In an effort to see less cookie cutter lists and people crutching on certain options, how about we make a challenge.
How this works: Challenge a certain army to NOT use 1-2 certain weapons or choices on their list. Basic troops (like an Ork boy) is not a valid choice. Then in turn your opponent can 'ban' 1-2 options from your list as well.
If anyone takes you up on your challenge, have the game IRL or on vassal.
Space Wolves: I challenge you to make a list with no Long Fangs.
Orks: No wagons and/or kans
Tyranids: No Hive Guard
Guard: No Chimeras
I play Tyranids and Orks, so I would be willing to take someone's challenge.

Pretty sure this would be the ultimate challenge for Necrons right here...no Rez Orb.

Thats a pretty cool idea. Can i say no BA? lol. I think if some one went no nemisis/force weps on GK would ruin there army. Still a good idea can make games more interesting an way more challenging.

Going that route, eliminate Destroyers and Wraiths. Enjoy the shots of all the Immortals and Warriors!!!

That was the idea. Too many people don't look past the optimal choices in their lists.
No claws for Orks? That's a toughie. I'd be willing to try it as long as I can ban something from the other army.
Well any equipment that comes standard on a guy can't very well be banned, unless he can switch it out. Like no boltguns on marines? Not possible.

OK, I'll just go Uphold the Honour of the Emperor instead, gaining 40 points in the process and getting S9 power fists on all my terminators. Meanwhile the very same terminators along with land speeder typhoons for 70 points a pop will shoot so many (S9 in the case of the termies) missiles against your vehicles that we're approaching Long Fang level of silly, if more expensive.
Just saying, AAC, NMTO isn't a no-brainer anymore, not since the FAQ atleast...

That's not so much a challenge as it is a serious debilitation to an army that has barely any antimech options. You pretty much just leave CC and tyranofex (which sucks). Good luck against a gun line.

lol.
Eldar with no Farseers (including Eldrad) or Wave Serpents.
No fortune, no transports =( Eldar would be hurting bad.
This type of deal is really unfair to the older codex, who desperately cling to their few remaining strong choices in order to keep up with the monster lists that Wolves, Angels, and soon to be GK can put on the board.
Take Space Wolves for example, I can say "no TWC and no Long Fangs", but they'd still be able to put out a powerful drop pod army, or even a razor spam. New codexes just have more competitive options then older ones, as those restrictions on an Eldar list make it nearly impossible to build a strong army.
