I've taken a keen interest in the 40k skirmish concept. I'm sure you all remember the "Cities of the Dead" skirmish game that was coldly received when hundreds of Zombies overran Joel's IG... :D
Well, after about 5 more games like that I've moved past just zombies. I've found three different sets of rules floating around the web but I set my sights on Inquisimunda. The rules are based on GW's Necromunda gang warfare game and allow for nearly every race and class in the 40k universe. You could easily create a "power warband" but if you generally stick with the fluff, offered up by the Black Library, all of the warbands will be balanced enough for competitive play. Check out the Empire of Ghosts resource page for the ruleset: (http://empireofghosts.blogspot.com/p/inquisimunda-resources.html). I've printed out everything Jeremy has to offer and have playtested it... I'm hooked. Cody and I are hurriedly converting new warbands for an ultimate game at the end of the month (but that is another post).
As a side note, I've created a new blog site devoted to the Illuminatus-cause but I think I will slow my roll on populating it. I still feel like I'm in the playtesting phase and I barely have a warband worth of models converted let alone painted. Eventually I will shift over but for now I will keep the general blog site rolling.
Check out the following sites, especially the dakkadakka site!!!
