D and D 40k style


This is a though on my mind a 40k world designed for D and D I believe. A idea of this exists brought out by fantasy flight and that's great but I've been thinking about this a lot  and how can such a thing work for 40k and what is the issue for us and are very much more visual presentation built world of 40k. How can we translate into this new world where a marine is worth a 1000 men and is a living tank a inquisitor is not just a squishy man but a God able to rule over everything to the captain of a skyscraper in space able to obliterate a planet in one hit all this and more exists but how are we to interact and work this this universe with are miniatures and do it justice while having freedom?

It's a area I often ponder and imagine the expanse and excitement of a 40k universe it is this universe that keeps me coming back and spending money on the game because I've fallen in love with the grim dark I want to live gaunts ghosts or as a space marine but in their almost immortal nature in 40k models get blasted off the table so quickly and with such ferocity that some of the character of the grim dark can get lost and while that's fine its a element I want to see more of in the game more heroics more defining all odds and I want to be the one doing at least in my head.

So how can we go about making that a reality well the one idea of currently have is making the marines you play with more powerful just ramp up their stats till they can play this way so one marine in the game is the equivalent of 10 and see if simply ramping up wounds would be enough or weather more needs to be done to make these hero's embodied on the field of battle its a idea I'm toying around with and I hope to  flesh it out more as I develop this blog the more I wrote about this area the more I feel like writing custom rules is something I'd like to do to give more back to the hobbie I'm no writer or painter but maby I can give you more to work with when playing your grim dark.

What I also like about this focus is theirs more time to paint a single mini and more time to focus on making said mini unique something I like to see I love those budget snap fits but I love some crazzy missed unique poses more because they make a army your own.

My finial issue is maps and boards and terain I love the terain from infinity namely the paper terain and I hope also I'm the future to work on using such a set up to facilitate the story telling and importantly retain the visual that we so enjoy sadly like many things such a set up is pricy but I wonder if we can make it work if I figure out anything you guys will be the first to know I think theirs a market for paper terain or printed terain its something I'm looking for and at.

Anyway let me know what you think and happy wargaming!
