Hero duel ideas

[kenji10000]

Hello all. I was talking to a buddy of mine and we want to do gladiator combat with our hq's. i was wondering what rules or restrictions would make it more fun? basically I thought no special characters and use as many points as you want, would that be too exploitable? Also, any suggestions on what to bring? Thanks

Its never really gonna be fair. I would suggest not using flyers, melee characters can't do anything to them. haven't really got anything besides maybe a "weight class" concept. with points like 0 to 100, 100 to 200 and 200 to 300 maybe a 300+. Call it light medium and heavy, (super?).

Look for miniwargaming's who would win? Videos.

Braingrub Flyrant will nuke just about any other HQ in the game hands down if it can swoop. Gliding it gets beat by a standard chapter master with a shield eternal and a hammer. Which side of the fence?

We have tried to do this in our group as well but it really is hard to balance. Things like jump units, jet bikes, psykers, eternal warrior and ++ will sway the tide so quickly. Typically it comes down to who charged who, and which is toting the better ++.

Also Tau has a ridiculous upper hand with all their HQ being able to stay out of charge range with their JSJ.

Even gliding you can kite a lot of hqs, bike masters though it's more difficult with them only needing a 6" charge. If you can get off paroxysm though you can still win.

Thanks for the replies everyone. Lack of balance be damned it sounds so fun. I think we will say no swooping be all good besides that

Make sure he doesn't take MSS if he decides to play Necrons then. If you have to take something that is a "don't take" same will have to be said for him as well.

Just saw this on Dakka. Unless you are the same person this could be of interest to you. There is some rules to follow or add to.

Thanks davor! It's not me so I'll give it a careful reading

be very careful about wargear that grants instant death (bone swords, headwoppa's killchoppa, etc etc) as that can heavily skew the results (and the fun) far too quickly. but besides that, go nuts. if you do points and want to allow fliers in these 1v1 matches, allow your opponent the option of taking flakk ammo (just like the flakk missiles from any missile launcher unit these days).
