I wish I had the Last Chancers models. Their rules were hilarious. Basically, if you took Last Chancers, that was your entire army: 12 guardsmen (each an independent character) and a Chimera. It didn’t matter if you were playing a 1,000 point game or 4,000 point game. The Last Chancers themselves were like 500 points total, with 120ish for the Chimera for 600ish total.
And because 3rd. and 4th. have a lot of missions where you get victory points based on models killed, your opponent was limited to 650 points. Once you killed 800 points worth of stuff and maybe nabbed an objective or two, you won the game. The only downside is if the objective is something like table corners, which are a proportion of the point limit in victory points. So if it’s a 1,750 point game, a table corner is worth 437.5 points and your opponent’s deployment zone is worth 875. You won’t have anyone left to contest any corners, which is a serious problem.
Fehavari has quickly become my favorite BL author. He absolutely nails unreliable narrator Chaos fuckery.
15 hours is another 40k classic.
Mike Brooks’ Brutal Kunnin was a lot of fun. The balance between funny ork shit and serious Adeptus Mechanicus was well done.
But yeah. Horus Heresy has never been interesting to me and I don’t know how it garnered so many fans.

The Infinite and The Divine, which is about necron Statler and Waldorf, is also pretty good.
