I have always wanted to play a "come one, come all, Battle Royale" game. So this scenario can have ANY number of players bringing a "Team", rather than an Army. We will require enough Tokens of each Team for every other Team to have one. - Teams:
- 500 point maximum
- Team consists of 1 Independent Character joined to 1 unit (taken from any FO slot) which the character could normally join
- No units with an AV (i.e. No Vehicles)
- No Monstrous Creatures or Flying Monstrous Creatures
- No Armor Saves better than 3+
- The Battlefield:
- All Teams setup as equidistant from each other as possible in 4" x 8" Deployment Zones
- Terrain is setup as normal
- No Primary Objectives
- Deployment: All Teams set up simultaneously
- Game Length: Game lasts until Victory Condition is met
- Victory Conditions: There is one Victory Condition = Be the last one standing. Game continues until only models from 1 Team are left on the table
- Mission Special Rules
- Night Fighting
- Simultaneous Play: Game Turns are split into Phases in which each Team rolls for turn order. Game turn goes as follows: Roll for Movement order; take turns moving Teams; roll for Shooting order; hide-then-show Token of any unit to be targeted; take turns shooting (even if killed this Phase, a unit can still fire); Roll for Assault order; hide-then-show Token of any unit to be charged; take turns charging (if units are charging each other, meet halfway and give Assault Bonuses to both Teams); fight assaults as normal
- Shrinking Battlefield: Starting Turn 4, the board shrinks in 1 direction by 12" if that 12" section has no models in it. If there are multiple 12"-sections with no models, choose randomly
In case anyone is wondering, Shrinking Battlefield is to prevent Teams from hiding or running away the whole game. |

I'd be down for that! Sounds fun!
Although if a section has units in it when the go off-line... perhaps a barrage or similar "storm effect" damages the unit if they stay in the "dangerzone".
Just incentivizing emptying portions of the board...

>great concept. only problem i'd have with it is i'd be limited to a Warrior Prime with a warrior brood. any other "special characters" i have are by necessity monstrous creatures. and a Prime isn't really a special character either, but it's the best idea i have. i like the shrinking battlefield, but how to explain it? incoming exterminatus measures, perhaps? that sounds kinda cool. i have PLENTY of tokens made and painted - fanged vaginas, as Servo termed them many years ago.<

This sounds like an awesome idea! Count me in. So uhhh...you know bikes don't have an AV value, right?

@sil: Yah but then you have only one big squad... Well you can separate the warboss but still thems some pricey units... Servo: Also is it HQ slots and all other units not tanks? Or Separate hqs, because for the most part guard Hqs come as a unit if your doing serious business... I mean Yarrick in a 500 point game... Yikes! Any take on special characters? Just list building... and ran into questions... |

Bikes have no AV, so they are fine. @sil: Yah but then you have only one big squad... Well you can separate the warboss but still thems some pricey units... You can only have 1 squad, and you cannot separate the Warboss out. As it says in the TEAMS section, they must be joined. Special Characters are fine for now, unless they start to "run the board" too much, then we might have to disallow them. I do not understand anything else you wrote there, so I cannot comment. |

Yah... this might be another one where IG are out... but on the other hand could be just crazy enough to be fun! I mean thats 76 bodies per squad... at a max... so realistically 50ish... sounds crazy as assault spells doom!
I am down! Course this means more painting... and just when I thought my troops were nearly done...
