Its just a thought, but I had the idea of a new RTS sort of game involving 'your' hivefleet. You start as just a sort of 'meteor' that has hit a planet and contains a Norn Queen. At the beginning of the game, you start with this, which is like your base, and a Genestealer. From there you go and scout a human/Eldar/Tau/Ork settlment, and either infect of slaughter the populace. This allows you more gentic material, which you bring back to your Queen. She then gives you more troops like Gaunts, Warriors, Rippers etc. Which allows you to 'zoom out' and conquer the continent your on, say, whilst buying more and more specialized troops, like Tyrants, Carnifexes, Tyrranofexes, and allowing you to get upgrades like wings. Eventually, you coquer the planet, but the game doesn't stop there. Then you can get those weird space hives, and conquer the local planets, then the star system, and eventually you can zoom right out to a galactic scale. What do you think?
