan list includes

beautiful units that can be purchased from both of these sites. We

have included two modeling sections that will help you scratch-

build or convert the Necron and Dark Eldar units that cannot be

purchased from these sources. Please read on for more details.

Raiders is an original storyline that takes place on Scarab: a

mining colony world and waypoint for Imperial forces. It

involves the Minervan Armored Legion, the Necrons, and the

Dark Eldar who are pitted against each other in a brief and bloody

struggle. Behind it all is a cunning force that is manipulating

every side against the others for its own gain.

Every attempt was made to have the fiction and army lists

correlate with the existing 40K Universe while providing for a

full and enjoyable Epic playing experience. We fully understand

that fans of 40K and Epic alike (not to mention Games

Workshop) are extremely particular and do not like this fictional

setting ‘polluted’ in any way. The mention of Dark Eldar war

engines or Necron harvesting machines can make one fan wince

in pain while another drools in anticipation. At the same time we

were quick to recognize that there are huge gaps of missing unit

types that simply must be in existence for the 40K setting to have

some cohesion. The Necrons did not wage war against the Old

Ones with Monoliths alone and the existing fictional accounts are

ripe with vague descriptions of horrifying machines and powerful

weapons. Likewise, the Dark Eldar must have vehicles that fall

As a final message to Games Workshop, Epic: Raiders was made

on a shoestring budget with a 100% volunteer force. This

supplement is a small representation of the efforts of the most

loyal fan base a game could possibly have. We will continue to

play (and pay for) Epic as long as you provide for us. In other

words if you produce it, we will buy it. We hope that you will

take this body of work as an indicator that Epic players are

waiting – sometimes not so patiently – for you to create the next

line of models. Thanks again for letting us blow things up in your

universe.
