Cool! But Chaos Raptors as "Knights"? Nope. And shouldn't the Librarian's and Sorcerers be Bishops? ARGH!!!! Still though... this makes me wonder if there's a DoW Chees board out there?

haha sorry to be a spoilsport, but the chess board is rotated 90 degrees from what it's supposed to be (there should always be a white square on the bottom right hand corner...); just something I felt I had to point out there.
Still, very good idea, so 9/10 because you made that mistake xD

Cool Idea, 10/10 becuase its so odd.
Good unit placement too; Dreadnaught as Rook, Grey Knight as knights, Space marines as pawns (I always do send them in charging to an early death anyway...), all units are good, but perhaps replace Chaplains with Assault Marines or bikers? Chaplains aren't the fastest unit around....Either way its still 10/10!!!

Ya know, there's a joke in here somewhere about the librarian and sorceror being 'screaming queens'.. lol 9/10.. And I actually have a chess board set up with the miniatures as pieces.. I did space marines and Eldar, but chaos works too.

I really like the unit choices though I wonder

Wouldnt Raptors and Assault Marines be better for knights (the ability to "Jump" over units)

I guess then move the Grey Knights to be Bishops (furous charge explains their range) plus Grey Knights seem like a good counter to the Possesed Marines

Pawn, Rook, King, and Queen are all great calls. Thats what I would have done also

10/10 for one of the best ideas I have seen in a while. (Desires to get a group of chaos and Space marines to make a live chess set like this at home)

actually that is quite an old type of TT, its called "chess" and #13 its just that it looks odd, its nothing that destroys the picture actually.
