Recently stumbled upon mantics firefight. Great little system for less money then GW by 40 percent rough guess.
Pros:
Only two universal command rules and three per army.
generate random number of command pts per turn based on base + plus leaders
You go I go system, makes sure you don't feel like you are playing two different games (for a command pt once per turn do another unit after already activating. Can be very strategic.
Starter comes with 800 pts each, of max 2000 pt lists (warpath is there epic battle system, needs update imho.) Both books, one is the rulelist lore etc, other is a complete pts, rules list for all the avaiable armies. (what 2 books... heresy!)
Starter is 71 models for 120 plus tax, all tokens, rules and army builder book
plays faster
lots of keywords to give individual units a different feel.
plays like legion, were movement and shooting are based from leader. This makes for less arguements and quicker gameplay.
Cons
D8 can feel swingy (1 always miss, 8 always hit.)
no limit on modifiers. Think this would depend on person even if you go above a required 8, you can half your dice and fish for 8s
models are not as detailed, the line is smaller, The orcs are chunky boys thou!
not as crunchy as eh40k
no saves, just to hit, then meet or exceed armour. (there is resilence trait which makes you re-roll a certain amount of success')
movement is less restricted then wh40k, sometimes feeling sloppy.
