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.
