Oh man I'd love to do Kursk, especialy the battle of Provrovka (I think that's how it's spelled) if only I had enough models for the 1500 tanks involved.
Anyway, these might be a little obscure but I'd love to translate them into SM.
From the Crimean War, Balaklava and Inkerman. Balaclave with SM (as the Light Brigade) trying to releave IG forces against mobs of Orks. Inkerman could use any army with lots of inf. figs.
How about the the sieges of Malta or (for the truely epic) Vienna in the 1500s?
A friend and I tried Agincourt (Orks vs SM). Fortunatly it wasn't as lopsided as historicaly, it tranlated into a good game.
