Warhammer 40,000: Apocalypse is a game of cataclysmic warfare that sees vast armies arrayed against one another. Each army can comprise many hundreds of models, from entire companies of infantry and tanks to Knightly households. To triumph, you must unleash your full fury upon your enemies in glorious battle!
Before an Apocalypse battle, each player creates their own custom deck of Command Assets that they can utilise during the game. These vary from devastating psychic powers that can rain eldritch fire upon your enemies to orders from high command that can give you the tactical edge in battle.
Taking part in massive Apocalypse battles with two or more players on each side is a great way to spend time with your friends and fellow hobbyists. Many of the Factions within the game make for natural allies, and players can pool their collections together to make even larger armies!
Towering Titans and lumbering super-heavy vehicles are commonplace within Apocalypse armies as players unleash their largest and most powerful units to achieve victory. If you’ve ever wanted to unleash the full fury of a Warlord Titan, Exalted Greater Daemon or an entire squadron of super-heavy tanks, then an Apocalypse battlefield is the perfect place!
The innovative rules for Warhammer 40,000: Apocalypse enable you to play massive battles to completion in a matter of hours. Alternating activations also ensure that there is little downtime for players, maintaining fast-paced and exciting action throughout.
At the heart of the Warhammer 40,000: Apocalypse set is the Field Manual, which includes the full game rules and six missions to play. There are also 300 different Command Assets cards from which players can muster their decks, and sheets of handy, pop-out card tokens for use during gameplay.
The 120-page Field Manual is your complete guide to playing games of Warhammer 40,000: Apocalypse, from how to muster an army to the bespoke Faction abilities your Detachments can benefit from. The Field Manual also includes six different missions and even a mission generator to help you create your own!

The Warhammer 40,000: Apocalypse set includes a whopping six sheets of double-sided, punchboard tokens to help keep track of the orders assigned to each Detachment as well as other in-game effects such as blast markers and damage tokens.
The set includes a total of 24 game dice – 12x D6 (six-sided dice) and 12x D12 (twelve-sided dice). By utilising the two different dice, Apocalypse maintains its fast and fluid gameplay, all the while providing the extra layer of granularity that their respective odds offer.
Using your deck of Command Assets is one of the most interactive and thematic aspects of playing a game of Apocalypse. Many of the 300 Command Asset cards included in the set are tailored to one of the 41st Millennium’s warring Factions, enabling you to customise your strategies according to your choice of army.
Aside from a set of Warhammer 40,000: Apocalypse and a suitably grand army, all you need is a willing opponent! However, if your army comprises lots of infantry that will need shifting around the battlefield, you can also grab some Apocalypse movement trays to speed the process up!
