Eldar Corsairs doing their usual bullshit around asteroids. Credit: Boon. Building these items is rather easy. However, small styrofoam balls that have been cut up, gouged, and painted create a wonderful looking asteroid field. If you want to go 3D on your gas clouds, cotton stretched out and spray painted in whatever color you want makes fantastic nebula effects. If you wanted, you could put together everything you need for a fully prepared board in only a few hours and a trip to the store.
The relative simplicity also makes a board easier to spice up if you wanted to add lighting effects! Here again you have a number of options, depending on how much effort or money you want to throw at the problem. At its most basic, every marker in the game can be as simple as printed paper template cutouts. Multiple pdf files exist that can be used for this exact purpose. For more immersive markers, Shapeways is again an excellent resource. Most of the markers can be found in print out versions found here.
Similar to the fleets, you can also find more durable and fun 3D markers at Shapeways. Cool blast marker from Shapeways. Other game supplies such as metric measuring tapes, or six-sided dice may be commonly found at any hobby store or your local FLGS. However, scatter dice are now defunct in most GW games.
Find someone who likes cool broadsides and pew pew noises and finagle them into a game with you. It also in many ways laid the groundwork for a lot of the story that would follow in the millennia since. In telling the story of the opening moves of the war, the Hand of Darkness and Eye of Night would be introduced, relics which would go on to be important not just in the war, but later at the close of M41 as the 13th Black Crusade kicked off or as Roboute Guilliman seeks to close the Great Rift.
Perhaps more important than the relics, the fabled Blackstone Fortresses were introduced — massive alien structures of unknown origins that would prove to be the doom of Cadia and the Cadian Gate. The Gothic War officially kicked off in M41 with a bevy of Warp Storms that isolated the Gothic Sector and cut it off from neighboring Imperial reinforcements. Abbadon led his vast fleets against the unprepared repair and resupply points of Battlefleet Gothic, commanded by Lord Admiral Ravensburg.
Underpinning the defense strategy of the Gothic Sector and anchoring six of its seventeen naval bases were six Blackstone Fortresses.
All of these massive structures had been retrofitted by the Imperial Navy to serve as anchorages and bases of operation. These massive installations were never fully operable for the Imperium, but their core fed enough energy to facilitate operations and defenses that rivaled the strongest Imperial ports — they had never fallen to enemy forces.
That changed abruptly when the first Blackstone Fortress Blackstone IV would fall to Chaos in the Rebo system — as the Chaos fleet closed, the core that powered the Imperial defenses abruptly shut down allowing the forces of Chaos to overwhelm the defenders and swiftly overrun the ancient relic. By M41 the Imperium was reeling, with system after system surrendering to Chaos rather than face destruction from the Planet Killer.
It would not be long before the captured Blackstone would surface again — fully powered up, the fortress now under Chaos control would be used to capture a second Blackstone VI and soon after, a third Blackstone I.
Through the next five years to M41 the Imperium would struggle to hold onto its territory, fighting to keep its remaining fleet fit to fight, push back the advancing Chaos fleets, and defend itself against the incursions of Ork, Human, and Eldar raiders and pirates that harried the shipping and supply lanes.
M41, Lord Admiral Ravensburg had concluded that his only course was to bring the widely spread and rampaging Chaos fleets to a pitched battle where the Lord Admiral could muster the full strength of the Battlefleet for a single decisive action — at great risk of leaving the stretched lines of his sector undefended.
He finally received his opportunity in M41 when an abnormally large Chaos fleet was detected en route to the Gethsemane system. What ensued was a trap that the forces of Chaos had laid but failed to successfully spring and a weeks long game of cat and mouse. The Chaos forces, despite their superior numbers and firepower, avoided a pitched engagement and instead sought to maneuver for escape — knowing that the Lord Admiral could not win if he could not bring the fleet to battle.
After three weeks of moves and counter-moves, the Imperial fleet forced a head-on engagement and launched a devastating opening salvo. Game requires Internet connection for play and progression.

Originally posted by Ashardalon :. For something that's a 4x try Sword of the Stars. It has similar real time 2d battles, no points, you have to build fleets yourself on the turn base galaxy map. Try Star Wars: Empire at War. It's an older title, but the space combat is pretty good. There are also mods that update the game's visuals to a more modern standard. Unfortunately the ground battles are long, boring, slogfests.
