The main forces involved so far are the White Scars and Death Guard, but we will also have the Sons of Horus and Imperial Fists as well as several militias, cults, Imperial Armies, etc. The Great Crusade games will feature Orks as the main xenos threat.
I was hoping to have a key part of the campaign take place on a planetary system that has been the setting for our 40k campaign. Same place, vastly different time and circumstances. In our 40k campaign, the Xhorik system was located in the galactic north-center, a bit "north" of Valhalla.
We picked the Legions that we liked best and then were pretty pleased to find out there is a rich history of interaction and relationships between the White Scars, Death Guard, and Sons of Horus, which I was hoping would allow us to tie the campaign into some historical events in the Crusade and Heresy. I haven't read much yet about the Imperial Fists and how they tie in with the other three. But our ultimate aim (after we have a lot more models and terrain painted) is to finish the campaign with the Siege of Terra using all four legions and all of our auxiliary forces.
So if anybody knows the direction of the main approach the Sons of Horus and Death Guard took to Terra, that would help. Or where Chondax is or where Jaghatai dueled with Mortarion. It is really hard to find a map with all of the major points of interest of the Heresy and the major mobilizations shown.
Thanks!
