What is the best way of going about linking BFG, Epic and 40k campaigns??

Not sure about Epic but usually it goes like this.
Play all the games at the same time (Lets say this is a round) after the first round depending on the winners of the different games the next round each game will have differences e.g. more points for the SM player in 40k if the BFG battle was won by an SM player or maybe an orbital bombardment.
Epic could determine the scenery of 40k e.g. the main battle has moved from a volcanic mountain range to a coastline so the skirmishers need to move to keep up with them.
40k could affect both Epic and BFG by giving anti-titan or anti-ship weapons to the winner.

Not trying to commit necromancy but I have been wondering the same thing and proposing it to my play group. We propose you use a battlefleet gothic campaign with planetary assaults to secure a enemy planet. You fight the planetary assault with a Epic 40k game and the skirmish 40k game will represent an eventual assault on a critical command bunker/structure. My god the hardest part would be getting players with enough models. We should work on the viability of this idea. Have you done any work since you started this thread?

You could use BFG game to decide points in the 40k games. Say that the defenders of a planet have called for aid, but they would have to break through the enemy blockade.

So if the reinforcement ships get a minor victory they can have some more troops and if they win a major victory they can have extra elites, or something like that.

I like the idea of using the small skirmish rules or a modified version of kill teams rules to link games with sabotage missions or assassinations
