<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Looking for campaign suggestions."]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Looking for campaign suggestions.
Recently a friend of mine dropped a Planetary Empires box in my lap, still in box and on the sprue too! So I got to thinking about maybe having a campaign with some friends, however I am not really sure what the best way to go about it is.

So in the plus side I have the following.

-Planetary Empires
- IA books 4 through to 11 (for ideas and inspiration), as well as Crusade of Fire
-Lots of terrain and space to leave things set up if need be
-A good group who would be open to the idea

Now some of the challenges.

I am married. So while my wife is very supportive of me playing War Dollies with my friends, there are limits to how often.
I also go to sea for a living; working a month on and a month off... so... I can't spend too much time into 40k.

So what suggestions can anyone make? I just like the idea of a "short" and fun campaign to create a bit of a narrative backdrop for our games. Your idea's and experience are welcome.

FW Horus Heresy (book 4) Conquest Campaign. Nothing else by gw or fw even comes close. It works for 40k or 30k, not tied to specific armies and really fun.

I did some write ups about it, as I'm obviously a huge fan:

You don't have to play the armies in the book to use the rules, either. I believe that the FW HH Conquest rules that Gunzhard mentioned above is similar.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/692514/8688062.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/692514/8688062.page GMT Looking for campaign suggestions.

They are similar, the Conquest system is the evolution of that already cool campaign. It's totally modular now and very flexible]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/692514/8688065.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/692514/8688065.page GMT Looking for campaign suggestions. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/692514/8688696.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/692514/8688696.page GMT
