An idea for a 40k game type.

Get up to about 8 people, they each pick one special character (probably of a certain point range (like a weight category)). Place the characters in a circle all the same distance apart (10"-12" maybe), last one standing wins. Like in the Hunger Games series if a character gets to an objective in the middle they could unlock a piece of wargear or warlord trait. This would encourage people not to hide.

Will you form uneasy alliances or go it alone? Will you risk going for the objective and bonuses or hold back and let the others fight for it?

The rules may have to change so that everyone goes through each phase at the same time (ie. everyone moves, then everyone shoots, then everyone assaults) meaning no one gets to move, shoot and charge before anyone else can do anything.

Its just something I thought would be cool. Don't know if its an original idea.

What do you think?

The Bolter and Chainsword created a Warhammer 40,000 Arena of Death expansion. It encompasses almost everything you mentioned.

Ah ok, I'll look it up.

Thanks anyway

It appears to be 1v1 or 2 teams, while what I'm suggesting is a free for all with many different characters all fighting against each other.

A lot of the rules break down if there are more than two armies.
