Well how far have you gotten?

I've renamed all the bmps in the Drushock shipset for Nurgle, the Plague-God. The Race-Portrait for the Drushock was freakish in just the right way to be a "Great Unclean One" and some of the Drushock ships have a sort of moldy look that fits Nurgle. So I've made their leader "Ve'Meth" (from the 'Soul Drinker' novel by Ben Counter) and his title is "Daemon-Prince".
I'm giving all 4 of the Chaos leaders the title of Daemon-Prince while keeping the original Chaos Legions by Atraikius to represent the ideology and forces of Chaos Undivided as represented in several of the novels.

Yea, actually I've never played BFG either; I got hooked into this SF universe from the novels, some of which are really good. I did play "Warhammer Fantasy Battles" a long time ago. That led me to the Warhammer fantasy novels and then to the 40K books. I love them; they're deep and dark in a way Star Trek never was and Bab5 only flirted with...

For the Eldar, I'm using the Minbari shipset because there's a strong resemblence. The Min AI looks like it's pretty close to what I want to. (Not really a coincidence; the B5 Minbari and the Warhammer Eldar are both derived from Tolkien's Elves) Their leader is "Eldrad Ulthuan" and his title is Farseer. I'm going to make them Propusion Experts as well as making them the only race with the Lucky ability which I've renamed (what else?) Farseer. I'm going to give them an extremely low birthrate to represent their high level of evolution and to balance off the genius level research they'll have. Also, the low birthrate will represent the whole dying race thing the Eldar in the "Real" 40K universe are dealing with...

Anyhow, this is just some of what I'm doing...
