In the interest of shaking things up this is the way I'd handle it.

I've often pondered what a singleton tournament would look like. Meaning 0-1 of any one unit with a different type of restriction on troops (0-1 until you run out of codex selections and then max 6).

Not that I think this really helps balance anything mind you. It just gives the tournament a different look. People will still min/max given the restrictions, but you might see something slightly more interesting that long fang spam out of space wolves or vendetta spam from guard.

I just got the Movie Marine rules and am going to do a Movie Marine 1500 point tournament instead. Once I come up with some neat scenarios and scoring I will post the information.

Am I allowed to scan two pages of a White Dwarf from 2005 and post a link on Dakka?

I think a link is okay, though we can't host anything like that. Summarizing would be fine.

how about NO SPECIAL CHARACTERS and a max of 3 transports

As far as banning ravagers goes it really is no big deal, they can easily be replaced with razorwings to do pretty much exactly the same thing.

Perhaps better than Limiters, it might be interesting to have Mandatory units.

Space Marines- Scouts

Necrons- Pariahs

Orks- Wierdboy

Nids- Pyrovore (nah, just kidding. More like Biovores or something. We want oddly useful, not useless. Though it could be interesting seeing what 'nid players would do if required to take a Pyrovore)

Stuff like that. Don't know that much about some lists, which is why I didn't put an option for each codex, but that, along with maybe some 0-1 could make for an interesting tourney.
