So weekend after next I'm hosting a day of gaming.
Current plan is to have two games during the afternoon and then a big one after tea.

Currently there are 5 - 7players.
David - IG
Paul - primary Crimson Fists with possible inquisition based allies.
Gav - Tau.
Lester - Eldar or wolves.
Me - undecided though only have baddies.
Chris - Maybe - has a single unit of sister.
Dan B - maybe - has Dark Angels and eldar.

Now my problem is that normally I have hundreds of ideas, right now all I have is uncertainty about teams (I also want them to make sense I am a little OCD about Unfluffy combinations) and a vague Idea that the games will be on a planet that gets closer to the systems sun and lots of fire occurs (Hence the name).

So anyone got any bright Ideas I could pinch and manipulate?

Well Dark Angels can swing both ways. ...same with Tau and Eldar. IG and Sisters should be teamed together and probably Fists and Wolves but sometimes Wolves will take up odd fights so there's a little flexibility.

As for the warzone, you should definitely check out the FW:Horus Heresy (Book 4) Conquest Campaign system... you can create warzones that totally follow your backstory. Check my blog for more info if you're interested.

But you could do something like: On the sun scorched planet of Eseark, all weapons with the Gets Hot rule overheat on a roll of 5 and 6, additionally flamer weapons have the Soul Blaze rule (and/or Torrent if you really want to big).

I like the soul blaze idea and additional gets hot. Think I'm going with Dark Eldar, so we'll look at Xenos Vs Imps.
Will check your blog tomorrow as about to start the game of Exalted.

Currently pondering cross overs in the afternoon on the two tables. Events on one table being able to affect the other.
Obvious ones are artillery strikes or orbital strikes being called in.
Would like something with a bit more intrest though.
Normally I'm brimming with ideas but just struggling to get past the vague plans.
