it works great for Warmachine. Difference being that in war machine there are no armour saves to be made. If it weren't for saving throws I would tend to agree that it would work well. The way the editions have gone with closest model and multiple saves one at a time kind of rolling it just doesn't seem like a good fit for 40K. If you ever try it I'd be interested in how it went and player feedback though.

I think a lowering in points is the best option for time.

Warmachine does this and doesn't get a lot of complaints. Warmachine has hoard and elite armies and there aren't issues s. The issues exist with the saves and remembering to roll to hit and to roll to wound and then passing the clock so the opponent can make his saves. I'm not saying it can't work and I know you are running an event Sunday and will look for the info when it's done and feedback. I'm not against clocks but it's a lot to remember and figure on. Warmachine is far better streamlined for clocks.
