Well me and my friend were down to a two model brawl in a game, a carnifex vs the avatar of khaine, and we thought up a rule. When 2 HQs are fighting, one could declare an action. A heroic feat that consumes both models, eg shoving a grenade down someone's throat or grappling the enemy and teleporting into the warp, killing both heroes, we thought it would be cool, what do you think?

Let me just load up on minipriests...

I'm going to load up on far seers, I imagine their ability would be a mind ability like disconnecting the wraith bone and flooding their minds with the warp.

Well, the thing is, you can have 5 Minipriests as HQ units. And then 2 more HQ units. This means that for 35 points you can take out your opponent's big HQ unit.

This idea would be nice if all HQ slots were equally balanced - a quick and easy "poof" of annihilation. But they aren't, and there's no easy way of making rules for this that allows them to do these actions without one side taking horrible advantage of it.

Ah but I have divised a plan, a more expensive HQ can withstand the attack for a wound, or maybe you could have a different stat (AS-action skill) and you could have like a grenadier has a better chance of killing with an action because of his AS, or a general in a flyer can crash, instant killing another HQ, and because of the plane his AS is higher, therefore being fair.

You could just fight it out.

I mean seriously, is an Avatar of the Bloody Handed God fighting the big bad bug of the Tyranid codex not awesome enough?
