The premise was simple - bring a couple of squads, push them round a board a bit, have some fun! Because wargames need a bit of an objective, ours was a hulking wrecked Baneblade in the centre of the table. The Imperials (Squats, Space Marines and later Imperial Guard) were protecting the Baneblade from Riot - a loose group of temporarily aligned no-gooders (looting human mercenaries, Eldar and Zoats). When units died, they were recycled. The objective was simply to occupy the Baneblade for longer than the opponents (more wounds within the footprint for a turn).
