Half-Titandeath (possible event format for legions imperialis)

[Crablezworth]

Work in progress on a possible event format. Working title is "Half-Titandeath", and it's a pretty accurate description of the concept.

Deschenus Maximus and myself have been play testing it and the cap on activations/detachments seems to help speed of play a lot. The hope if we can do an event would be pretty laid back like 2 3.5 hour rounds likely with lunch in between. There are a few rules to help with speed like not tracking break points. Infiltrate is basically no possible so units with infiltrate have choice of forward deployment or outflank. To make things a bit less unforgiving, fleeing detachments/models get one final test when they hit the board edge to try and regroup.

List wise the idea is more or less half of your list is comprised of knight or titans or both. There's a flexible 900-1100 point level, so for example if on were to take a warlord and warhound titan (930pts) They'd have 1070pts for the rest of their list.

The scenario uses end game scoring, hq models and tank commander are worth 1vp. In addition, players assign an hq (prince/scion/barron) to the knight/titan portion of the list and indicate which knight or titan they're inside, that model is also worth 1vp if killed.

Warmasters and psi-titans are the only models currently not allowed, for sanity/balance reasons.

This is a bit of a work in progress, in terms of an event we'd probably aim small like 4-8 players. (LI isn't too big locally)

 

Here's a sample list, its just 1pt shy of 2k, 14 activations/detachments (after the magos joins a detachment)
