Although I think it is a great concept that would ultimately work in to achieve a greater balance amongst unit point values in the game, it has a few major hurdles I can see:

1) People spend a LOT of money buying models and a LOT of time and effort painting them up. While there is definitely a small percentage of tournament players that are willing to constantly buy & paint new models/units to be on the cutting edge of rules changes, the vast majority of tournament players don't have the $ or time (or a combination of the two) to do this.

OTOH this way eventually there would settle lot more stable and players wouldn't be at the mercy of GW changing meta randomly forcing new purchaces and paintings...

GW has motivation to force players to buy and paint new all the time.

Players less so.
