Warhammer Panic would actually be pretty awesome. Just have to decide if its themed around Orks or Tyranids.

A 40k siege/ tower defense game could be a lot of fun. "Last stand at Grimdark Pass" or some such silly title, snap fit marine heroes since nobody else can be heroic enough to pull off a game like this, some cardboard tokens for whatever horde- like army they're fighting off.
Done.
You're welcome GW.
[I like Tower Defense games. Castle Panic as well.]
I'd also give Munchkin 40k a try. I've enjoyed playing Munchkin with kids... not so much with older people.

A tower defense game ought to be done as a planetary defense game, using BFG ships defending a planet from a Tyranid hive fleet.

And you think the Empire controls the galaxy with 30 ISDs? Come on...
One of the many things I like about the 40k lore is that many nominally Imperial worlds will only get a visit once a generation or every 5-10 years at the most.
Really the scale of a galaxy is so vast that even if you had 100 million ships "doing the rounds" each ship would have about 2500 star systems to manage
30 is preposterous

Any word on what happened to Ninja Division's new Relic Knights?

Has there been any talk at GENCON about those figures for the kids from that 40K kid game/ books yet?
All I have is some guy over in the shop spouting off at the hole so far. 
And also, an apology for the derailing, it wasn't my intent.
I think another good question would be to ask where I could get some of those larger BattleTech mechs from that floor game. If I see correctly, those guys seem to be about 6 to 8 inches tall... Color me interested!

At Games Workshop, we believe that how you behave does matter. We believe this so strongly that we have written it down in the Games Workshop Book. There is a section in the book where we talk about the values we expect all staff to demonstrate in their working lives. These values are Lawyers, Guns and Money. |

Sounds like the Heroclix style Battletech figures (Mechwarrior Miniatures). They were to that scale, but all in the Dark Age style.

You might also look for the out of print Exosquad Robotechs- they've got a Rifleman, Longbow, Archer and Warhammer at the 7" scale, although they are toys and not miniatures. Technically there's also an 11" Marauder, but it's very expensive.

The Super Star Destroyer is not to scale though.  Someone had to make that comment.  I like it. I don't play Xwing since nobody plays but that is a nice mini. Anyone know of cost?

It’s for Armada, not X-Wing.
But yes it is still out of scale, as all Armada ships are.

I know the sliding scale is a necessary compromise for playability but it really stands out with the SSD next to the regular ISD. In a way its worse than with the oversized Blockade runner(or undersized ISD) because the two Star Destroyers have the same bridge design. That aside its a very cool model.
