Just play it as a regular game of 40k.

If someone is going to try and be an ass and bring something like a helldrake or a leman russ, that means that they're going to be spending basically nothing on their troops choices. They'll have a really tough time being able to play to the mission, and so long as others do (and don't just get freightened of whatever they brought), then most players should have a fairly easy time of it.

IG is a big reason why "regular 40k games" don't work at 500 points.

[b]Ok with the Tau I read it that the commander can have up to 3 wounds? IG can still have a HQ their will lie elsewhere, uthe only thing breaking the game here is if the Tau can't physically have a HQ.

Fair point on the taking an enemy held objective that could really slow game play down, I'll remove that.

The only HQ IG can take with 2 wounds is absolutely awful, and damages several mechanics that the IG army depends on.

There are plenty of armies with fantastic 2 wound HQ's, but several armies only have decent HQ's in the 3 wound range.

Limiting HQ wounds to 2 gives a massive advantage to armies like GK and SW.
