Great system. Sounds like it could apply to patrol clash/missions to make it more entertaining.

Nice idea but with the advent of 5th it could use some tweaking...I think Broadsides (not crisis suits) Talos Defilers Sentinels and Deff Dreads should all be allowed in as well. And probably vary the points...like up it to 150 or 200 cause some dreads COME at a price tag of 125 already...and i think a furioso librarian would be pretty awesome...

also, iirc carnifexes don't fit in the 120 pt limit anymore...

I like it, kind of like Necromunda but with a monster!
Even better if you could get veteran abilities, like parry, increased WS, you could win money and buy upgrades for dreads / benefit from the battle hormones and grow new stuff for fex etc

That way you could have a supreme Van Saar veteran dread like Ironclad with twinlinked autocannons, underslung MM on DCCW etc.

Campaign style rather than single battle etc.

im liking it... for small time players this is also a very nice game to play

Sounds good. Perhaps a 150pt limit?

I like it. Gotta try it out some time.
