Can you imagine the S##t-storm such an idea would cause?
Yes. I'm getting Slaaneshi thoughts even now imagining it...
Seriously. It'd be awesome.

I like it, however ATSKNF appears to be sacrosanct with everyone who plays Epic and having anything bar a Marine chapter with it would most likely cause fisticuffs.
Change the name.
Though I like the symmetry, the effect is what matters, and I think it's certainly appropriate. Even if you don't do Skalathrax, I think it's worth throwing that idea into the EC thread sometime.

I do think you are onto something there however. It may just work *goes and writes it down as part of a future project*
As for a nemesis to the World Eaters, I am very much thinking along E&Cs idea of writing up a whole different engagement and 'unrecorded as yet' history for the supplement.
Spoilsport.
Personally, I always find an exciting account of a famous engagement more appealing. But that's me. An obscure engagement is a close second. Making something up always comes a distant third. Epic supplements also kind of cluster around two points - IG/SM variant vs. Other Force and the Modern Day of 40K. Breaking the mold a little'd be nice, IMO.
I think a supplement focused around Skalathrax'd finish off two good/important Chaos lists, draw some attention for its uniqueness, and have a lot of really sweet modelling opportunities available to it (I'd help, if no one else would. Though that may not be a good thing
). It has a lot of potential. Downsides include the fact that it's an old battle and you're kind of horning in a little on official events (although those events are sufficiently detailed that a lot can be deduced/filled in well).

Thanks for the consistent input SK
Hey, I was bored.
Good luck with the decision.
EDIT:
Found your earlier comment re: Hrothqar Furior (or whoever). The BT aren't even close to Codex, but that also looks like it could be interesting. Could do a fairly interesting campaign about the WE quest to unlock the power of the Monolith or something. I like Skalathrax more, but this has some potential as well.
