Paint.net, edit.
I stole the ui off the rogue trader game, modified it a little and used some layer blending and an old fan made map of Armageddon. Drew up some layer lines once I’d placed all the factions and made it easily updateable for conquest regions via a transparent layer, so really I just have to type a few words, update the strategic points and use the colour picker tool then paste on a factions currently controlled zone.
Crusades neat, but it suffers from 2 things. Too much progression, and core 10th Ed balance being stacked towards excessive amounts of lethality only countered by as many 4++ and overlayed fnp as you can.

This was some cool scenario where the chaos gate had 4 markers around it and fried synapse nids were emerging out of the portal attacking everything nearby.

Narratively I figured a lone hive ship got swept towards Armageddon towards warp storms, got messed up and destroyed but not before depositing an invasion payload. Hive ship death killed most of the forces on the planet and now there is just a few synapse capable left.

The coolest part about all of this is my buddy and I are going to re-enact this in bfg. And even if I win the planetary invasion scenario he’s going to get 500p of reinforcements to ensure the death of the hive. Should be sick, I expect lots of low orbit scrums.
