>>14777405 Armies cannot start too close to each other so hopefully, you'll have gained ground enough to add to your Necron forces to contend with a larger force
When I made the campaign the player armies were I think Tau, Space Marine, Ork, Chaos, and IG
So little love for 'Crons at my FLGS meng

>>14777315 Wait, the WHOLE army combined can only take 3 pieces of wargear, or no unit may take more than 3 upgrades?
Anonymous
>>14777323 >Heroic Valor I think this one might work better if both sides choose which of their own unit performed the most admirably and have that unit gain 1D3 VP. If it was a massacre, the winner's unit gets the full 3 VP and the loser's unit only gainst 1D3 VP if it did not flee the battle (and was not destroyed).

>>14777972 I don't want this to be used in every battle but your idea is cool
I want this to be used to give extra points to truly outrageous feats in a battle
Like in one game I saw played between two bros
A squad of Firewarriors held together against a squad of Terminators that deepstruck next to them for 4 turns before being destroyed
He managed to kill 2 out of the 5 Terminators as well

>>14777323 Losing a battle should reduce experience. The criteria should be
1) Taking part. +1
2) Surviving +1
3) Taking and holding control points( troops) +1
4) Destroying a vehicle ( Heavy) +1 per vehicle
5) Destroying >100% of their points cost +2 ( only applicable once per game)
6) You get D4 VP per game you win as default and none for losing. Drawing is 1 each player . These can ber applied as you wish.
-1 for any unit held in reserve all game or runs off the boards edge.
-1 for being destroyed in a loss.
Running from combat is silly since it is not going to happen with some units like Nids, Space Marines or Commisar equipped Guardsmen which gives a huge advantage.

For my campaign I was planning on adding secret objectives for each player. If they manage to complete the objective, they get some sort of boost (be it points or such).
The Campaign Fag !q4s5/2XIYs
Quoted By:
>>14778229 You're right about Crons getting fucked over again
I think they'd be the only exception to the rule then
How about for Crons, the must always be able to field a Monolith in Strike to Full Force armies?
Im not sure how to fix the issue with Eldar as I dont have much experience with them
VP does need to be refined so how about something like
+1 for taking part
+1 for the unit if it's at more than half strength
-1 if it's below half strength
Massacre(d) rules still apply and perhaps rallying or at least fixing that
Maybe +1 for MVP unit?
And as I've clarified, Heroic Valor is only used on truly outrageous feats agree'd upon by both opponents

>>14778349 You can assign Key Points these things
Like say there is a battle that must be resolved over a Key Point, you could roll on a scenario chart ranging from a killteam mission to an apocalypse scenario perhaps, depending on the army sizes of course
Anonymous
>>14778349 The defending player in the killteam game would have more troops (chosen from their Troops choices), but would have to deploy them as sentries; which operate in one of 2 ways.
1) Guard: The model may not move unless it sees an enemy. It has a vision arc of 90 degrees (using vehicle-type rules for this).
2) Patrol: the unit moves 2D6" a turn while on patrol,but only on a fixed path (say, around a building or from one point to another). It has the same vision arc.
Obviously, the game would use the Night Fight rules.
I'm still working on a system for applying the damage done during these missions. If the rest of the game used your system, then most advantages would be along the lines of harming enemy DV, destroying objectives, and/or reducing the amount of points a territory provides. Repairing the damage would require the spending of action points.
The attacking Killteam would gain a BUNCH of VP for a successful mission, but would probably be killed if the mission goes bad enough; making the missions potentially very profitable but also very risky.

