User blog:Plaguenumber3/Looking to make IG Colab

Alright Title sums up the basic idea fairly well

I've been here a bit and seen more than my fair share of CSM, SM, and even OC Xeno Colabs come and go...

yet I have yet to see the Imperial guard in any prominent way featured in any Colab. Thus i think it's time that one was started,

Basic Rules

on the Imperial side

obviously the IG will be more of the star imperials this time as such

1) no more than 1 SM chapter per every 2~3 factions/4~7 named Regiments of IG

2) IG will be inserting troops in a cannon fasion, AKA no "all the" or "a bunch of" IG _______, instead we are going with The _____ 365th Line Infantry The ____ 78th Drop Regiment ect.

3) Obviously we will need to determine a Lord General Militant, or even a Lord Commander (see http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_Guard#Imperial_Guard_Rank_Hierarchy for details of the rank) This we can determine unitedly after the IG participants are decided

On the opposition side

1) first determining the best enemy force is imperitive. should The Imperial Guard face the twisted mass of Chaos? or hold off the evils of Xenos?

2) setting a balance, as with any real success hitting a good balance should be important. flooding the enlistmant with CSM, Necrons and various other overpowered forces (admit it someone is thinking of doing it, PS by overpowered i mean the typical we have 30,000 CSM) would kill this just as it would by making this all about the SM and flooding it with forces we all wish were unbeatable.

ok ranted on 2 in summery, got a faction you think can take and give out a good beating sign em up here

3) This applies to both but slightly more to the opposition, the goal. While the Imperium's leadership would be willing ot sacrifice a entire fleet to deny the enemy access to a toothpick of doom, what reason do our baddies have to join this fight?

On the Meta side,

1) writer rules, while i don't have immediate ideas in this regard i can easily say that establishing some loose rules would be good for keeping the entire thing from falling appart.
