interesting,

looks kinda like Mordheim meets 40k (something i've been working on myself)

but people are gona get bored with it fast with those static starting companies...

have yo read mordheim? it's EXP system might serve you better
and the more flexable methods of starting bands might appeal to more players (more customization)
 
#3 ·
Another point to remember... Imperial guards, have a hard time getting ANY army on 15 model... not Force Org like, but because a guardsman arn't that great...

And yes, read the Mordheim book, the XP and more choosing would help a lot...

my recommendation would be to check out the old necro munda.
Has it all for you, and a better sytem for smaller forces like this. Plus it lets you customize them better with the experience.
