Premise: The top of a Leviathan/massive crawler where the board represents the top of it. Jump/Assult troops trying to gain entry amoungst defence turrets with defenders sallying out, all against a time limit. Think Death Star rounding the moon for the kill shot on Yavin 4 type deadline! Of course that is only the way in, the bridge/generator would need to be destroyed as well.

I came up with this one way back in rogue trader days and actually drew it out on a 1" grid on white card to use as floor plans, never came to fruition though.

I had an idea at one point to do a board in 2 x 6 'slices'. I made a lost of several slices with the idea that while they wouldn't be perfectly geomorphic, there'd be several options.

Slices as follows:
City
City morphing to plains
plains
plans with river to desert
desert
desert to city

or something like that. The idea is that I could then add in additional 'city' tiles as needed.

Another idea was to find a box of some sort of flooring tiles roughly 1 foot square. make a template for some guide, but each tile should have half a roadway (and sidewalk) on two edges, with the rest of the tile being a building or othe 'feature'. If a big group of friends got into a specific game, farm out a tile to everyone to make terrain-building easier.

Of course, for Heavy gear Blitz n-scale model train buildings are just about in scale, so I've ordered some of them.

I'd like to see at set up that has two tables: one representing a section of the interior of an Imperium vessel and the other the interior of a Chaos/Xenos ship. The idea is to create bridges between them and play out boarding actions. It'd be a cool project to get going with a group of friends if anybody had a large enough basement to set them up. It'd also be cool if each guy made his own faction's ship. The possibilities!

My game board is very much a work in progress, but the theme is an abandoned Imperial city which is being overgrown by jungle. I have a couple of 2' x 4' boards with a third planned, they dont have much on them as I want all the terrain to be re-movable. The buildings are the Cities of Death ones and I am using aquarium plants glued to old CD's for stands of jungle plants. I work for a printing company so have pinched a lot of old cogs and chains to use as abandoned equipment.

Going off-topic for a moment: I love that avatar, what is it from?

Heavily industrialised island chain, with bridges connecting them. Several mining facilities and other bitz on them. Could be for any race really ('cept maybe Dark Eldar).
