I love this idea precisely because of the reasons you guys mentioned above:
- it's fun for a campaign
- it's a little rule set anyone can get into (6 year olds, their dads, anyone interested in miniatures gaming)
Basically, it's a great way to introduce someone to AoS or really, introduce them to The Hobby in general. Great stuff.

In fact, what's happening here was very much like how the current official ruleset for 40k's Kill Team started, just as a Warhammer Event, rules were shared online and adopted by the community, for fun little campaigns.

I do see cheap ranged units, like any given army's generic archers, to be the obvious go-to in these games, though. I'm thinking Archer spam, like maybe with Goblins, but I need to double-check the cost with the General's Handbook, though.
