So I played Confrontation for the first time last night and was underwhelmed.

Talking about being underwhelmed with it game me an idea.

Has anyone here ever played, or come up with rules for a High Value HQ or Special Character battle?

Kind of like Combat Patrol turned on its head.

I was thinking it would work something like this:

500pts (or so)

Minimum 2 wounds
All Wargear allowed, no wargear maximums.
Maybe a minimum model value of 80pts or something.
Heavy amounts of terrain (or not)

Put the 500pts on the board and go at it, you could come up with some super cool scenarios too (Grudge Matches, Duels etc.)

I can think of certain armies that would get totally nerfed in this (Tau come to mind) and it is not as though this would ever be the ONLY way I would play 40k but it would be an interesting thing to try. It could be especially fun to do in a campaign.

I could think of some nasty possibilities.

DUDE! We are going to start playing NECROMUNDA!

Let's not even talk about how guard would fare in this...

Hmm....i can see Eldar kicking arse here. take Eldrad with a couple kitted out Autarchs, and you have an awesome team for this type of match. I love the idea!

No wargear max...Nasty Nasty Daemon Princes

Dood, it is spelled dood, what are you a cowboy or something? :p

Can you take Flying Hive Tyrants in Necromunda?

It would get pretty nasty, that's for sure. But then again, if you could have multiple units instead of the single commander (which would suck for the IG player... My init 4 85 pt commander is attacking with his Str 3 power sword against your...big...Hive Tyrant.)

How about this: multiple CHQs? If we're doing 400 point battles, I think that 4 HSO's with 30 points per CHQ to burn (Power Sword, Storm Bolter, 2 Plasma Guns) might fare alright. It would make sense too, since the Guard would be able to embrace their numerical advantage even in something as this.

you could always play 2nd edition where characters devastate armies
