Battles

[Dan11]

is there anywhere on the web where u can find histories of past 40k wars. im thinking of making a diorama involving SM and possibly tyranids/orks and would like to base it around a past encounter

thanks

Are you talking about past WD battle-reports or Warhammer fiction/background ?

You could try doing a few searches of wikipedia or the lexicanum just for the summary of some of the more famous battles

 

[L.E.J.]

on the lexicanum there is basically the old books of the \"index astartes\" which give some good fluff on most SM chapters.
there are also the black library books which are good for that sort of stuff (Warriors of ultramar is a good one for ultramarines Vs tyranids) and if i remember there is a nice section on BoLS website (though i could very well be wrong on that one!)

hope this helps...
