AGREED!

I think that vehicles should be EXTREMELY expensive and limited (as in 1-2 per game), albeit powerful units

Space Marine flyers are shaped for the greatest possible air resistance so that the air may never defeat the SPACE MARINES!
Sternguard though, those guys are all about kicking ass. They'd chew bubble gum as well, but bubble gum is heretical. Only tau chew gum

The game should be similar to Necromunda in that you can purchase gear for your fighters between missions.

Rules summery: (also available in Leather at an exorbitant price)
Introduction
Welcome to [unnamed game], the tabletop skirmish game that puts you in control of your very own band of infantry, tanks and aircraft, battling for survival across a scarred and broken world. Choose from up to five factions, such as the fanatical and vindictive trade consortium, who always demand the ultimate price. Forget about peace; forget about fancy objectives. The only objective left is to kill your foes, and the total and utter desolation of your opponents. This is war!

Things you will need
Some d100s
Head on a Stick™ turn counters
Live ammunition
Ketchup
Cookies
Something sharp for drawing blood.
A fully trained Mechanic


Getting Started
The game uses percentiles; many decisions are made using d100s (hundred sided dice). Some stats such as initiative are random. D20s and computers are not allowed. Before you start the game it's important that all players salute the owner of the gaming establishment, and offer up a blood sacrifice. This is to ensure that only the hardcore can play the game (hardcore haemophiliacs may use ketchup). In return all players will be given a cookie.

Choosing your force
In order to play the game, you must choose your forces. Your force will be comprised mostly of infantry, but there are also rare and powerful vehicles, such as tanks and aircraft, which you will be able to add to your forces. Because of their scarcity and power, vehicles are usually limited to 1-2 per side.

Choosing allies
Sometimes, factions join together to fight for a common goal. To represent this you may have troops from other factions join your force. However, while outside help can be beneficial, other factions are not be trusted! You might inadvertently invite spies and saboteurs into your midst. To represent this, you must pay an allies penalty, which will be described later (hopefully).

Placing Terrain
Players are encouraged to make their own terrain, and place it on the battlefield (presumably to use as cover).

Taking Turns
To make the game more fair and engaging, the game uses an alternating activation structure, where players take it in turns to activate one unit at a time (rather than their entire force). After a unit has been activated you can place a Head on a Stick™ turn counter next to it to show that it has moved.

Shooting
This game emphasises shooting over other forms of combat. In order to shoot, follow these steps:

¬Draw line of sight
This game uses line of sight for some stuff. Line of sight is drawn using “true line of sight” and based on what the miniature itself would actually be able to see, if it had eyes and stuff (it's really subjective).

¬Taking Shots
If you have line of sight (and possibly if you don't), then you may command your fully trained mechanic to shoot d100s at the target, using various handguns. If you can't find a mechanic or handguns are illegal in your country, then we suggest you roll the d100 and shout “bang!”.

¬Modifying Dice Rolls
If the target is obscured by cover, then any “To Hit” rolls must be modified. The game always works this way, and never uses cover saves, as that wouldn't make any sense.

Setting Overwatch
In this game you can set overwatch, which means you probably get to shoot at stuff when it isn't your turn.

Using Magic
You can't use magic in this game. Magic is heresy!

Ending the Game
Once the total and utter desolation of your opponents has been achieved, it is mandatory that you shake hands with all other players, unless they are gross (which they probably are).

But only of, by "everywhere", you mean the internet and select wargame stores. Which will be cancelled in favour of moar online sales.

One terrain kit for this game will consist of an empty Dr Pepper bottle and the cardboard box in which it is contained. The kit will construct the "Medicae Pepperus" which gives FnP(4+) to anyone in base contact with it.

Each player must provide a small snacking item to be given to the opponent for each unit in play that is removed.

Some people find the idea that other people can be happy offensive, and will prefer causing harm to self improvement.
