As has already been mentioned, an Ork WAAGH! (re)invading the castellan subsector would be a great idea, and provide many interesting oppurtunities for wargaming scenarios, fluff development etc etc.
I'd like to get this idea off the ground. I have an Imperial Guard army, and I have access to both Ultramarine and deathwing armies. My brother plays Orks, so that isn't a problem either.
A couple of possible plotlines:
*Certain planets in Castellan haven't been responding to communications. It's probably not a problem, what with the re-building taking up all the resources and all the problems that entails, but you never know.....
A small Marine force is sent to 'interrogate' the imperial commander on a certain world and make sure he remembers he's supposed to be keeping up his comms contact. The World has been devestated by an ork waagh of unknown origin, the marines have to escape - the sector must know of the threat!
*Several planets have reported Ork infestations in numbers not seen since the devestation of Castellan. A crusade of purging has been launched, with several worlds already in the Orks clutches and several more needing to be defended. The Orks must be Annihilated from the subsector!
*BFG scenario: Ork vessels are migrating to a nearby world in vast numbers. This absolutely cannont happen, as if just one ship gets through they could infest the whole of Castellan. A small force of Imperial ships must destroy twice it's number of orks. The orks just need to escape! Limited turn number.
Any ideas on how to organise this? I was thinking of appealing to the larger gaming community on the Portent message board who'll be able to report results and provide some interesting fluff.
