Warhammer 40k

A community dedicated to the universe of Warhammer 40k, a tabletop setting in the far, distant future.

This is a general community for 40k miniatures, art, lore discussion, and gameplay discussion.

Rules

  1. Keep it civil.
  2. No memeposts/shitposts. Memes are great but direct them to grimdank.
  3. Please mark any posts containing realistic nudity or realistic excessive gore/violence as NSFW; this rule mainly applies to cosplay and realistic drawings rather than miniatures. Being that 40k is inherently violent, this is a judgement call, and mods may occasionally request posters add tags.
  4. No contemporary politics, no political debates. This is a space to enjoy the hobby and get away from the doomscrolling.

I'm new to 40K and want to try playing with my group of friends.

From my understanding, 40K is primarily played as a 1v1 or maybe 2v2 game. I was wondering whether there were rules (official or community-made) for running 3- or 4-player free-for-all games.

It seems like it would mostly work within the rules, but I'm not sure how Command Points and the Fight Phase would work with more than 2 players.

My interest in being free-for-all vs two-headed-giant is the element of strategy and politics it brings (like Commander in Magic: the Gathering)

Thoughts are appreciated!

You might want to find White Dwarf 506, it has a bunch of rules for free for all.
