The Emperor's Armpit (aka. Arizona)

Would anyone support GW making some plastic 30k board games beside b@c? I just got an idea that might adjust that! Battle of Terra game would be a larger version of battle for vedros. A couple bastions, a catwalk between the 2, 10 tac marines w/ blood angels shoulders and 10 imperial fists w/ shoulder pads all from Forge world would be the defense starter. Sure it might be around $150 but you could create a stoic defense. The attackers would be World Eaters with a leviathan dreadnought, and 20 tacs and shoulder pads would mean utter chaos (pun intended), it would also represent how outnumbered the sons of Dorn and Sanguinis were. Of course you could change the shoulder pads around to create any legion or to add to one, but the loyalist wouldn't be, representing the surprise on Terra and how many legions were late *ultramarines*. The loyalist support box would be Terminators, 10 tacticals both Blood Angels and Fists shoulders. Heretics would be a contemptor, and 10 tacticals with no legion specific pads. Maybe add in some rules and maybe this could be a bestseller, who knows. Another one might be a Silver Tower like game where you have to fight your way through Horus's battle barge. Add in 10 sanguinary guard, 10 breacher marines, a sanguinius, Dorn, 20 bloodletters, and Horus, who knows if Dorn, Horus, or Sanguinius will survive this bloody carnage that the game will provide on The Vengeful Spirit? Hopefully I can get feedback from you guys and push it to GW!

If you want a big planet-wide fight with multiple primarchs, have a look at the actual Horus Heresy board game - Its by Fantasy Flight, and it's a pretty damn good game.

Well technically phalanx warder or templer brethren would be with Dorn on a boarding action....

Doubt a primarch would take normal troops

Seige of terra ... A board game with titans, companies and such to represent the massive scale with primarchs and more.

Have a big board. Say you take a star port traitors get reinforced..
Loyalists have to defend. Palace has like two walls. Outer and eternity gate.

Traitors win if make to gate.
Defenders win if last x turns.

Odds tipped to attacker. ...

Better idea.

FudgeDumper - It could be that you are just so uncomfortable with the idea of your chapters primarch having his way with a docile tyranid spore cyst, that you must deny they have any feelings at all.

Flight of Fantasy has done a board game of the battle for Terra.

It doesn't have citadel miniatures but is a legit game

Check it out!

This kind of ties into what I hope, I don't want rules for the emp, or Horus acended, i want a mini game just for those 2 on the vengful spirit, as any rules they do for the big e will be underpowered.

Emparor will be a primarch dialed to 11...

Physker powers to utter insane degree.
Magnus will be powerful but the big E....

He,s not gonna be weak.