>>14778438 Launching a killteam raid would require something along the lines of a starport or airfield. Having the unit try to go through enemy lines might work too, with players rolling off to see the unit was spotted. If they are spotted and are too far away from friendly territory then the players fight a Killteam game, but with the roles reversed and the discovered unit trying to escape.
The Campaign Fag !q4s5/2XIYs
>>14778438 How about assigning an Elite or Fast Attack choice the designation of killteam without the opposition knowing beforehand
So that when you do carry out a killteam scenario, that unit is sent in to do the fun stuff to gain good VP and having them become a high priority target in actual battles
AS for killteam consequences, I think the easiest thing to do would be reducing the amount of AP a player generates one turn or sabotaging vehicles by giving them a glancing or even penetrating effect at the start of a game or having an army selection suffer D3 casualties
Your idea could work but I fear it may add a lot more to a campaign, not a bad thing though and it could work well if everyone agrees to it
Anonymous
>>14778503 Lowering AP would probably be TOO good. You could killteam them into staying still and doing nothing.
I'll keep working on it.
I had another idea, randomly choose a couple of territories that start neutral. If an army moves through that territory there is a chance that they could get ambushed by something like Necrons or Daemons (provided no one is playing one of those armies). They have to fight a small battle using the ambush rules on pg268-269 of the rulebook; ambushing army played by a neutral party. This would also be a way to incorporate people that can't otherwise manage to be in the campaign or tried to sign up too late. It would allow them to play a sort of pickup game that can affect the people in the campaign.
You could also do ambushed by leaving troops in a territory (or by having them scout an unclaimed territory). To do this, take 3(ish) markers, one of which represents the unit and the rest of which are blank. If another player's army goes into the same territory, flip the piece to see if the area is empty or occupied. Then play using the Ambush rules, again.

>>14778661 This would probably work best if players can only have ONE Killteam at a time througout all of their forces. This team would start the game with some nice bling, but can only be used for ambushes and raids unless your main general is present (in my campaign players have to take a mostly baseline HQ choice to represent themselves; killing him awards a unit extra VP and such); representing the tight control your supreme commander controls over his best troops.
The Campaign Fag !q4s5/2XIYs
>>14778661 Hm, I like your pep bro but that's adding too much I think
I think it's best if you left out the neutral territories thing
The best way to organize another good campaign is speed
I'm already iffy on the killteam thing braw but if you can make it work, that'd be fantastic
Anonymous
>>14778698 M'kay, no ambushes. But I think the killteam thing would work if you used the 1 per army thing. If it fails a mission (badly), it is wiped out and you have to spend points to build a new one.
The Campaign Fag !q4s5/2XIYs
>>14778691 The idea of a main general is pretty cool but I never got it to work properly so I skipped it
However, if you could include one to be important to certain objectives, it'd be fine but again, avoid adding too much to your campaigns
Organzing a bunch of dudes for this is hard enough without adding extra tidbits
The Campaign Fag !q4s5/2XIYs
Quoted By:
>>14778723 One killteam works better and that's why I suggested you make it an elite choice
High risk for high reward and all that, y'know
Anonymous
>>14778735 Well, other than being required in an army to field the Killteam, the only other real advantages to them are that they cost zero points (but start with real shitty gear), take up no force org slot, and provide some sort of bonus to your side (extra AP to armies he joins, etc).
The map will include a few ruins, which may be explored by spending AP. You'd roll to see if you find anything (6+ for 1AP, 5+ for 2AP, etc). Stuff you'd find would include relics and sweet ass gear, like daemonblades (see codex Grey Knights) and such.
They can also get more gear by defeating enemies (they can spend VP to buy gear, that kind of thing) and can even loot enemy characters.
The only trouble would be working out how to make wierd HQs fair, like any Tyranid one, Tau Commanders (Ethereals, then?), Daemons, that kind of thing.
Remember the secrete objectives thing from earlier? A lot of them reward your main HQ with gear and abilities.
All other HQs can be rebuilt if destroyed along with the rest of your army; but the main HQ is one of a kind and special. If he looses all his wounds he may die. Or he may come back a few turns later with Straken-like bionics.
I freely admit that this concept was inspired by Dawn of War.
The Campaign Fag !q4s5/2XIYs
>>14779050 Yeah sorry man, I don't think that'd work without detracted from the main campaign too much
The campaign is focused on some tactical movement and proper placement of armies and not just steamrolling to the enemy fortress and declaring youself super awesome
I'd say slip the concept entirely but work on a simple way to use the killteam stuff

Killteams being either an Elite of Fast Attack choice could work. Just put some restriction on the unit, such as:
