If only we'd had the club last year, we could have planned a board to match the Space marine game. Could still do it next year, but with the game being a year old don't think it would be as impressive

Thats good idea, also was thinking might be worth considering seeing about doing a battle from one of the novels?
40k- Space marines(5000 pts) Imperial guard (3000 pts) Tau (3000 pts)
Epic 40k-Space marines/Imperial Guard(2000 pts)
Infinity Yu jing (Aprox 1000 pts)
Necromunda Escher Mad capsules Avalanche
Blood bowl Skaven

Was gonna bring that up with you as know you have read a few of the books(only read the first few horus heresy books), so suggestions welcome.

That would be a great project, particularly if it was something we could use as a backdrop to our tables at Gloucester and Salute.

I've only got a far as starting Fulgrim, but the battle on Isstvan III from Galaxy in Flames might be worth considering. If memory serves there are some pretty detailed descriptions of The Choral City in the book.

Yeah thats one of the ones that i was thinking of along with maybe doing the ambush at Istvaan 5 or something from the end of the story thats not in the books yet......like the battle for the Imperial Palace, having the Imperial Fists and Blood Angels holding out against the Traitor forces

well theres some much depth to theme the table to. me personally my favs are the crimson fists getting decimated in numbers vs the orks the ultramarines 1st company getting wiped out by tyranids and tanith first and only (gaunt's ghosts)
but you dont have to use storys they made up since you could make your own scene/battleflied

My favourite board I saw at gamesday was the 'battle for orks teef' a 40k version of the battle at rawkes drift. They had some specially made guardsmen for the British and thousands of orks for the zulu's, really impressive board
