I am honestly not sure where would be a good place to put this, so I figured I would post it here advertising where the game is gonna be run. First off it Probably won't kick off till January 2014, as I must get back from deployment first.

Tallus IV is a massive jungle world with terrible secrets listed in sequence as I had them written down in GM's book. The idea being that there is the opportunity to run Multiple campaigns and stories around this one planet. The eventual hope is for all the different 40k Games to at least sample Tallus at some point. BFG will run planetary defense between the planet and asteroid belt in the system. Necromunda will take place in the Massive Hive city of Oasis (which is far bigger than any existing city but since the planet is about the size of Jupiter its still very small. (Before anyone gets technical the planet is big but mostly hollow as reason will be listed later so mass won't change gravity much.) Small skirmish battles will happen as multiple races have bases there lured there. Dark heresy and rogue trader can happen as the hidden secrets of Tallus are put out there. Finally cityscape and apocalypse battles will rise up in hidden parts of the world before being hidden away.

The underlying idea is this a tyranid run world with a more cunning purpose. Rather than sucking the world dry and leaving it, a genestealer enclave who had been working towards subverting the government (making it easier for nids to invade) actually succeeded in pulling off a coup. The Planetary governor is now the Patriach. As the planet was mostly considered a resort world for the wealthy and powerful genestealers were able to infect people heading to and from planet all over the galaxy. Sensing a unique opportunity the hive mind showed a cunning previously unthought of as it culls the resort infecting people from all walks of life and sending them out. People who won't be missed are either pitted against new bioforms or simply harvested for biomass. The revenue from the resort is being used to lure more groups to come or to bolster an army it wished to face (allowing it to evolve more quickly). it has also been cultivating the strange and varied creatures that reside on the planet speeding up their own evolution and making them more aggressive allowing it to pit current tyranid forces against them and to gather new evolutionary genetics far quicker. (I won't lie it also allows me to throw in Arachnids from starship troopers among other things that could be fun to throw in an RPG or to allow people to have custom armies.)

The next wicked thought it had was partially by chance, the planet a mostly hollow world as the molten core had been dying, taking biomass from the constantly replenished jungle they slowly were able to rebuild hive ships of lost fleets allowing the fragmented splinters of other fleets to work their way back to tallus(which incidentally is where space hulk would be coming in.)




So I am prepared for the torrent of hate, but I think its a fun idea to have a place with a lot going on and a possible affect on the story that would affect the shop.
