Proposal: warhammer 30k campaign

Was wondering if the community wants to do a project together for fun.

I was thinking if you guys would be interested to play a campaign in the horus heresy. We could use the book... but since its such a massive war we could stray and create a campaign that happened during the heresy loosely base on an event like Isstvan.

Something like A joint operation on some xenos planet when Isstvan happened and then we fought our own horus heresy. We allow all the players to decide which side they want to fight on during the whole period of the campaign. On the rule side prob add a faction boon table of sorts that allow those who stay loyal on one faction to gain more and those who switch side in the middle of the campaign lose their boons (to avoid frog jumpers).

and end the campaign with a massive mega battle

wht do ya all think?

prob will need
- rule hammers
- fluff writers
- and some terrain builders

The idea sound good. The question is.. where will we be playing.. strictly legio or at HF also can. Why do you need terrain builder for.. legio and HF has plenty of terrain. I dont deny if player can contribute some terrain aswell would be good.

no la if we revolve around some story should have some epic centre piece terrain for the mega battle... like an imperial cathedral

I think gw made one bfr for their 13th crusade mega battle you can fit two armies in there slugging the crap out of each other

where to play? that bit you all should discuss i guess it depends how regulated you want the campaign to be... you could have it just centralized on one spot or many spots and allow players to send records and pics of their games like the EOT world wide campaign.

I guess one of the discussions would be the scope of how controlled you want the campaign to be... My suggestion is the EOT style campaign for normal games and Legio/HF for fluff themed missions

anyway rizal has a painted EC warhound... lol Would love to see that back in action

Great idea and I was actually thinking about starting a pre-heresy/ heresy army, after seeing the FW models.

Campaign.....maybe I cannot join but might join the 'massive mega battle'

Depends how we do the campaign bro if its EOT style we can make the game groups/hobby shops into sectors, and they can play and report the games back to the site.

The only issue is that its a FW army... so I doubt many will join or build huge armies....

Then again we could push for a side competition for any to take the challenge to build a horus heresy with no forgeworld models. To let them test their conversion/sculpting/ability. Ive seen quite a few ingenious ideas on using only gw plastics to build a heresy army, so it can be done.

And get alvin to sponsor a prize

I would love to join. Only thing is my DAs are painted as post-heresy.

Can't commit to the campaign as we need to know the timeline. Like Doc said, I would love to join the apoc battle.

It will require some planning, Maybe first lets see what the rest of the community do if they want to jump on the band wagon.

then get a committee together to help organize it.

I like the ideo of EOT type campaign and having the various communities fight it out in their own sector e.g. Northern Sector, Legio, HF etc. and then linking the various battles to determine the outcome of the campaign.

Am in the process of planning/building a Thousand Sons Pre-Heresy army so this would be great.

White Scar pre heresy for me with Jaghatai Khan leading from the front.

Received the bits I ordered for my Pre-heresy 1K Sons.
