1: Actually, I agree with you about the Space marines; normally, I don't like them being so prominent, but perhaps some space marines would be the first ones to detect the incoming Chaos hordes. But I think it should be made clear that most Imperials are NOT Space Marines; personally I don't want to see like three dozen Chapters and two Imperial Guard regiments.

Perhaps the antagonist could be a warlord of Chaos Undivided? Those tend to have the most success in getting others to do what they say. I don't think it should be a Daemon Prince, though; there are plenty of Chaos warlord who are plenty powerful who are not Daemon Princes.

2: 'Casket' works for me. Although, perhaps it could be a mysterious object, ascribed by the locals to be an Imperial relic; that way, they'd fight to defend it, without really knowing what it is. Also, maybe it is a thing that is rumored to lie in many different locations, like a lost treasure, so different invaders will follow different rumors and legends to what they think is the location of it.

3: I'm all for a civilized world, so there can be some variations in terrain, and different sorts of fighting.

4: I think we should leave this open-ended for now. I also think that YOU should decide that: this is your idea, you're running the show.

5: Personally, I'm in favor of the first Geographical Section.

One thing that could be tried: you make an article outlining the war, then let a person who wants their people to join in write an article about their faction's entry; if you like it, mention it in the main article and link to that person's article.

When a person wants to join in, O think they ought to write a short message detailing their people, how they came to be involved, and what part they would take in the war, so hopefully we can avoid people getting tangled up with other people.

Maybe something like this:

DRAGON BROTHERS

Several squads of the Dragon Brothers were dispatched to [world name] to assist in training the [world names]'s PDF; when the Chaos hordes of [warlord or Daemon Prince's name] descended on the world, thy remained attached to the PDF, assisting in mobilizing the world's forces and leading them in secondary tasks, such as guarding supply convoys, evacuating civilians and guarding refugees. As such, the main blow of the Dark Eldar's slaver raids fell on the Dragon Brothers and PDF; the suffered heavy losses from the Eldar raiders, but succeeded in driving away several raiding parties that otherwise would have carried off thousands of people to Cammoragh
