So i'll start of by explaining where my idea came from. I was browsing teh forums and saw this (http://40kforums.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=123&t=73099#p1314549) topic and so went into the back of my dex to look up the aforementioned mission. In doing so i noticed the other suggestions of nec orientated missions and one such one caught my eye. The one about a squad of guys advancing into a ghost town where flayed ones stalk over the bodies of their victims and i got to thinking.

I thought that it sounded like a pretty fun mission straight off. And then i thought about expanding it. I thought it could possibly work as a spacehulk-esque game perhaps. With a single squad of individual characters moving into this ghost town to inspect what's happened and look for survivors perhaps. With FOs running around as an "Alien" type of presence, encountered by our squad in small numbers mostly. Perhaps some SSs running round as smaller critters to freak guys out like facehuggers in SoSs Colonial marines game. And also maybe wraiths to act as the larger nastier aliens.

I figured some of the necs special rules (FOs terrifying viasge) and the extra rules mentioned in the back of the necs dex (Robot hunters) could make for fun aspects to the game.

So that's my suggestion. I just wondered what people thought of a game like this. Fraid this topic may be slightly pointless as i really dont think i have anywhere near the ability and probably not really the time to actually run this game so unless someone else decides to run it then it'll just stay here in discusion. But i'd still like to know what people thought of this idea.

Its pretty interesting, very Space Hulk-ish. And someone certainly needs to run these mission type games as a forum game. I'd so totally play it.

So guys i was starting to write up the rules and realised some of my concepts dont fit with SM fluffwise so thought about starting the game with IG being the main characters. eventual plan is to expand it to be playale for multiple races, although ofc not all races could be done hoping to do SM, CSM, Eldar, Tau, Dark eldar. Any thoughts on this? Perhaps each race would have a different setup in game. This is of course only if the game goes well. If it does then maybe i'll run it multiple times or write an article so others can run it.High hopes perhaps but hey who knows.

Tau, with their Fire Warriors, Vespids, Kroot, and Human Auxilaries would be awesome.


Then again, Eldar would be even more awesome.

Hmmmm. Me likey idea. Tau firewarriors as ranged class, kroot as CC, vespid as alt ranged, some stealth guys and human auxilliaries for the non tau weaps etc. Now you've got me thinking drak......

I really have no interest in tau...just to be honest. Call on me for any help, but I might not play :P

Don't worry, I still love you though

You could be a kroot or vespid or human instead? Gonna try incorporate em all in there as different classes.

Could always do a Mercenary band.

Human mercenaries - readily available
kroot - Aduh
Vespid - Easy
Eldar - Rangers
Tau - Some probably dislike the greater good enough.
Orks - Not all orks are brutal idiots
Space Marines - There are non-chaos renegades you know

Etc, Etc :)
