Especially doing races like the Squats (all but abandoned by GW), Slann
>(according to our fluff) and now the Tau. Its a large project, but I think

Yep, there still is. However, last time we tried this there was a large rift
between those who think the Imperium is too stagnant and the other side.
This will be a tough nut to resolve.

Aside from that, have you thought about where the Slann homeworlds are?

And now a REALLY scary thing. A while ago a couple of us started the Void40k
project, and the first test battle was Viridians vs. IG. That got me
thinking about including the Void nations to 40k universe <evil grin>. That
is, after I've finished that #&X$! graduation thesis I'm still writing.
