Hello, I'm new to the site and my mates and I getting into Epic (As of now we have delusions of playing 10,000 point games in the future... it is 'epic' after all ).

I had one question about organizing formations which I could not find the answer to in the rule book. What are the rules for organizing troops into formations? All that it says in the book is that troops are organized into formations etc. When do you organize your troops? during army creation? (if that is the case some formations are rather small and would be suppressed for the whole game.) Or can you organized formations however you see fit? That does not seem right either... Am I missing something?

Thanks for the help.

The army lists are in section 6 of the rulebook. They detail the composition of formations and many points each costs. They are used for "tournament games". Essentially, you and your opponent agree to a point cost, make your armies, and setup the game as per section 6.

There's also the option of scenario play, where you can pit whatever forces you like against each other. Although those can be hard to balance.
